How to Fix ‘Unable to create directory’ error when uploading image into WordPress
This post has a textual and video instructions showing how to fix the WordPress "Unable to create directory" error when uploading/inserting image into WordPress. I started getting the "Unable to create directory /wp-content/uploads/2008/12. Is its parent directory writable by the server?" error when uploading or inserting image into a WordPress post just after upgrading to WordPress 2.7. First I thought it is a directory permission related error so I tried changing the permission of my 'upload' directory to 777 but I was still having the same problem. After trying many things I was able to fix it using the following method. Log into your WordPress Admin account. Go to 'Miscellaneous' Settings options from the 'Settings' menu. In the Miscellaneous Settings put wp-content/uploads in the "Store uploads in this folder" text box. Save the Changes by hitting the "Save Changes" button and you are done. Fix WordPress Image Upload Error: Video Instructions Let me know if this method worked for you.

WordPress Theme Choosing Tips and Resources
Choosing a WordPress theme that will go good with the content of your blog and will stand the test of time is not an easy task. Sometimes it takes days for me to find that ultimate WordPress theme that I really like and has all the essential features that I want. I spend more time choosing a theme upfront even though the WordPress theme of a Blog can be changed anytime is because sometimes it can be a hassle to change the theme in the middle when I have made a lot of custom changes to the existing WordPress theme. What to Look for When Choosing a WordPress Theme Non Technical side of things The first thing to pay attention to when choosing a WordPress Theme for your blog is the look and feel of the theme. Look and feel of a theme is very important. You want your visitors to feel comfortable when browsing your site. I try not to choose a theme that hurts the eye at the first look. The theme also gives your visitor an idea about your blog's content. So try to choose a theme that's relevant to the content. For example, if your blog is about Christmas ...

How to Install WordPress on Your Blog (Instructions with Screenshots)
This is a quick WordPress Installation guide with screen shots to get your blog up and running quickly. After reading this WordPress Installation guide you will know exactly how you can install WordPress quickly on your Blog in Four easy steps. A detailed WordPress Installation Instruction can be found at WordPress.org. I install WordPress frequently for my friends and myself and I find the detailed installation instructions on WordPress.org to contain too much details for me, so I needed a cut down and more common version of WordPress installation instructions and hence the birth of this post. This WordPress installation instruction mainly takes into account the most common web hosting solution example (e.g. access to 'cPanel'). I install WordPress this way because it allows me to work on concurrent installation related tasks at the same time (e.g. Add database while the WrodPress files are being uploaded to my server) resulting in a reduced total WordPress install time. Step 1: Transfer the WordPress files to your web server Download and unzip the latest WordPress package from WordPress Download Page.

Good Domain Name Picking Tips for Your Blog Setup

Good Domain Name Picking Tips for Your Blog Setup
The first thing that comes to my mind when setting up a blog is getting a good domain name. In this article, I have described why I think it is important to choose a good domain name upfront. I have also explained how you can pick a good domain name for your blog or website followed by some domain name picking tips and general outlines ("dos" and "don't s"). Why pick a good domain name for your blog Apart from many other reasons, you want to pick a good domain name for your blog site from the start because most likely you will be stuck with that domain name for the rest of the blog's life. You may change the domain hosting provider from time to time depending on how reliable your current domain hosting provider is but the domain name will remain the same. The reason I say that you will be stuck with that name is mainly because changing the domain name is kind of like starting all over again from the start and you don't want to do that once your site is established and getting regular traffic. You will start with '0' Google Page rank and will have ...

How to import WordPress SQL database backup file without having ‘create new database’ privileges in phpMyAdmin
In this article I have explained how you can import your WordPress SQL database backup file even when you do not have the 'create new database' privilege in phpMyAdmin. This is particularly useful when you are trying to import the SQL database as part of transferring your site from one host (old-host.com) to another host (new-host.com) and your new host doesn't have the 'Create new database' privilege in phpMyAdmin. In your phpMyAdmin page check for the 'create new database' privilege. If the privilege settings looks like the example shown below then your database import following the normal method is going to fail as it will try to create a database and you don't have permission to do that. [caption id="attachment_417" align="alignnone" width="192" caption="No privilege to create new database "][/caption] You will get the following error when trying to import the database file: #1044 - Access denied for user 'username'@'localhost' to database 'database_name' To get around this problem and to complete importing your database to your new host do the following: Login to your cPanel and click on 'MySQL Databases'.
