Same error. You need access to your hosted account or use ftp to check/change permissions. If you don’t have the log in information for the host you will have to contact who does.
I don’t think you can go back without the above either. 3.7 would be here, http://wordpress.org/download/release-archive/

Okay super – thanks for your help. I will contact and see if they can fix. Cheers for your help.
I just had the same/similar/related problem. I skipped 3.7 and updated to 3.7.1 directly. Image uploads were broken due to wrong permissions (0600).
It seems that WP 3.7 still chooses to inherit file permissions from the permissions of the directory (BTW, I strongly disagree with this approach).
My WP is set to upload into wp-content/uploads/YYYY/MM, that’s …/2013/11 for now. Yesterday, directory “11” was freshly created with permisssions 0700 even though “2013” is 0755. Hence, all uploads ended up as 0600 and were unreadable on the web. Changing permissions of “11” to 0755 fixed it for new uploads.
However, it seems there’s once again a bug in handling permissions :/
I’m getting the same problem as wewie and schamane. I tried all the suggestions in the list.
I get the same error as schamane above. Any image uploaded after the 3.7.1 update doesn’t appear in the WordPress dashboard (only after clicking the image in Media Library and then Edit Image can I see the image.
I tried changing the permissions as schamane suggested and that worked, though I’m concerned about the safety of this.
My website is http://www.willbeck.com/ and the test post is from after the update.
@willartist: By setting permissions of directory “11” to 0755 you make it world-readable. That’s relatively safe because basically you want the uploads to be readable.
However, it might make the directory index/listing and otherwise “hidden” (unpublished) uploads visible, too. On your blog that is the case, see http://www.willbeck.com/artblog/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/ but it is also the case for older directories.
To disable directory indices see e.g. http://wiki.apache.org/httpd/DirectoryListings or simply create an empty file index.htm(l) in the directory.
Thanks very much shamane.
I have hidden the files as you suggested.
I’m having the same problem. Just installed 3.7.1 today. no images work, I updated the permissions, went through the list.

@kiraslyeg: As per the Forum Welcome, please post your own topic.
I suspect I am being supremely thick, but I can’t see where to post a new topic. Please don’t shout!
I seem to be experiencing the same issues as the folk above, and having read the thread above… well to state that I am confused would be an understatement.

Any and all help greatly appreciated
