But the file NEVER uploads to the upload directory * No error messages are generated that I can find. * I go to Manage Uploads and there is a box for the file but no file … nor is there a file in the /wp-content/uploads directory. * I have confirmed through PHPINFO that uploads are enabled and that permissions are set correctly * I am at the end of my rope with this does anyone have any ideas * BTW … * Server info Apache2 PHP latest and greatest GD latest Viewing 8 replies - 1 through 8 (of 8 total) * Thread Starter [daveb93](https://wordpress.org/support/users/daveb93/) * (@daveb93) * [18 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/the-file-upload-issue/#post-719134) * just as a follow up * No actual url for the file is ever created * [capnbecki](https://wordpress.org/support/users/capnbecki/) * (@capnbecki) * [18 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/the-file-upload-issue/#post-719284) * I’m having this same issue – I thought it was the size of the file, but I can upload it through Fetch.
