Laugh…I created an “images” folder in /wp-content/ and then went to Options–>Misc. to “allow file uploads” and dangit! It still doesn’t work. It still says it’s not writable.

Suggestions? Tips?

Thanks again. I know how to change permissions but I don’t think I know where my upload file lives. So, then I created one as you described and then set the correct permissions and the plugin still doesn’t work. I’m wondering if there is something about the plugin that I’m not understanding….like I have to name the upload file something very specific and put it in a special place on the server…?

Right now, I have an images folder with full permissions set up in my wp-content directory. Maybe it just doesn’t know where to find this file…?

I am lost.

That might be the problem…I don’t know exactly where my “upload” folder is (be kind, I’m new to this). I created a folder named “upload” with full permissions but it’s not working. Is there a simple way to find the upload folder? Or do I have to create it in a special place on the server?

Apologies if these are basic questions. I have really tried to figure this out on my own. ??

Ah thanks…I added this to my plugins and just now (hours later) realized it conflicted with another plugin (a stylesheet one). So, now it lists what images I could cache but when I click “Cache these images”, I get a message saying:

Your upload folder is not writable

How can I fix *this*? Is this more to do with my host or can I change privileges on my end?

Here is an example:
https://(leftblank).typepad.com/.shared/image.html?/photos/uncategorized/image.jpg
https://(leftblank).typepad.com/photos/uncategorized/image.jpg

So instead of linking to the images in my new URL,, they continue to link to the typepad.com info…

I don’t know if that helps or not.

Thanks again,
