One possible issue is the user that the file permissions are set for is not the same user that PHP is executing as, meaning you may view the permissions on the folder and they seem correct but they are different for the user that PHP is executing as. We encountered this ourselves with our own web host. But that error is triggered by file permissions not being correct so there is definitely something wrong with the file permissions. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/running-in-multisite-mode-upload-folder-is-not-writable#post-29187 Tue, 05 Jul 2011 23:45:30 +0000 wpfmon75 29187@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Carl,</p> <p>Thanks for the suggestion. That folder/directory is writable by the owner of Wordpress, that was the first thing I looked at. Could this be sourced from anything else? </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/running-in-multisite-mode-upload-folder-is-not-writable#post-29116 Tue, 05 Jul 2011 12:12:22 +0000 Carl Hancock 29116@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>You need to make sure the wp-content/uploads folder is writeable. That is most likely where the error is coming from because that is the folder it's checking for. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/running-in-multisite-mode-upload-folder-is-not-writable#post-29071 Mon, 04 Jul 2011 12:54:35 +0000 wpfmon75 29071@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>I'm getting the following error in WordPress 3.1.4 running in MultiSite mode with Gravity Forms version 1.5.2.8</p> <p>Upload folder is not writable. Export and file upload features will not be functional.</p> <p>Based on my searching around on the Forums, I believe this has something to do with where WordPress has the upload folder set for the blogs I have setup but I am unable to determine with certainty where this is set under the Network Admin area. </p> <p>I have navigated over to the 'Edit Site' area and see the following area referenced for upload:</p> <p>Upload Path wp-content/blogs.dir/2/files</p> <p>Is this the setting? If so, it is owned and writable by the user that owns WordPress.</p> <p>Any assistance would be appreciated. Thanks! </p>
