Thank you for your replies! Right before the error I approved a comment. I emailed the web host. I don’t know much about mysql and am afraid to mess much with the tables. I found the control panel and did a “check table” on wp_post which gave the result “ok”. From reading other threads I saw a recommendation to clear the cache, and I found “flush” but it says I need “reload” privileges, which is what I am currently trying to figure out…

Yes – there is a file index.html in the root. I don’t know where it came from. The root directory on my site has a generic placeholder from the hosting company. I will delete that and see if it works. That makes perfect sense – I’ll let you know!

Thank you it seems to all be working. I was using Ipswitch FTP which does not allow you to view hidden files so I couldn’t change the permissions. I downloaded Filezilla that I saw recommended on this site and changed the permissions using that. Then when I changed the permalink settings for my blog it wrote the necessary to code to the file. Easy as pie – thank you!

Thank you, it seems to be working fine now.

I checked them all and do not find that anywhere.

How strange. Do you think this is related to the theme or the original intallation? I can try another theme, although I’d really like to use this one. Thanks again.

Hello. When I set up the path I did not make any changes from what WP recommended. I used the full path in the code within my post as well. The “http://” was already in the img quicktag pop up so I didn’t remove it. But everything else is exactly as it appears in the upload settings.

That is excellent information. Thank you very much. I have another question perhaps you can answer? Is there a straightforward way to include a photo in a post? Do I use FTP or a plug in? Thanks again,
