@Brenda what server are you on?

Thanks for the response, Christian. My server seems to allow more restrictive permissions, and it’s all working, so I’m leaving it at that. I did have to modify the php with the @fopen and @fclose. Hope this is ok.

Thanks for a great tool!

Yes, 777 permissions are a security risk.

Some servers won’t let you upload images if you don’t have 777 permissions. This means you won’t be able to use the media gallery from Wordpress without these permissions on the /uploads folder.

Only and only on the uploads directory should receive 777 permissions.

To put it into perspective, if you can use the media gallery you will be able to use this script!

Isn’t changing permissions to 777 a security risk? See this article: http://codex.wordpress.org/Changing_File_Permissions

Am glad it worked out for you. Nice place to ask questions here.

Yeah, I think it was just a syntax error. I re-pasted the code along with some of my other functions and everything started working just fine. Thanks very much for the input!

This probably means you have spaces after the last php closing tag in functions.php.

Check for that and let me know if it fixed it!

Could be a syntax error. I would check for mistakes there first.

I added the code to my functions.php in my child theme and now I am getting this error:

Warning: Cannot modify header information – headers already sent by (output started at /home/hypr/public_html/blog/wp-content/themes/johng/functions.php:104) in /home/hypr/public_html/blog/wp-includes/pluggable.php on line 868

Not sure what I need to do to fix this. Any thoughts?

Have you tried to superimpose your text on your image in Photoshop and save it to your desktop? Then go ahead and upload it to your theme’s folder? I have done that at times to make text over images work.
