Hi there,
I'm getting a 'missing temporary directory' error when trying to upload images to blog posts.
I had a look on Google and it appears that in a hosted situaton I would contact the hosting provider, however, I'm running my blog through XAMPP while I'm developing it.
As well as this, I intend to have a Jquery S3Slider either in the same div as the post loop, or just below the header before the posts/sidebar. While the script appears to run ok, and the animation shows, the images dont. I know you need to use absolute links to images but how is this done on a localhost?
Many thanks

try this.
under settings - miscellaneous, make sure your store uploads in this folder is set to wp-content/uploads

Thanks for the reply,
It is pointing to wp-content/uploads in the settings, but the folder didn't exist.
I created it, yet it still displays the 'missing temporary folder' error.

Hmm had a further look around and still can't find the solution.
Anyone else got any ideas?

Ok shameless bump for this one, sorry everyone.
I can't go much further with my site now until I get this sorted and I've tried everything I can find on Google and WP.
There is a sticky on uploader issues but this doesn't appeared to be covered.
Surely someone knows the answer!
Thanks

This is resolved by creating a temporary folder, setting the permissions on that folder, and updating your php.ini to reflect what temporary folder you've created.
This worked for me running XAMPP locally on my Mac.
There are some step by step notes here:

Best of luck.
