When I first started using ClassiPress, there is one thing that I encountered that has frustrated me. To my frustration, I thought that this classified ads for wordpress is just a scam and a quick cash in for the developers. Through research I have found out that this problem is NOT caused by ClassiPress but by Wordpress.
When I installed classipress on my classified ads wordpress sites, it seems that I can not post or update pictures. This is because of wordpress’ permission and you have to do a little tinkering on your server. Do not worry, it will not be hard and it is quite easy.
The Reason
The reason we can not post or upload pictures after installing classipress is because of file permissions. So to fix this, fire up your FTP program and look for the /wp-contents directory. You will see the theme, plugins directory there. What you want to do is set the file permission to the /uploads directory to 777. This should do the trick!
If you don’t have /uploads folder
Create one! Its ok to create an uploads folder. Then, to make classipress work, you need to set the permission to 777.
Again, this is not classipress’ fault, its wordpress.
