Can't upload images

  • I upgraded WP to version 3.3.1 and now I can’t upload images anymore. This is what I get:

    Warning: touch() [function.touch]: SAFE MODE Restriction in effect. The script whose uid is 1027 is not allowed to access /tmp owned by uid 0 in /home/homepage/public_html/wp-admin/includes/file.php on line 177
    Dismiss“20111224.jpg” has failed to upload due to an error
    The uploaded file could not be moved to /home/homepage/public_html/wp-content/uploads/2012/02.

    I am not allowed to take SAFE MODE off.
    /wp-content/uploads/ folder and subfolders have 777 rights.
    Any suggestions?

  • “is not allowed to access” somethings up with ur permissions :/

    Contact your host. Maybe an ownership problem. /tmp owned by uid 0 says the temp directory is owned by root.

    “Contact your host. Maybe an ownership problem. /tmp owned by uid 0 says the temp directory is owned by root.”

    Host is me ?? In previous WordPress version 3.1.x I hadn’t this problem. It all started after updating to the latest version 3.3.1. I don’t know where to change what…

    I don’t know a lot about servers but your server is set for the directories to be owned by apache, or root, etc. while wp needs them to be owned by you.

    Maybe it is the safe mode setting.

    Guntis, I just ran into this same problem. Here was the solution I found:

    Create a fold in your WordPress directory (I created one named “temp”), then edit your wp-config.php and add a line like this to the bottom:

    define( ‘WP_TEMP_DIR’, ‘/home/directory/user/public_html/temp’ );

    it needs to be the full path to your temp dir.

    This fixed it for me.

    @ layotte

    Did you name it temp.php or temp.txt or just temp?

    Thanks, trying this solution. So far no joy
