Uploading Images in wp-admin Write Post Screen

    Very similar topics seem to come up regularly but none seem to answer my question.

    I’m logged in as admin, with full administrator rights.

    Within the “Write Posts” and “Write Pages” screens there is a section to upload files. I browse and select a file and then click the button to “upload.”

    I then get the ubiquitous error message:
    “This script was not meant to be called directly.”
    The wp-content/uploads directory exists and is chmod’d to 777 (shudder).

    From all I know this should work, but it doesn’t. What am I missing here?

    Thanks…

    What version of WordPress are you using? Any specific plugins that might be interupting something maybe? Are you sure you went through the threads from this search result? Just was wondering..

    >What version of WordPress are you using?
    2.04

    >Any specific plugins that might be interupting something maybe?
    tried it with no plugins running

    Yep… Yet to find anything there that works.

    Pardon me for sounding frustrated. Something I need does not work… can upload via ftp, but can’t expect other authors, most of whom will be marginally computer savvy IMO, to have that skill.

    In case anyone’s still reading this…

    I was able to write a simple perl script that could upload a file into the same directory as the WordPress is trying to access. inline-upload.php, accessed from the write post screen cannot do this. The rest of WordPress appears to function generally well.

    (There is another issue I have with custom user lists not working: one user list for multiple blogs… another problem no support solves for me… which I’ve stopped trying to solve for now)

    My preference would be to get WordPress to work properly. But I can’t keep futilely messing around with something that doesn’t work when a different solution that requried much less effort is presenting itself.

    Thanks.
