   Having read the following links:

   I've gone through all of the suggested solutions, and I still can't figure out what's going on with my image uploader. The images appear to upload, get past the "crunching" stage, but when I go to put the info in, the image in the preview doesn't show, and when I look on the server the image hasn't actually uploaded at all. There are no errors at all, other than the image not actually uploading.

   I've reset the permissions for the uploads folder, and all folders inside there as well. Not sure what else to try?

   Thanks so much in advance for your help!

   Try a very small picture as a test. 80x80 pixels or something like that.

   Maximum size depends on memory assigned to php, typically a Web hosting company decision.

   Admittedly, that only eliminates one possible problem, but it is the most common, in my experience.

   Myself, I am in the midst of switching to the NextGEN plug-in as it allows me to upload full 6Mpixel originals without complaint.

   If it is a server memory allocation problem, a warning should have shown IMHO..

   @patdryburgh - if you use 2.8.4 - try to SAVE A DRAFT BEFORE attempting to upload images, and see if it might help ..

   The answer is totally simple - at least it was for me. Log into your wp-admin area and on the DASHBOARD go to SETTINGS.

   Choose MISCELLANEOUS

   The first field is suppose to default to wp-content/uploads yet several of our blogs only had the first part "wp-content" (without quotes).

   By adding the /uploads to that first field, and even leaving Month/Year, etc., alone, the uploading of images now works like a charm.

   It just appears that while the "default" should have/could have been written into the 2.8.4 code itself, it was overlooked.

   Hope this fixes your problem. Again, it fixed mine and several other blogs I manage.

   Hi,

   Add this code in htaccess:

   php_value upload_max_filesize 30M
   php_value post_max_size 30M

   and make sure that you have set required path for upload from wordpress admin area and assigned 766 recursive permissions wp-content directory

   Thanks,

   Shane G.

   Adding the htaccess caused an internal server error. I've been going through all the various posts on this topic and nothing is seeming to work. Should I revert back to 2.7?

   I've had this problem for each of my wordpress installs and I have finally figured it out.

   YOU MUST ADD THE DIRECTORY TO YOUR SERVER!!!

   On your server in directory in wp-content folder create a new folder call 'uploads'

   Then login to wordpress and under the Settings -->Miscellaneous
   there is a section asking 'Store Uploads in this folder' enter wp-content/uploads (even if it says something else or is blank)

   This worked (finally!) for me
