[Hidden-tech] Can anyone figure out this WordPress issue?

[B. Kimo Lee]

HI Shel,

Could it be possible that the capacity of the upload folder is maxed out? Do you have more than 1,000 single files in there that could be archived and deleted? Sometimes Wordpress won't be able to create the folder, even if the permissions are correct, if there are too many files in it and no room for a new upload directory. 

Hope this helps.

Best,
Kimo
