The connections-images folder is not writable.

I’m getting a notice that says; “The connections-images folder is not writable.” What does this notice mean and how do I fix it?

This folder is created automatically during the installation and activation of Connections. The folder is required as it is where logos and photos are uploaded when adding and/or updating an entry. During activation Connections will attempt to make this folder writable, however, some web host configurations prevent this from occurring automatically. To fix this, log in to your site using FTP and browse to the connections-images within the wp-content/uploads folder. Now, set the permissions to 755. The relative server path should be:

../wp-content/uploads/connections-images/

NOTE: Some web host configurations require additional privileges, if that is the case, try 767.

NOTE: You might have to first delete the folder, recreate it and then set the permissions.
