Is there an upper limit to the number of photos that can be uploaded to a site?

    My subject line pretty much says it all — my sweetheart reached what appears to be an upper limit on the number of photos she can upload to her (very extensive, lots of photos) site. After that limit is reached, the uploads continue just fine. But the thumbnail doesn’t appear, instead the number “7” appears in each subsequent thumbnail location. And of course the pictures don’t appear in the gallery.

    I’m just wondering if we’ve bumped into a limit of some sort. I checked the number of files in the wp-content/uploads directory and it doesn’t seem all that big — around 3356 files.

    Just a head-scratcher. I can always teach her FTP and let her manually upload the files. But the gallery stuff sure is handy. Any thoughts?

    Answering my own post — just noticed that I never followed up.

    Solution in my case was to remove a file-space allocation limit on the server. Windows 2003 has a system which limits the amount of file-space a given user can use. I didn’t know about this, so when WordPress hit that limit, this was the error message it generated. It’s not a WordPress error, it’s caused at the server end.
