    hello,
    I can’t load a single image! it’s very frustrating, spent hours trying to solve the issue… not quite an expert :-S

    Warning: copy() [function.copy]: SAFE MODE Restriction in effect. The script whose uid is 637594 is not allowed to access …………………./htdocs/wp-content/uploads owned by uid 2001 in …………../htdocs/wp-admin/includes/file.php on line 348

    is it an issue that has to be solved through my webhost zymic.com?
    thanks!

    Yes… this is a PHP restriction. Your PHP install is running in safe mode and your account is trying to run a function is does not have access to run. You need to access the php.ini file to turn this off. If you don’t have access, your host will. Also, safe mode is depreciated as of PHP5.3.0… you should probably get them to upgrade your PHP version while you are at it.

    thank you very much for your advice,

    my host does not allow to edit the php.ini

    they told me:

    “you can load images you just need to chmod the wp-content directory to 77 and the uploads folder too inside the wp-content folder”

    “it works cause ive done it on a few wp sites on here”

    though I chmod every directory to 777 still doesn’t work… strange…

    There is a work around you can use.

    Open your FTP client
    Go to WordPress > wp-content
    Create a new folder called “myuploads” or whatever you like (it’s likely in wp-content there is already a folder called “uploads” but it doesn’t work for whatever reason)
    Go to you WP admin page
    Go to setting > media
    for the “Store uploads in this folder” option type in your new folder path (ex: wp-content/myuploads)

    I hope it works for you now. 🙂
