The uploaded file could not be moved to .

  • Please help, That is my current error message. — The uploaded file could not be moved to .–

    I am trying to upload an image file. I have been through several forums and documentation looking for help.

    I have changed permissions(CMOD) and changed file locations both multiple times in hopes of coming across something.

    I downloaded and installed WP yesterday.

    I thank you for any help you can give, or ideas to resolve this issue, thanx again.

  • This appears to be a re-accuring bug. I also get the same message. I have tried to reinstall. I have tried installing on a different server. In different directories. I have tried uploading to the root of the blog. I asked my host providers about Safe PHP.

    I’m getting nowhere. Any other ideas short of a different host? I am using Crystaltech on a windows machine.

    YIKES!

    Typical WordPress installs only need the wp-content/ directory to be 777 (so that WordPress can create the wp-contents/uploads folder). If you enabled Organize my uploads into month- and year-based folders then the subdirectories need to be checked as well (wp-content/uploads/2006/06 for example). If you are using the ImageManager plugin, you will need to check the permissions on wp-content/uploads/2006/06/.thumbs as well!

    Folders create fine. I just gives me that obscure message. Anyone want a crack at it? At this point I have nothing to loose. I will give you access to everything to prove me wrong.

    Thank you Yosemite!

    How many posts have I read regarding CHMOD for this error with no success. I went through two different FTP programs that appeared to be changing the permissions, but they were not.

    “The uploaded file could not be moved to .”

    If your site is managed by some type of control panel, check for a utility for setting the permissions from there. It appears, that the control panel system was overriding anything I was modifying from the FTP.

    BACK TO WORK! YES!

    Welcome!

    Thank you all for this information

    Changing the permissions to the upload folder to 777 using the file manager in the control panel of my ISP sorted the problem and saved me endless hours of fustration. It also enabled me to change the permissions of the theme template files so I could modify those.

    Thanks very much
