    Hi,

    Having read the forum for siiular problems, and removed all extra spaces the problem persists. Just moved the blog to a different host and can’t upload images in ‘write post’ page I get the following error:

    The uploaded file could not be moved to /home/living/public_html/wp-content/uploads/2007/12.
    Warning: Cannot modify header information – headers already sent by (output started at /home/living/public_html/wp-admin/admin-functions.php:1986) in /home/living/public_html/wp-includes/functions.php on line 1346

    Ive checked permissions ‘755’

    what can I do ?????? thanks in advance..

  • mountainjez,

    Hi. Have you tried setting the permissions of /home/living/public_html/wp-content/uploads/ to 777 ?

    For testing purposes, I changed the permissions on my upload folder to 755 and I got a similiar error to yours, when I changed them back to 777, I could upload succesfully.

    There may be more helpful clues here:
    Cannot upload pics even though permissions are 777

    Hope this helps,
    -Mike

    awesome, thanks !! a response in 21 mins, now thats service !!!

    Wanted to add my $0.02 worth on this issue.

    Could not upload image files, and no wordpress files had been changed during the time from before, when it worked properly, and after, when it would no longer upload, so there was no extra spaces issue as suggested (with enormous surety) in the FAQ. Yet, still I got the “uploaded file could not be moved to… Warning: Cannot modify header information – headers already sent by (output…” error.

    The permission settings were indeed set for 777 within wordpress, via FTP, and via the cpanel interface.

    However, something on the web host caused the directories to act as though the permissions were set differently.

    So, before trying anything else, I suggest entering cpanel (or you may have vdeck on your web host, or something similar), and go to the File Manager (or the equivalent on your web host). Set the permissions on the …wp-content/uploads folder to 777 (again).

    That may clear the error on the web host, and the error should disappear. Very frustrating when errors appear through no fault of your own. Also frustrating when dozens and dozens of forum postings are left unanswered or left with misleading information because the the issue “has already been answered” yet nowhere is a conclusive, summing-up statement made.

    I suggest the something similar to the above solution be added to the wordpress troubleshooting FAQ: https://codex.www.ads-software.com/FAQ_Troubleshooting#How_do_I_solve_the_Headers_already_sent_warning_problem .

    Thanks mfields! I’ve just get this error and now it fixed.

    I finally got this problem solved myself due to websta’s older post above. I’m with Phoenix based Crystaltech(.com) hosting; on a Windows Shared and simply navigated to my webcontrolcenter (cpanel) and located my ‘file permissions’ setting the wanted fparent folders to ‘write’ and things worked fine… You can not change the permissions in FTP agaent or other means only through their controlpanel. Hope that helps other crystaltech.com hosted site.
