Please start your own thread. It is considered bad form to jump into someone else’s.

@ jennifer_ellinger

thanks for “jumping my thread” I too need basic help……can you walk me through how to delete the wp-includes etc. in a little more detail?

i normlly just auto update

so how do i delete the wp-includes and wp-admin folders and replace them with a fresh, unzipped copy, and not lose any data on my web page? can you walk me through how to delete the wp-includes etc. in a little more detail?

You use FTP or the cPanel file manager on your host. If these are not familiar tools I recommend getting a programmer or IT support person to give you a hand.

The wp-admin and wp-includes folders do not contain data, they contain program code. The data is in the database, the wp-contents folder, and the wp-config.php file. Do NOT delete any of these.

so i deleted the wp-includes and wp-admin folders and replace them with a fresh, unzipped copy…….. and still the same error message when i try to upload images. ??

Now that you’ve ensured that the code is correct, its time to return to the original problem. The first error message that copy encountered a “Permission denied” error is the interesting one. The second error is just a side effect of the first.

What the first error says is that your server is unable to execute the line
copy( $tmp_file, $new_file );
the variable $new_file contains your destination file name /var/www/vhosts/rushfm.co.nz/httpdocs/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/rome-vegestall.jpg. This indicates that the server can’t write to the uploads directory.

Check the permissions on the uploads directory and its sub-directories.

I contacted my server and they reset the permissions ….. and now it works ??
