The last two are stock WordPress. The CONCATENATE_SCRIPTS one will have no effect, and the WP_CACHE could have an effect on form submissions, but should not affect file uploads.</p> <p>The error specifically said "wp_rg_twilio" table which is one of ours.</p> <p>The file uploads from a form will go to wp-content/uploads/gravity_forms/6-somerandomstring/</p> <p>So, all those permissions and ownership need to be correct.</p> <p>Be sure that you have not changed the upload path either in your media settings or with code in your functions.php.</p> <p>Also, be sure all the database tables made it OK after the migration. I think that would have other effects, but it would be good to check. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/failed-upload-folder-could-not-be-created-3#post-145017 Sat, 09 Feb 2013 02:20:04 +0000 Watchman Monitoring 145017@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Thanks Chris!</p> <p>I got this in the form submission</p> <p> FAILED (Upload folder could not be created.)</p> <p>I'll have to check the twillio add on.. it seemed to me that twilio is a library in use by various plugins, and i don't remember installing a twilio plugin directly...</p> <p>Let's assume it's a file system issue.</p> <p>what folders should I check?</p> <p>and is any of this, from my wp-config file, a known problem?</p> <p>define('CONCATENATE_SCRIPTS', false);<br /> /* That's all, stop editing!
