Problem resolved……wp dashboard-miscellaneous file….removing the / in front of wp-content/uploads, and unchecking organize files by month/year.
Here is the message received when trying to upload pics or any media……(Unable to create directory /wp-content/uploads/2009/10. Is its parent directory writable by the server?)
Nothing has worked so far….thanks to everyone who has commented!
Upload path in Miscellanous directory – /wp-content/uploads….is this correct?
Thanks guys for your input, but none of these options have worked so far.
