Scroll about half way down and look for upload_path … (your browser can search for text on a page if necessary)..

Hello
I found my Upload_path under my admin options as you supplied in the above link and it says wp-content/uploads/ is this correct?

ok i found it and it reads wp-content/uploads is that correct if not not where do i go from here

Looks ok..

You need to start looking through your folders to see if an uploads folder has been created somewhere else (it could be in a folder above the wp-content folder, or even above root).

Once you know where it’s currently sitting it’s much easier to work out what “your” path needs to be…

Purely for example, but you might need a path like /home/www/wp-content/uploads/ (again that’s purely dependant on the server)..

It may be worth trying to vary the current path though to see if this helps…

wp-content/uploads
wp-content/uploads/
/wp-content/uploads
/wp-content/uploads/

You’d need to update the upload path, then test an upload after each change.

Failing all those, then the only way to figure out what path your server needs is to find where the folder is currently going… (mine ended up a level above the root folder initially). Once you know this, is pretty easy to fix the path.. (assuming the path is the crux of the problem of course)..

where do i vary these paths from ftp?

and now my wp-admin looks vare no colour or background njust text

Admin > Settings > Misc

Admin > Settings > Misc

still no luck

If you’re changing just the upload path, there’s no reason there should be any problem with your admin pages..

You didn’t change the blog url by mistake did you? … (i can help you fix that, if it’s the case)

RE: Uploads, if changing the URL doesn’t help, and you’re not sure if the folder is being created elsewhere, then there’s not much else i can do to help you root out that problem. I can’t teach you how to troubleshoot the issue .. all i can do is offer a best guess based on what you tell me..

Sorry for the double post before, forum issue earlier i think, couldn’t see either reply.

Oscar, I take it you’ve followed the instructions for this theme?

erm i just uploaded it but uve checked and that shouldnt be the problem is there and other web cms i could uses instead of wordpress atm because i need launch my site

Well, I emailed my coding guy and he said it definatley is a coding issue. I wish I could fix this myself, it will probably take weeks before he gets to it. Does anyone know how to get in or where to go for coding? and what to look for? I am reall getting frustrated with this wordpress stuff. My site is even going very slow. it sucks to upload photos on here anymore. dont know why…. should I leave wordpress and use another??
