[http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/custom-field-images/](http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/custom-field-images/) - indicate it is compatible up to 2.8.5. - Most likely a permission issue here we are looking at…you are right, set chmod 777 on the uploads folder(wp-content/uploads)..if u are using FTP like Filezilla, u may choose to set 777 to recurse into all folder and files…. - That may help to fix the issue…if issue persists, try to disable ALL plugins and left custom field image remain activated… - If issue does not persists, it could be one of the added plugin may conflict to custom field image… - That would be plugin isolation..as i do come across lots of issue like this is that may due to plugin conflict or theme compatibility… Viewing 15 replies - 1 through 15 (of 28 total) 1 [2](https://wordpress.org/support/users/simonlim88/replies/page/2/?output_format=md) [→](https://wordpress.org/support/users/simonlim88/replies/page/2/?output_format=md)
