    Hi there,

    I am having an issue with WP not being able to upload images from my desktop.

    I have read a few posts about this issue and I have tried everything they have suggested. I have created the “uploads”folder and set the permissions to 775 and also 777 but that did not work. I also tried setting the permissions on the wp-content, themes, mythemes, folders to 775 and 777 and that did not work. I was having trouble installing plugins but after I set the permissions on the plugins fold to 775 I was able to install plugins. I am currently working on three blogs and having the same problem on all three.

    Change the permissions on the wp-content directory to 766. If you still have problems, try 767 or 777. Once your uploads are working, change the permissions on wp-content back to 755 again and check that everything still works OK.

    also, check the path in Admin – Media

    Ok esmi & t-p,

    I reset the permissions to 767 and 777 but that did not work. I also checked the path to the uploads and that was correct.

    This is the error message I get after WP tries to upload the inages,

    The uploaded file could not be moved to /var/www/vhosts/bluestripecreative.com/httpdocs/wp-content/uploads.

    Any thoughts??????

    -look in
    admin – settings – miscellaneous
    and see what folder you have there

    -also, discuss the issue with your host?

    Hi t-p.

    Sorry for the delay in my response. I checked in Admin – Settings and there is no miscellaneous listed there.

    We host these blogs on our dedicated server at Hostway.
