    Hi,
    I have a problem in 2.6
    in the setting, in the Miscellaneous,
    i change the "Store uploads in this folder" from Default wp-content/uploads to: picture-sample
    after that when i want to upload the picture in write tab, post, in add an image,
    the url of picture is for the before of changes, like this:
    http://www.my-site.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/08/pic.jpg

    While it should be:
    http://www.my-site.com/picture-sample/2008/08/pic.jpg

    what is the problem?
    i use bluehost.com for hosting.

    ooooooh i found it.

    Additional: A new issue in WordPress 2.6 occurs when you have a custom directory for file uploads. The upload will work, but the link/thumbnail link will be wrong and so the image won't appear. This is a bug which can be fixed in one of two ways (either works):
    a) Specify the correct URL to the upload directory in the "optional" field just below the custom image path field.
    b) There's a new wp-includes/functions.php which will eliminate the issue. Download it and replace your existing wp-includes/functions.php file with it.

    hey folks, is this the best way to fix this problem? Is the correction included in v2.6.5?

    thanks...

    Thank you, Anonymous! Replacing functions.php did the trick! I'm still on 2.6.0, by the way.
