Quite a times when either we or you experienced an image upload issue. It means as soon as we upload an image in WordPress, it will show up as broken in the media library or sometimes even more worst, we will not be able to upload any image in WordPress. To help you on this, in this article, we will show you up on how to fix image upload issue in your WordPress blog.

#1 Understanding Problem – What Causing It?

The issue caused mainly because of the wrong file permissions. It means that the file permissions you set in your WordPress blog is meant to be wrong. In short, you need to correct those file permissions so that you will be able to upload images to your website.

#2 Why This Happened?

This can be happened because of one-to-many reasons, say your hosting company upgrade something from the backend and result of which, the file permissions got changed. Similar way, on shared hosting which is quite a poorly configured also results in ending up wrong file permissions result of which you would not be able to upload the images.

#3 How To Solve It?

In order to solve it, you would be requiring a FTP client, like Filezilla. Once you connect your website using the FTP client, then you need to go your website’s wp-content directory where you will find an /uploads/ folder. Right clicking on the folder will show options to your, where you will find file permissions as one of options available.

On selecting “file permissions,” a whole new dialog box will appear in front of you. In this you have to set file permissions for uploads directory. Well, to perform this task, enter 744 in the numberic value box and once done, you need to check the box next to Recurse into subdirectories. As soon as you complete the task, click on “Apply to directories only” radio button. Click OK and you are done.

The next step which you have to perform is to set file permissions for all the files in the uploads directory. The step again (almost) follow the same suite as above, simply right click on uploads directory followed by selecting file permissions. In this, at the file permissions dialog box, change the numeric value to 644. Now, once done, check on the box next to Recurse into subdirectories. Click OK and you are done.

What You Prefer? Full Post Or Excerpt For Your Archive Pages

It’s quite a confusing task when one summoned on which one to use for archive pages – full post or just an excerpt. While both options got its own advantage and disadvantage and this is what we planned to discussed in this article.

When building a website, two factors one probably think of – 1. On how the whole of website will perform i.e. whether it will be easily brows-able by the visitors and they can easily find up what they are looking for. and 2. Does the website performing well in the search engines also i.e. does with the help of search engines, visitors will be able to locate the content on our website easily.

Load Time

Since a post contains a huge combination of both images as well as content and if one is using an excerpts in an archive pages, then without a doubt the page load time will increase. Plus, the visitors get an additional option on to browse and search the content via categories, tags, dates on offer.

Duplicate Content

Excerpts on your archive page will let you being saved from duplicate content issue in search engines. While if in case you put on the full post on archive pages, then it wills nothing but ends with duplicating the data as now the same content will be displayed in number of pages.

Pageviews and Bounce Rate

Site visitor often leave the website which loads slow. As again using the excerpts in your archive pages, you increase pageviews as well as reduce bounce rate automatically because in order to read the full content, visitors have to click through to enter into the full post page to read the content.

Who Wins At The End?

Two possibilities comes into existence here, if you are having your content short in length and don’t contain much images, then it is preferable to opt for full posts on your archive page BUT if the content is long and contains number of images, then without a doubt, it is good to use excerpts for your archive pages.

While one-to-many time you do notice that some important updates are on the move. Although the automatic update make its entrant with WordPress 3.7 BUT if you feel and really like to have the auto-updating on board, then you can simply enable it for major versions as well. Even also you can update all this manually, but, again considering on context that if you are running your WordPress website without any managed hosting service provider, then updating your website can be a time consuming process.

Interestingly, the team behind WordPress developments didn’t enable automatic updates itself for all WordPress releases BUT if you considerably think that your hosting service provider is that much efficient to accept this change and can welcome your site’s plugins and themes, then all you can enable the feature for major releases as well. All you have to do is to add the following code to your site’s wp-config file and you are done:

define( 'WP_AUTO_UPDATE_CORE', true );

1	define( 'WP_AUTO_UPDATE_CORE', true );

While the code also gives an open window to nightly updates also. But, you can disable those nightly builds updates by simply adding the following line of code either in your site’s theme’s functions.php file or site-specific plugin. It will leads toward disabling all automatic updates for nightly builds.

add_filter( 'allow_dev_auto_core_updates', '__return_false' );

1	add_filter( 'allow_dev_auto_core_updates', '__return_false' );
