Upload Images to My Wordpress Media Library

I'm getting an error when I try to upload images to my Wordpress media library. The error says, "Unable to create directory uploads/2013/03. Is its parent directory writable by the server? Go to your Network Settings to enable zip and txt extensions in Upload file types field." What's the issue here? Is this a setting in cPanel?

Hello mscott, Thank you for your question. I recommend checking your file permissions for the /uploads directory, folders should be 7-5-5, and files should be 6-4-4. Also be sure to check the the folders above the /uploads folder, as it can inherit permissions from parent folders. If your issues persist I recommend contacting live support, so you can provide login credentials securely and they can atempt to replicate the error. If you have any further questions, feel free to post them below, or contact live Tech Support.
