    Greetings everyone!

    I have a WordPress site that was moved from a PHP server to a aspx server. believe me, this was not my idea!

    Anyway, i have having difficulty posting images to pages, posts or even to Media. The error i get shows that the install into my aspx server now has an incoorect link to the uploads folder:

    “Unable to create directory
    /home/traffics/public_html/wp-content/uploads/2013/01. Is its parent
    directory writable by the server? “

    Has anyone been able to correct this? Any insight is much appreciated!

    Let’s have a great year!

    Mike

    Try changing the permissions on the wp-content directory to ensure that it is writeable. Once your uploads are working, you can change the permissions on wp-content back again and check that everything still works OK.

    Thanks esmi!

    Oh… Your suggestion is the the first thing I looked into. In the ASPX “control panel” folder does not show the option to change file permissions or properties.

    I sent a support ticket in and I was told the link to the uploads folder was incorrect. Here is the main link again: /home/traffics/public_html/wp-content/uploads/2013/01

    The new server no longer has “/home/traffics/public_html” which is relative to the first install. I wonder if there is a way to change “/home/traffics/public_html” to the actual location on this aspx server. I just checked the wp-config.php and i don’t see it there.

    Thanks for your help!

    Check the upload_path value in the wp_options table of the database.

    Thanks esmi!

    I opened the db and found a redirection to another folder found in the original server.

    I simply removed this path, leaving the path blank. I also updated WP to 3.5. We are now posting images. 🙂

    Thank you!
