Can not upload media

  • Hi there – In the past few months I have had trouble uploading media every now and then. It’s saying “The uploaded file could not be moved to wp-content/uploads”. Perhaps the folder is full (I have a 13,000 image images: HowHeAsked.com)?

    Can someone help?

  • Is there any error message in your PHP error log?

    Uploads should also typically be placed inside dated folders for WordPress. This means that when you upload a file it goes into the folder 2014 for the year, the date, etc. So you shouldn’t have 13k images in one folder if you’re uploading through the admin area.

    Some FTP programs will restrict a listing of all files to around 2,000, but there shouldn’t be a problem adding more images like that.

    I would check your PHP error log file to see if anything useful is there.

    Thanks John – not sure I know how to even check the PHP error log! Is there someone (you?) or a service I could use to help me on this?
