Required Attention: "Your profile photo directory is not writable."

I don't know what this means! Can you guys help me? I have had this for a few days, but it is annoying seeing this every time I log in!

Ah. In your system settings you most likely have the uploads path misconfigured. Change that under General Configuration and let me know if it works

One thing at a time. You need to make sure your directory for photos is globally writable  Click more info and it should tell you what directory you need to chmod to 777 (Linux/cPanel).

 

You can change permissions of a folder using FTP, a web based file manager provided by your host, or via ssh. Let me know if you're still confuzzled.

Please check the permissions on the profile photo directory '/home/jappy/public_html/uploads/profile/' and make sure that it is writable.

 

It says this but in my folder there is /home/public_html/forums/uploads/profile... how I can change this pathway? your way works but it probably will eventually mess it something in the future if the paths dont go together
