Problem with WooThemes Original Premium News Images

Well i checked the files and i cannot find the text to you posted.. (the word failed for example exists only in one place, and thats inside a code comment)..

Can you provide the error message in it’s entirety.. and i’ll track down what produces that message..

Ok found it, it’s part of an ajax response to image uploads..
This is the line that triggers that error i believe.

if(!empty($uploaded_file['error'])) {echo 'Upload Error: ' . $uploaded_file['error']; }

/functions/admin-iterface.php – Line 658
Which is in turn triggered by this line.

$uploaded_file = wp_handle_upload($filename,$override);

As far as i can tell(at a guess), it’s a problem with permissions, like i said initially i think the problem is related to the creation or non-existence of the woo upload directory… let me install the theme and i’ll see what happens for me, one min…

Ok looks like it’s changed since i last saw a woo theme’s code, this new framework just uses your WordPress uploads directory.

In my case, uploading an image placed them into..
127.0.0.1/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/testimagefild.png

I can only guess, but i’d say the problem is with your uploads directory permissions, if one currently exists… or it could be a problem with where the upload path points to (Admin > Settings > Misc) ..

I’d guess that getting the uploads directory working (woo theme aside) would resolve the problem, since the theme framework (as far as i can tell) utilises whatever upload location you’ve already setup for WordPress (it doesn’t create it’s own, like i’d seen in their previous code).

P.S. It’s no trouble, takes me a few seconds to check..

Well i’m only making a best guess here, i can’t really say for sure, it’s one possible cause i suppose.

I’ve not used Woo Theme’s extensively myself so i can’t say i know a great deal of how the framework operates, i’ve simply given you my observations following the installation earlier, that’s a question best answered by the Woo peoples… 🙂

Test some images using the media library, or using the insert media button in a post, and see how that works out, you’ll at least know more specifically where the problem lies once you’ve done that .. (with uploads in general or just in the woo interface)..

It’s important uploads are working in WP, as functionality in the theme is dependant on that working.

It works here beautifully, so i can’t fault the theme myself, it works just as well as the standard media uploader, perhaps better.

What is your upload path set to, and do you have an uploads folder present? ..if so, what permissions are set on that directory?

Setting permissions:

If you are uploading through an FTP (for instance, I am using FileZilla), once you login you can see the directory for your website and there will be showing some columns which are:

– file/folder name
– size
– type
– last modified
– PERMISSIONS / ACCESS RIGHT

Right click on the last column, and you will be able to change the permissions. If the setting shows 755 it means something (which I forgot whether it is allowing access to write or the other way). As my best guess, you might have 777 which you have to change it into 755.

– I could be wrong, though, sorry –
