Well I am running WordPress vs 3.5.1 on Windows 7. Permissions aren’t as simple as setting chmod 777 on Windows. I have check and even tried resetting the File permissions on Windows which from what I can tell is basically setting a user as the owner.

Has anyone who has had this problem on Windows actually ever fixed it? All my searches never resulted in an answer for a Non- Linux or Mac

  1. After trying many things with permissions, I found my problem.

    I uses a plugin called Duplicator to move WordPress installs around from server to server, it handles changing URLS’s and Paths.

    So in settings => Media => Store uploads in this folder it was setting the Full Filepath to my Uploads folder. I changed it to be relative wp-content/uploads instead of full like this E:/Server/htdocs/projects/sitename/www/wp-content/uploads and the problem went away!
