Problem :

While making the new post on wordpress blog that requires any media like Image & video, When you try to upload media in post you get this error message.

Unable to create directory /wp-content/uploads/2010/03. Is its parent directory writable by the server?

The parent directories “uploads” and “2010″ had 777 permission so there was nothing wrong with the permission settings.

Fix :

The problem was not with the directory permissions, but it was with URL where Wordpress was trying to upload the image.

• Go to Settings > Miscellaneous > Store uploads in this folder
• Remove ” / ” from the front of “wp-content/uploads“

There is another way to of changing the file upload path of your Wordpress blog by modifying wp-config.php file.

• Add this define(‘UPLOADS’, ‘wp-content/new_folder’); Before this require_once(ABSPATH.’wp-settings.php’);

Problem :
If you are working on hover menus with sub-menus & under it there is an image. When you hover menu & expanded sub-menus hide behind image as both div’s are positioned well with the right z-index property.

In Internet Explorer positioned elements generate a new stacking context, starting with a z-index value of 0. Therefore z-index doesn’t work correctly.

Fix :
To fix this bug, Give parent div a higher z-index value

<div style="z-index: 3000">
    <div style="position:absolute;z-index:1000;">
	<a href="#">Page</a>
	        ...
    </div>
</div>
