"wordpress-content" not the same as "wp-content"

    I have a client whose wordpress site was installed using godaddy’s easy install.

    She hasn’t used it much, but now has tried to upload images in the admin area and is having trouble. She gets a message asking if the parent folder has the correct permissions. However, in that message it gives the directory as …wordpress-content… and when I look using ftp the directory is actually named …wp-content… which obviously would cause problems.

    Does anyone have any idea how I can remedy this?

    Thanks much for your help!

    Rename the directory? You can always put it back if it doesn’t work.

    I thought about that, but was a little concerned it might break some other functionality.

    I was able to get it to work by going to settings > media and changing the “Store uploads in this folder” field to “wp-content/uploads” which is the default. Godaddy had put something else in there.

    Perhaps this will help someone in the future.
