The uploaded file could not be moved to wp-content.

  • Hello,

    As of last night (6/26) I can not upload any images to any galleries anywhere in my PP4/WP site. Not to galleries within pages, on the main post page, directly to the media library, etc. I get this same message with every single attempt: The uploaded file could not be moved to wp-content/uploads/2013/06.
    I have researched your other threads, and others are having this problem too. I tried changing permissions and that did not work. I called my host, godaddy, and they troubleshot for over an hour, on two separate phone calls. They looked into permissions issues as well and said it wasnt an issue there. They say the problem is in WP. I feel like i’ve exhausted all options, so looking for what I can do next. Please help!

    Thank You! ??

    This was the next email…
    Now when I upload images, they don’t display in the admin area, but they do display in the post when viewing it. This confirms that there is something wrong with the internal WordPress configuration. “There are files that are not being found that are required.

    I set the permalink structure to default for now. You might mention to GoDaddy about the permalink structure as well. What is actually happening is that whatever I put in the htaccess file is getting automatically stripped out. What needs to be in there is this.

    # BEGIN WordPress
    <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteBase /
    RewriteRule ^index\.php$ – [L]
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
    RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
    </IfModule>
    # END WordPress

    But it all gets stripped out so that pretty permalinks don’t work.

    Called godaddy back and relyaed that info, This is what he said after he ran some tests: Went over every possible restriction on the server and there’s nothing that should be inhibiting images from being uploaded.

    UGHHH!!! What do I do?!

    I know this is an older post but this is an issue that I had in the past

    When your site was setup, how are they running PHP? As an Apache Module, FastCGI application or CGI application?

    You can have permissions set to 777 but if it’s run as an apache module you won’t be able to do anything. FastCGI you will be able to.

    On my server there’s an option for how you want it to handle PHP and you select one. Don’t know if that helps you at this point but maybe it helps someone else searching.

    hi there,
    I wanted to ask if your problem was solved.
    I’m new to wordpress and I actually have the same problem after I migrated from localhost to the actual online website..
    I’ve posted a new thread some days ago and noone seems to answer and when I’m repeating my question I get my messages deleted..

    Please let me know if you managed to solve this and how..

    thank you

    Go to your FTP -> wp/content/uploads -> Right click – select File permissions -> value :- 777

    I am completely new to WordPress and haven’t done much web design. The website was handled by someone else previously but she is now to busy to do so. I have been able to do most things, but no matter what I try or suggestion I follow, or program I download, I cannot upload media (pictures) to my pages or site. I get the same error I’ve seen in most of these posts which is:

    The uploaded file could not be moved to wp-content/uploads.

    Please help!!!!
    The site is https://www.outsellingathens.com.

    Try changing the permissions on the wp-content directory to 766. If you still have problems, try 767, 775 or 777. Once your uploads are working, change the permissions on wp-content back to 755 again and check that everything still works OK.

    I am now closing this 10 month old topic. If you require any further assistance, please post your own topic.
