well looks like the permissions were wrong through an update of the hosting provider.

this is settled now….but it didn’t solve the problem.

Thx!

It shows my website name and then wp-content / upload / 2016 / 01 and then the name of the picture.

I checked on a pic that is uploaded successfully in the past and it is the same (but of course with 2015) I have not uploaded anything in 2016 yet. Could it be a problem with the year? I mean the folder 2016

Hey guys, can anyone help me to explain how to check if the media path is properly configured? I need some “beginners” instructions where to find it and how should it look like to be right. Appreciate your help so much!!!

I changed to a different theme and this also doesn’t work so it is not the theme, not the plugins, etc.

Thanks a lot.

But how? Can you give me a hint where to check that and how it should look like (sorry, I am not really good with programming, so far only using the normal wp menu).

Anyway, can it be damaged without me doing anything?

I did the first 2, yes.

anything like FTP, PhPMyAdmin, etc. are too much for me, i have no idea about that stuff ??

just found this:
https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/http-error-on-media-upload-wp-39?replies=16

not exactly same issue, but do you think that plugin could solve it in my case as well?!

i can work with plugins or anything I can do in the backend, but there is my limit already.

unfortunately

yeah ok…anyone an idea what i can try next ??

I asked my friend where she got the info from that there is a bug in WP. She refers to this link:

Hi there,

Thanks for the advise. I still have 0.5 GB space. Just checked with my hoster.

Regarding folder permissions. I dont do anything at my FTP as I am a total IT nerd. There can′t be anything wrong, as I don′t touch it at all.

I just use the WP backend to publish articles, thats it :/

Guys please help me, I can′t blog anymore ??

So, if everything was deactivated it is obviously WP itself isn’t it? What can I do?

Ok, I deactivated all plugins and the theme and it still doesn’t work.

The info about the bug is from a friend who googled my problem, she read it somewhere.

Hi jnhghy,

Thanks a lot. Before I do all of this, I just got an info that there is a bug at WP 3.9 that causes this issues with the media upload. Is that true? Anyone heard about that?

How can I solve that, if it is a WP problem?

What? no, sorry. I have no idea about programming. thats why I use plugins, I ′d never touch the theme files.

How can I do that in a way, that I don′t risk to damage anything with my page?

Hi Samuel,

I researched a bit and without programming skills I am not keen to touch my php files. I saw some posts of guys who followed those instructions and lost their images even from the library.

Isn’t there a safer way doing that? I am wondering if its not even possible to change your plugin into one that can remove the featured pic and replace it with the first pic of the article (sorry if that is a stupid question, but that just pops up in my mind, as a total IT amateur). I think that would be a great plugin as well.

Oh no ?? so i can′t make it unhappen?
Does that even work without programming skills? I only find tutorials how to add featured pics, not how to remove.

Wow, cool. That was fast, thanks!

I updated. Anything else I have to do? The pics didn’t change yet.
