Uh, my names not judy either…

Thanks for your reply!

Yes, the folder is world readable, but brand new images are not world readable *after* they are uploaded using the upload manager. This leads me to believe that the problem lies in the upload code in wordpress or some server misconfiguration. I can duplicate this error easily, and I’m still investigating the cause. I don’t think I made that clear in the previous post: apologies.

I understand the issue with old posts and moving the site. That’s not a problem at all. I will take care of redirecting all those links after I get new images uploading properly. However, I do not want to have to set perms EVERY time I upload a new image. That’s ridiculous =).

Thanks for the reply. I think the problem is slightly more complicated than that. Note that my WP install lives at /websiteroot/html. Here’s what I have done so far:

1) Reset the uploads folder to “uploads.” WordPress promptly created a new directory: /websiteroot/html/uploads.

2) I uploaded a test image, call it img1.png, and wp still gets the error with thumbnails. But, it does stick img1.png in the correct place, i.e. /websiteroot/html/uploads/…/img1.png.

3) I create a test post with that image linked to double check the URL. It turns out correct:

/websiteroot/html/uploads/…/img1.png.

4) Perplexed, I think to myself: could this be a permissions problem? Curious, I double check the perms on img1.png and it’s not world readable. So THATS why WP can’t see my images.

5) I added world readable to the image via an ftp client, and the image now shows up in both the uploads manager and on the website.

So, someone with more php and WP api experience than me tell me how to fix this =). Is it a simple edit in the .htaccess or something more complicated?

Thanks guys!
