Upload Image Error:

The uploaded file could not be moved to /usr/local/www/vhosts/domainname.com/httpdocs/wp-content/uploads.

If you are trying to upload images and get an error similar to this, you need to make sure your files are User, Group, World "Read, Write & Execute"

For images you should check your "uploads" file, files in the path previous, and files down the path. For image errors and errors in general you should also check your .htaccess file.

How to Make your file/folders Writable

Find file/folder in your FTP client. Left-click or ctrl+click (mac) on the file/folder and choose "get info"

When the Info window pops open, make sure all three (User, Group, World) are checked Read, Write & Execute.

This should solve the upload image problem. Any thoughts?
