Can't upload avatar in Wordpress

This is a simple procedure on how to configure your WordPress website to allow your members to upload their own avatars.

Assuming you are getting this error "Upload Failed! Error was: Unable to create directory /avatars/3"

Here's how to fix this error:
- Using a FTP program, go to wp-content folder.
- Create a new folder "uploads" and give 777 permission.

/public_html/wp-content (0755 permission)
/public_html/wp-content/uploads (0777 permission)

Try uploading avatar, you will see this error disappear, and you will be able to crop the image.

Hope this help.
