 * I’m trying to upload a file so I can add a link to the downloaded file in a post.
 * I clicked on the little “sunshine” icon (to “Add Media”) > browsed and found 
   the file, a PDF > and clicked upload.
 * After WP went through it’s thing I was given the error:
 * The uploaded file could not be moved to /home/pacificc/public_html/wordpress/
   wp-content/uploads/2008/07
 * Is this an issue for the support of our host?
 * Thanks for the help,
 * Mike

 * Some hosts the only way uploads will work is to chmod /wp-content and uploads/
   2008/07 also (each folder) to 777. Sometimes after the 1st upload you can chmod
   back to 755 and it will work…sometimes not.
