Hi,
Same problem here. Is there a line where we can hardcode the directory with the userphoto’s. I just need it for one user.
Jers and Mafiamoso:
What are the error messages you are receiving? Did you change the default upload path from “wp-content/uploads”?
I’ve tried everything and get this error:
Upload error: The userphoto upload content directory does not exist and could not be created. Please ensure that you have write permissions for the /userphoto directory. Did you put slash at the beginning of the upload path in Misc. settings? It should be a path relative to the WordPress root directory.
Do I need to create a folder and if so where? Then exactly what do I put in the upload directory under the Misc tab?
Thanks!
Not sure if this will help but trying going to:-
http://www.yoursite.com/wp-admin/options-misc.php
go to:
– settings
– miscellaneous settings
and then uncheck
Organize my uploads into month- and year-based folders
This may help.
I have a question as well:-
How do I use User Photo with wp_list_authors to show current authors with their photo next to them in the side bar
Thanks

Getting the same errors, I have the default upload setting.
Warning: mkdir() [function.mkdir]: open_basedir restriction in effect. File(/userphoto) is not within the allowed path(s): (/home:/usr/lib/php:/usr/php4/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php:/usr/local/php4/lib/php:/tmp) in /home/public_html/press/wp-content/plugins/user-photo/user-photo.php on line 409

Maybe this plugin doesn’t work with some hosts – could be the PHP setup.
you have to put absolute path something like that :
/home/public_html/press/thewayyouwant.
Yes, either the absolute path from the system root, like:
/home/public_html/press/thewayyouwant/wp-content/uploads
Or a relative path from the WordPress install:
press/thewayyouwant/wp-content/uploads
Both should be good values for “upload path”
Maybe I’m a little dense, but I unchecked the box in settings as suggested above. I also changed the upload folder to this wp-content/authors/ and I still get this error in the user page:
Upload error: The userphoto upload content directory does not exist and could not be created. Please ensure that you have write permissions for the /userphoto directory. Did you put slash at the beginning of the upload path in Misc. settings? It should be a path relative to the WordPress root directory.
But I know it’s there I created the folder.
When I try to upload anyway, I get this error:
Warning: mkdir(/userphoto) [function.mkdir]: Permission denied in /homepages/37/d253594647/htdocs/nfa/wp-content/plugins/user-photo/user-photo.php on line 409

HELP!!! lol 🙂
my message error:
Warning: mkdir() [function.mkdir]: Permission denied in /usr/share/wordpress_kmkiRR/wp-content/plugins/user-photo/user-photo.php on line 409

I have the default path wp-content/uploads
have you put a chmod 777 to wp-content/uploads ?
@jlyon:
To use User Photo with wp_list_authors(), I think you could add a filter to the author name before calling wp_list_authors() and then remove the filter after calling it. Otherwise, iterating over all of the authors by hand will always work.
@jessai & westonruter
Where does the absolute or WordPress install relative path go? Is it a setting in the plugin somewhere or under WordPress Settings > Miscellaneous ?
Those weird paths “lib/php:/tmp” are being pulled from somewhere automatically, I’m not sure where. Everyone is getting different random paths so i guess they’re coming from the hosts’ servers.
Westonruter – any suggestions for me?
@jamie Birch:
I think you need to chmod 777 that directory you created; that’s why it’s giving you “permission denied”. But it looks like the “upload path” is not correctly stored in WordPress. Try setting it again in Settings > Misc > Upload Directory
