   Ever since changing web hosts, I'd noticed that the image uploader was no longer working properly. Every time I tried to upload an image, everything went fine except for, apparently, the actual upload. Going to the /wp-content/... URL resulted in a 404. I had to upload images manually through my FTP client.

   Then, today, I noticed something odd: a /public_html/ folder in my server root. I took a look there, and found a wp-content folder, full of all my lost uploads from the past few months.

   The problem is that my old host called the document root of my site /public_html/, while the new host calls it /plankhead.com/. WordPress, for some reason, still seems to think it should be uploading to /public_html/. How can I change this?

   Plankhead, did you ever get a solution figured out?

   I have also moved servers recently, which went OK until I tried to install WP e-commerce, which seems to be trying to upload my shopping cart folder (or something!) to the wrong server and path. I have looked in wp-config and everywhere else I can think of, but don't know where I have forgotten to edit something!

   Yeah, I figured out a solution. It's called opening Cyberduck every time I write a post.

   In other words, no, not particularly. I might have to do a full reinstall at some point.
