FYI… version 2.6 corrects the problem.

Check to see if it uploaded the file to wp-admin/wp-content/uploads rather than wp-content/uploads.

If so, you’re another person who is experiencing the same bug I’ve described here. Unfortunately, I don’t have a fix.

I’m still having the same problem. When I try the image upload, it creates the js_cache directory in the correct location, but the wp-content/uploads/2008/05 path is created in wp-admin.

I’ve got the same settings in wp_options that you do.

I don’t think the 775 permissions (‘drwxrwxr-x’) on the folders make a difference; I’ve tried permissions both ways with the same results.

No biggie. It’s just better for everyone if threads focus on specific issues.

Anyone have any other ideas in regard to my original problem of photo uploads working, but sending files to the wrong path (wp-admin/wp-content/uploads rather than wp-content/uploads)? I really just don’t understand how a completely clean installation of wordpress using all the default settings can have problems like this. I’ve tried the no flash photo uploader and the flexible upload plugin as workarounds… all with the same results. Same results with IE7 and Firefox running on either Vista or XP.

This definitely seems like either a server-side issue or something in the code, but I’m completely out of ideas as to what else to try.

Any thoughts?

So odds are it’s not the webhost, unless there’s something different about the server my site is hosted on and the server your friend’s is on (an unlikely thing, for sure).

This is so strange.

I appreciate your help, MichaelH.

Okay, that’s REALLY weird. A clean install using 2.5.1 (with no options changed at all from the default installation) is behaving exactly the same.

Could this be something caused by my webhost?

I think I’ll test a completely new installation and see if I can get it to work with my host. I can’t imagine that the host is the issue, but I could rule it out if I can get a clean installation to work.

Nothing weird… just the website URL, which has been the same for over 2 years now.

No, it’s blank. Should it contain something?

I don’t think there’s anything out of the ordinary in the .htaccess file, but here it is just in case.

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

# END WordPress

Any other ideas?

capples3…

Seems you have bigger issues with your site than just image uploads (the topic of this thread).

I don’t mean to sound harsh, but crossposting your issue in an unrelated thread isn’t exactly proper forum etiquette.

I just double-checked it… it’s set to “wp-content/uploads”, as it should be.

Is this something my .htaccess file could affect?

I still haven’t had any luck correcting this. Looks like it’s not a uniform problem across sites with different webhosts, though. My network solutions sites all have the problem, but not those I host through netfirms. I can’t see how this would be part of the problem, but maybe that’s just my ignorance.

I tried reinstalling all files for a site (without a completely new database installation), but that didn’t seem to help. Makes me wonder if there’s a setting in the database that’s not right somehow?

Anyone have thoughts on this?

I hate to bump the thread, but is anyone else having this issue? Is there a fix?
