Uploaded Header Question

[chucktv]

I've looked on this in FAQ, but can't find my answer. A forum newbie.

I uploaded my own header in your header section, says it was uploaded. Why doesn't it appear in the Uploads box? It is correct size and jpg.

Thanks...

We have a header upload issues thread in the FAQ.

Usually this problem is either.

Filename with numbers, spaces or punctuation in them.
Incorrect file permissions on header-images/uploads/ (should be 777)
Media upload folder not set in Settings > Media. (should be: wp-content/uploads)

I just posted a header question and saw the reply here. I went to FAQ and typed in the search term...header and nothing came up. I'm going to rename the file and see if it works. I think it is a numerical name right now.

I tried renaming the image. That did not work. I don't understand how to correct these problems.

Incorrect file permissions on header-images/uploads/ (should be 777)
Media upload folder not set in Settings > Media. (should be: wp-content/uploads)

Found this. It is correct.

Media upload folder not set in Settings > Media. (should be: wp-content/uploads)

That only leaves the Incorrect file permissions on header-images/uploads/ (should be 777), where do I change that?

Everything else is correct so far. Thanks.

The "Frequently asked questions" thread is right below the navbar. The "faq" link is for vbulletin related faqs.

To search the forum, use the search box in the primary navbar.

To change permissions you need FTP or file manager access. You would access the directory via FTP and change the permission.

This problem rarely happens if you installed Socrates via the wordpress dashboard. Did you install Socrates via FTP or wordpress?
