My service provider confirmed that PHP safe mode is off, but I still have the error. Unfortunately I cannot see exactly what path it is trying to create, I only get the "FAILED (Upload folder could not be created.) " error in the admin confirmation message.</p> <p>wp-content has permission 755 and uploads I changed from 755 to 777 when this problem started.</p> <p>I initially had the path as "wp-content/uploads" (without the front and back slashes) and then it uploaded the file inside wp-content as uploadsfilename.ext</p> <p>I have asked for directoryindexing to be turned off too. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/failed-upload-folder-could-not-be-created-2#post-72447 Fri, 24 Aug 2012 06:49:42 +0000 Chris Hajer 72447@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>What are the permissions for the wp-content folder and uploads folder within that?</p> <p>Your code looks correct. However, can you post the full error? Does it show the path of the folder it's trying to create?</p> <p>You may want to turn off DirectoryIndexes on your server:<br /> <a href="http://fllsa.org/wp-content/uploads/" rel="nofollow">http://fllsa.org/wp-content/uploads/</a> </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/failed-upload-folder-could-not-be-created-2#post-72432 Fri, 24 Aug 2012 03:31:28 +0000 vixvii 72432@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>From other forums this looks like it is a PHP safe mode issue, but I need to be sure. I have requested my service provider to look into it for me too, but what confuses me is that this works if I use just the wp_content folder... Only problem is that I need the uploads to go to the root of the uploads folder.</p> <p>Could you please verify if I am using the filters correctly below?</p> <pre><code>add_filter(&quot;gform_upload_path&quot;, &quot;change_upload_path&quot;, 10, 2); function change_upload_path($path_info, $form_id){ $path_info[&quot;path&quot;] = &quot;/wp-content/uploads/&quot;; $path_info[&quot;url&quot;] = &quot;http://fllsa.org/wp-content/uploads/&quot;; return $path_info; }</code></pre> <p>Thanks! </p>
