  • Did you check the file permissions for the wp-content folder? Needs to be 755. Commented Nov 13, 2013 at 21:25
  • yup, wp-content is set to 755 Commented Nov 13, 2013 at 21:58
  • Hmm. That's the only thing I can think of since it says denied by server. All the subfolders and files of wp-content are also set to 755? If so, someone with more expertise should look at this. Or you can manually move your media library, however that can be very frustrating as I know from recent experience :-). Can give you some tips though if you're going for a manual move.

  • The error actually seems to be the server trying to write to a folder that doesn't exist. On the test server (exported from) the site ID was 10, on the production server (importing to) the site ID is 6. So I am really confused why the importer is trying write to a folder for a site ID that doesn't exist. the error log is from the production server, which is being imported to Commented Nov 13, 2013 at 23:32
  • Please update your question with any new info, rather than posting it in comments. Also: Are you using WordPress's import & export functionality (ie WXR files), or are you trying to import from a SQL export or something? Commented Nov 14, 2013 at 4:21
