Create a folder if it doesn't already exist

Question

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 WP 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.

You can try also:

$dirpath = "path/to/dir";
$mode = "0777";
is_dir($dirpath) || mkdir($dirpath, $mode, true);
