Title: Problem uploading images Last modified: February 3, 2017 --- # Problem uploading images * [kayten1](https://wordpress.org/support/users/kayten1/) * (@kayten1) * [9 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/problem-uploading-images-32/) * I have a problem, maybe someone can help. I wrote a blog post yesterday and tried to upload an image. Nothing! No response at all. I also tried to edit the permalink for the page (the URL). Unable to do that either. I searched and found a couple of things that ‘should’ fix the situation. One was changing file permissions via FileZilla. That didn’t change anything. Another was … sorry, can’t even remember the other one. Anyway, it didn’t work. Decided to roll back to the previous version of WordPress since it seemed like that might well be the cause, so I reinstalled that. Again, nothing changed. I’m at a loss. Can’t move forward, can’t publish the post or post any others till I get this fixed. Can someone please advise what to do. Please? * I’m using Windows 10 and Google Chrome, if that’s relevant.

You should tell us about the theme and you should try with a different theme that you are using right now. * Thread Starter [kayten1](https://wordpress.org/support/users/kayten1/) * (@kayten1) * [9 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/problem-uploading-images-32/#post-8734015) * Thanks for the reply. I’ve just tried with Firefox, no different at all. The theme I’m using is a child theme of the Perkins theme. I’ve tried changing themes but every time I reach the live preview page there’s no actual preview, just a blank area. * [onursari](https://wordpress.org/support/users/onursari/) * (@onursari) * [9 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/problem-uploading-images-32/#post-8734148) * I have the same problem. I’m using wprobot to add posts to my websites. I tried changing the permissions to 777 and then 755 but it hasn’t fixed the problem. This problem started on January first. Also, my wordpress can’t update the plugins. As I see, the problem is on the months. When the new month comes, wordpress should create new directory named “02”. I will try to fix this issue because it is really annoying. If you can find a fix please let me know. * Thread Starter [kayten1](https://wordpress.org/support/users/kayten1/) * (@kayten1) * [9 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/problem-uploading-images-32/#post-8734301) * I don’t know much about this, but I’m looking at the uploads folder in FileZilla and there is only a folder called 2014, and it contains just one folder, named 01. * If there should be years and months I assume there should be a folder called 2015, one called 2016, and one called 2017 (none of these exists). * Fed up with problems like this cropping up from time to time. WordPress is an amazing way to publish a site or a blog but when problems arise it’s a nightmare. I have so much to do and I can’t do anything till I get this mess sorted out. * Actually, I only started this blog (truly-amazing.com) in 2015, so maybe there should only be folders called 2015, 2016, and 2017 … ? * I’ve just skipped through a few pages of my blog and all the images seem to be there just fine (thankfully). So they’re stored somewhere, I guess … though not in the uploads folder, as far as I can make out. * If anybody can reach out and help I’d be most grateful. * Thread Starter [kayten1](https://wordpress.org/support/users/kayten1/) * (@kayten1) * [9 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/problem-uploading-images-32/#post-8734409) * Okay, I’ve just checked in to CPanel in HostGator and I can see a different picture. * Under ‘Uploads’ in wp-content for truly-amazing.com I can see folders called 2015, 2016, and 2017. And they do indeed contain the image files. Don’t know why I’m not seeing this in FileZilla. * I was looking at the Uploads folder in wp-content (under public_html). * Regardless, whether I change the permissions it doesn’t make any difference. And thankfully I can still see the images on previously published pages, so that’s something. * But the problem persists: I can’t upload a single image … which makes it virtually impossible to publish a post (maybe publishing is screwed as well, haven’t tried that yet). If the images can’t be uploaded and the post URL can’t be edited, who knows what else is in a mess?? * Can someone please advise me how to fix this so I can get back to what’s important, publishing stuff on WordPress (instead of struggling to get WordPress working). * Thank you, I do appreciate people trying to help.
