Image uploads not working

    Im having an issue with images that i upload and attach to posts not appearing.

    The only thing that has changed with my site has been that my web host changed my FTP passwords. I couldnt find a place in wordpress to update that info, but the files are actually being uploaded, the problem seems to be in viewing them. I can go to my ftp site and download and view them, they are complete files; however, when i visit their links i get an access forbidden error. And if i re-write over the FTP files i still get errors. Same with if i try to upload to another folder on the FTP.

    (ex: https://www.johnkanesmith.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/tomato-billboard2.jpg)

    Im hoping this is a permissions thing i overlooked. Can someone help me?

  • Hi,

    Check with these options:

    – Assign 755 recursive permissions to wp-content folder with the help of your web hosting service provider.
    – Add this code in htaccess of your blog/site:

    <IfModule mod_security.c>
SecFilterEngine Off
SecFilterScanPOST Off
</IfModule>

    Thanks,

    Shane G.

    great… i worked so hard to get things the way i wanted them. dont wanna mess with anything and chance screwing something up.

    what could have caused this? was it the web host? if so i have a bone to pick with them…

    i may just have to host the images in another file, manually, and insert them by their url’s.

    I’d ask your host to reset the folder permissions for you as they seem to have caused this in the first place. Ask them to change the permissions on the wp-content directory to 766 initially. If you still have problems, they’ll need to try 767 or 777. Once your uploads are working, they can then change the permissions on wp-content back to 755 again and you can check that everything still works OK.
