had to reset the default upload location and recheck the option to organize the uploads by year/month
I’ve also got my .htaccess file setup in wp-admin with:
<IfModule mod_security.c>
<Files async-upload.php>
SecFilterEngine Off
SecFilterScanPOST Off
</Files>
</IfModule>
there are no quotes when I test, I added the quotes so you’d understand the exact phrase that is causing the problem. still not clear on your solution.
