 * try uploading a single image via the media library
    – then try again. If that
   doesn’t fix it speak to your web host.

 * Hmm. I get the same errors in the media library and it won’t let me delete anything
   that’s already there :/ Is this purely a webhosting issue?

 * sort of, you need to change the permissions on the wp-content and uploads directories.

 * The permissions are writable. I couldn’t find my uploads folder… I think it’s
   supposed to be /wp-content/uploads. I added one but still the same errors.

 * Yep both are 777 and I get the same errors 🙁 WordPress won’t even let me log
   in with eshop enabled. I think I need to find a new host, nearlyfreespeech.net
   makes you pay for help!

 * Is it possible you changed you madia directory from
 * wp-content/uploads
 * to
 * /wp-content/uploads
 * **/** can make a huge difference.
