I've run into a few cases with WordPress installs with Bluehost where I've encountered errors with my WordPress theme because the uploads folder wp-content/uploads
was not present.
Apparently the Bluehost cPanel WordPress installer does not create this folder, though HostGator does.
So I need to add code to my theme that checks for the folder and creates it otherwise.
When you want to create a directory in a path that does not exist then an error message also display to inform the user. If you want to create the directory in any non-exist path or omit the default error message then you have to use '-p' option with 'mkdir' command.
You can either use an if statement to check if the directory exists or not. If it does not exits, then create the directory. You can directory use mkdir with -p option to create a directory. It will check if the directory is not available it will.
mkdir WILL give you an error if the directory already exists. mkdir -p WILL NOT give you an error if the directory already exists. Also, the directory will remain untouched i.e. the contents are preserved as they were.
import os path = '/Users/krunal/Desktop/code/database' os. makedirs(path, exist_ok=False) print("The new directory is created!") So that's how you easily create directories and subdirectories in Python with makedirs(). That's it for creating a directory if not exist in Python.
Try this, using mkdir:
if (!file_exists('path/to/directory')) { mkdir('path/to/directory', 0777, true); }
Note that 0777
is already the default mode for directories and may still be modified by the current umask.
Here is the missing piece. You need to pass 'recursive' flag as third argument (boolean true) in mkdir call like this:
mkdir('path/to/directory', 0755, true);
