uploading

  • Okay, so I’m new to WordPress, and in fact, new to anything about web-design. Given that I have no clue what I’m doing… How do I upload a picture and post it on one of my webpages?

    Answered my own question- but now, what kind’s of files can I upload? bmp (paint) wasn’t accepted.

    Paint should let you save it as a jpg. Not sure what the official is on what formats it takes but I think you should be safe with jpg or gif, since they’re standards.

    We just tried that today, and we can get it to go to the directory, but then can’t post it on the page. How would I do this?

    After it’s uploaded, click it.

    You get a menu chock full of toggles.

    I’m getting a the following writing permission error when trying to upload PDF files through the editor:

    Unable to create directory /home/portland/public_html/wp-content/uploads/2006/10. Is its parent directory writable by the server?

    I have set CHMOD permissions from public_html down to 775. I don’t have access to the home or portland directories. Am I screwed? I use 2.0.4. Thanks.

    Yikes! I don’t think you’re supposed to reset the public_html permissions. You’re supposed to change the chmod of wp-content folder to 777, instead.

    See here.
