Thanks. &nbsp;The permissions were set to read and write for me, I changed the permission to read write for everyone else, but unfortunately, I'm still getting the same error. I checked the permissions for both wp content and the uploads directory.

A blog is a discussion or informational site consisting of discrete entries ("posts") typically displayed in reverse chronological order. Blogs can be the work of a single individual but more recently "multi-author blogs" (MABs) have developed, with posts written by large numbers of authors and professionally edited and "microblogging" systems help integrate blogs into societal newstreams.
