Images not uploading

If you want to run your own web site, you need to learn how to use tools such as FTP. This is not specific to WordPress. It’s pretty much the same for all web sites – static or dynamic and there is no way around it. I’ve already posted links a number of times to get you started on that path. If you cannot learn how to do this or you do not want to learn how to do it, your only other option is to consider hiring someone to sort out these issues for you.

In reviewing our posting stream, I have not seen where you have posted a single link. You also are not addressing my questions or to the information I gave you in response to your instructions. And, I run my own site quite successfully. This is a technical issue, not an operational issue. The media uploader has been fine for 2 years – for 2 days there’s a problem. I simply need WordPress to fix the problem. It is not an FTP problem, its a WordPress problem. Perhaps it is frustrating to work with someone whose expertise does not approach yours, but didn’t you become a Forum Moderator to help people?

I simply need WordPress to fix the problem

It’s not a core WP issue. It’s an issue that is specific to your site. And one of the first things that you need to do is to check to see if the images are actually being uploaded to the correct folder. This is basic troubleshooting – a process of elimination.

Media settings – they are being uploaded to wp-content/uploads folder – same as always. Once uploaded, the name of the image shows up and a URL is created that shows the location of the image in the folder. You suggested that I check the folder. My question again – how do I check the folder – I don’t see anywhere on the dashboard that allows me to actually open the folder.

At the risk of repeating myself yet again, using FTP or whatever file management application your host provides.

I published a new post . I was unable to upload a new image for the post NOR insert an existing image into the thumbnail. (Was able to insert an existing image into the body of the blog).

In an attempt to solve the problem, I copied the URLs generated when I upload images to my site. The big difference is that recent uploads DO NOT contain the year and month uploaded – but all prior ones do.

Examples – notice the year and date are present in all except the problem one:
