    Hi

    I have a blog at copenhagener.dk but - it is about a year old. I never used it until now when I just got started for real.

    However I have no option in the write post dialogue window to upload pictures.

    I can see from other posters and FAQ that there is supposed to be some tabs with media uploads, documents as well as picture. The only option I have is to link to a picture already on the web.

    Is it because I use an old version and how do I find my wordpress version? I have a feeling it is 1.6 but not sure.

    Please help :-)

    are you using an older wp version - this is a fairly new concept?
    maybe upgrade?

    how do I see if this is an older version?

    What version did picture upload come with?

    the newest is 2.6.3

    look at the bottom of any admin screen for version

    I have now upgraded my version 2.0.X to 2.6.3
    The MEDIA option tabs are now there.

    Unfortunately I get this error when I try to upload:
    “The uploaded file could not be moved to.........”

    How do I get around this?

    Thanks :-)

    Your server configuration is wrong.
    Contact your host (or try and CHMOD all directories)
    and it seems like you are on a Windows server . try to switch to Linux.

    typically, you ned to chmod the /wp-content folder to 777 the 1st time you use it, then chmod back to 755

    a linux server would be faster and more trouble free.
