In reply to: Images and media not as per instructions – will not display!That might explain it. I have successfully uploaded by ftp, and the image is now inserted, but I don’t really want to have to do that every time.
Thanks for your help so far. 🙂
Now I want to find some simple way of resizing images without having to do mental arithmetic to keep the aspect ratio…

Aargh!

In reply to: Images and media not as per instructions – will not display!By the way, I have now created an uploads directory (with permission 755) in wp-content, but that has not changed anything.

In reply to: Images and media not as per instructions – will not display!I have set index.php to 666. I have attempted to upload an image via the browser. The URL bar just gives me:
http://www.chrisyoung.org.uk/wp-admin/media-upload.php?inline=&upload-page-form=
and displays a blank page, doing nothing.
When I go back and view my media, the uploaded file is listed, but still with no thumbnail.What do I have to do?

In reply to: Images and media not as per instructions – will not display!I’m sorry. This is just completely barmy. I installed WordPress with default settings. WHY doesn’t it just work? I seriously don’t have the time to train myself up in every minute aspect of web networking. I just want to get my pictures online. It should be relatively simple. I would have been quicker doing it all in HTML myself. What is up with WordPress that it is so clunky?
Thanks for your links, iridiax. I will have to try using ftp and see what happens. But failure is in danger of pushing me over the edge and leading me to destroy my laptop out of sheer frustration.

In reply to: Images and media not as per instructions – will not display!Thanks. I have read your post about permissions and I don’t understand it, I’m afraid. Too technical.
The flash and browser uploads both seem to upload the images successfully. But no thumbnail is created; same with the ftp. The replacement text is displayed rather than the image. The link says that no image is found in the directory.
