I fixed it! I narrowed down the problem to the folder. So I created a new folder called images in wp-content/uploads and directed the media uploads there – and it worked! Hope this helps save someone else 6 hours of frustration!

Update – figured out how to change the permissions and checked all acces for all users. Any other ideas? I can pay for support if someone is a consultant and can fix this. Thank you.

I am having similar problems – if you cannot provide a fix I will pay someone to help me – using 2.9.2 with the painter theme I can upload and see photos fine when they are loaded via DW FTP and inserted in a Post – or when I insert in a post via URL or link – but not when I upload via WP. The images are there but with a red x on a white outline of the image. When I go to edit the image I can see it but then when I save it it has the red x in the Media file and in the post.

Thank you very much for your help – If you need to provide paid consulting let me know and I will provide my e-mail address. Thank you.
