Picture Won’t Upload – Help!

  • Whenever I try to upload a picture from my computer to my post I get an HTTP error, and have to Dismiss it.

    Must I have a URL attached to a picture in order to post a picture in a post? What sense is there in offering the option to upload from your computer if that is the case?

    Also, when I click on the insert image icon for the editor I am not given an option to upload a picture from my computer. What’s going on here???

  • No help here, but I am having the same problem. I also could not upload images in version 2.5 and now I am using 2.5.1 and still having troubles. Any suggestions?

    Same problem happens to me… every time I tried to use the Media Manager to insert a picture to my post, I chose to upload from my computer, but always give me this message: “Unable to create directory. Is its parent directory writable by the server?” no idea what it means. please help!

    I’m not a WordPress expert but will share my own experiences: I had a problem with pictures not uploading too. One of the problems that I had was uploading pictures with spaces in between, such as “john aberle at park.jpg” – I had to rename it “john_aberle-at_park.jpg” to get WordPress to recognize it.

    As my site is on Yahoo! Small Business Web Hosting and I’m on WordPress version 2.6, I don’t know if the rest of this works exactly the same for you, but here’s what I do.

    I go to Write then to Post. On the Write Post page for creating a new post, in the Post section where you write your article, between the word Post and the Visual / HTML tabs is “Add Media” followed by several icons. The first one is the “Add an Image” icon for adding a picture.

    When I click on that, it takes me to a page that offers two choices: “From Computer” and “From URL.” Even though I had already uploaded the image into my blog’s …/wp-admin/images folder, I found it easier to use From Computer where I used the

      Browser uploader

    to select the picture again from off my hard drive.

    If you need more help than that, you might want to contact Cathy Perkins, the WordPress Wizard at https://tinyurl.com/d8vjm4, as she can help you get a picture into your sidebar using a Text Widget.
