Uploading Images

  • Hello,

    I am trying to upload an image into my blog post and when I press upload it states the following message

    The uploaded file could not be moved to /home/wightblg/public_html/wp-content/uploads/2010/06

    I have been using WordPress 2.9.1 for the last few months and have had no problems uploading images until now.

    Does anyone know how I fix this??

    Thanks

  • I had a somewhat similar issue with my new install of 3.0.

    What I did to fix mine was to “chmod -R 777 wp-content”, then upload an image and looked at the image to determine what user apache was running as. After noting the image file was owned by “nobody” and in group “nobody” I then did a “chgrp -R nobody wp-content” followed by a “chmod -R 775 wp-content”.

    After doing these steps my problem was then solved.

    Hope this helps.

    Thank you! How do I do a “chmod -R 777 wp-content”?

    It was run from the cmdline. If you do not have shell access on the server you might get your host support to assist or you can use some FTP programs to do it.

    Do you think if I download the 3.0 version of wordpress the problem might fix itself?
