WP Says Image Uploaded, But Image is Broken/Not there in FTP

    I am having issues uploading images to my blog. Here’s what I do:

    -Upload the image (via the flash or web uploader, makes no difference)

    -The image appears as a question mark.

    -In FTP, I look in the place where it says the image is (wp-content/uploads) and the image is not there.

    Originally, I couldn’t even upload, which I fixed by changing some permissions and adding the /uploads directory.

    This is mostly a default installation, only thing I have modified is the theme, and I removed some “aria-required” tags in the comments.php for now until they become valid code. If it helps, here’s my blog: https://www.whywaitwebs.com/blog/

    Thanks for your help in advance.

    mercime- Thanks a ton for the link!

    iridiax- I have a different WordPress site setup on this same host which has no issues uploading images. There’s nothing in my .htaccess except what I was told by WP to put in it for permalinks.

    I have solved the problem with a LOT of help from various individuals! YAY! Thanks to everyone who offered their time to help me out!!

    Ok, so here’s the scoop: the current version of WordPress has a bug in it, a very easy to correct one. The default upload folder (in settings > misc) is set to wp-content, even though it says right on that page that the default is wp-content/uploads. I just changed it to wp-content/uploads and now everything is just peachy!

    Simple fix that makes me feel stupid for going through all this, but I’m just glad it’s working!!

    P.S. I do know it’s a WP bug, and not something I changed inadvertently, because as part of troubleshooting this I just downloaded a completely fresh copy and installed it, the issue is there as well! Hope the WP devs notice and fix this!

    Thanks again to everyone!

    Thanks to YOU for posting the solution. I was having the same problem. I agree that it’s a WP bug. I didn’t change any settings either. Until I made the change you suggested my images were not being uploaded at all. Yikes! Thanks again for your help!
