    Closing. Please see newly posted question (search for my name!)

    I am going to close out this thread, and repost parts of it as a new query.

    Because the original question was asked 4 months ago, perhaps someone missed my original and perhaps no one has understood my real question:
    ====>>
    I can no longer update parts of the website (plugins and themes).

    I have tried loading the wp-options.php file and changing file location names
    where it said path, and url-path. When I do this, I get the default ‘enter language’ startup for new installs.
    +++++++++++++> to me this means, that besides the wp-options.php file, there must be at least one other place(s) where the path is set incorrectly.

    ==========================< Is this question clear enough? or does it need to be restated? >———————–

    I am STILL having major problems in fixing my upload files.

    I tried loading the wp-options.php file and changing file location names
    where it said path, and url-path.

    Still getting errors and cant update anything.

    MY original question was based on a file not having access.

    Please help me by telling me what files I need to edit to make sure that
    * my default upload paths of …/wp-content/uploads will be taken as is.
    * my default url path of …/wp-content/uploads will also be clean.

    *** do I need to remove something from my config file?? ***

    No. THIS suggestion did not work. I have plenty of space. this error occurs on my host’s system, as well on my local (pc winampserver 3.2.3) copy of the system.

    sorry for the 4 month delay. Life unfortunately sometimes interfers.
    To the moderator: didn’t even remember posting, as I apparently didn’t get any messages before–sorry:

    I did find (and follow up with a new post (now closed) that I am re-posting it here.

    This IS a problem with the locations that WordPress is using.

    `===================
    WordPress Troubleshooting problem — more info. and less info:

    Summary (Details below)
    =======================
    Live web-site had errors in updating.

    several problems, mostly due to file permissions and directory errors

    ———-> bottom line question:

    Can someone help me find out where all of the file permissions and directories need to be updated on a site?

    I’ve found one php file in WordPress that seems to have the majority of answers.
    ==========================VVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVV==============================
    That would be by running the /wp-admin/options.php file and looking for ‘path’ and ‘url’ and updating manually.

    BUT..

    ——-> I believe I am missing one spot that has additional directory locations.

    ===========================> MY question #1 <————

    <blockquote>Can someone help me find out where all of the directories need to be updated on a site?</blockquote>

    I am trying to find out where I need to make changes to get working.
    —————-Details below———————–

    Original problem:
    after migrating from different host, (static) wordpress site was fine, and then developed a problem where couldn’t update a page, because couldn’t upload jpg. (Host found problem with permissions), didnt tell me where…

    system finally resolved by host company, after level 3 escalation.

    eventually new problem came up, and problem same as before, but couldn’t upload.

    I did a copy of the website down to my local pc winampserver. THAT means it’s not HOSTING related.
    And since it’s affecting all my themes and plug in’s it’s NOT a plugin/theme issue,thus my posting here

    I finally found a problem that the /wp-admin/options.php file had the following value:

    ON my LOCAl HOST: (file originally from live site)
    in options.php:
    fileupload_url = http://localhost/example/home/admin/domains/testing.installatron.com/public_html/djfkl/wp-content/uploads
    also in options.php
    upload_path = http:///example.com/public_html/wp-content/uploads

    In other words, in my production site, I found the path (from an installatron install) messing up with stuff

    where else besides wp-admin/options.php do I need to make directory changes in???

    thanks
    —————–end details————————-

    Better yet, what/where are the error logs, what level should I turn on, and what should I look for? still not running.
