No idea, sorry.
My host did contact me after I’d deleted everything and started again and said that the wrong user had permissions or something, and that they corrected it, but they also said I could access the permissions to do it myself.
Your problem sounds a little different, though. I wouldn’t know if its a WordPress problem or server problem. I’d be inclined to ask your server hosts anyway.
Sorry I can’t help – good luck, though!

Just thought I’d update..
Switched from Windows to Linus hosting. Uninstalled WordPress and reinstalled. Problem fixed. No idea what caused the problem. Since I had only just started setting up the website it wasnt too much of a set back to wipe it and start again.

By the way, I tried the function php file thing, but still no luck.

GoDaddy are going to transfer my account from Windows to Linux. Hopefully that will fix the problem.
I’ll mark this thread as resolved and move on with my life!

Another thing I noticed, is when I changed the permissions to 777 in FileZilla the log says
Response: 500 ‘SITE CHMOD 777 wp-content’: command not understood

I rolled back to WordPress 3.6.1, but STILL can’t upload images.
Waiting for a response from my host, GoDaddy.

I’m at the point where I want to dump my whole computer out my window.

Thank you so much to you both for trying to help… I’ll check with GoDaddy in the morning and will come back here to update.

Thanks.

There was old content, but I deleted it all from within WordPress and/or changed it when I transferred the hosting account to the new domain.

I can delete EVERYTHING via FileZilla if I have to and reinstall WordPress and start from scratch… but it would be good to find a solution so I don’t have to do this.

I’ll ask GoDaddy about the logo.. unfortunately they take forever to respond via email so I’ll have to call them, but its 1.30am here and I’m tearing my hair out and will likely shout at them, so I’d better sleep on it.

Yes. All of them.
The 2014 and the 01 folder that was inside the uploads folder was created by me when I was first trying to troubleshoot the problem.

No, its Windows based as I mentioned in my first post.
I opened up FileZilla and changed the permissions to 777 (and all the child files & folders) of the wo-content folder.

Yes, it was already there.
There are files in there from 2012 and 2013, because I’d previously had different content on this hosting account.
I can’t actually view any of that content through WordPress, though.

Ok, my ears mustn’t be working properly either.

This is not helpful.

Everything else in WordPress works, except uploading images. I need a solution, and I have absolutely no idea what more I can do!

The WordPress error says its a permissions error.. but I’ve set the permissions, and asked GoDaddy to set them, and I’m still getting the same error – therefore it is not unreasonable to say that perhaps WordPress is giving an incorrect error message.

I was able to upload images before I updated WordPress. How do I roll it back to the previous version? I’ll google that and try it.. if I can.

At the beginning of this post I said my website is hosted with GoDaddy.

My website is up, but there isn’t any content yet.

Its here: https://www.miriambailey.com

Its a website about art and I can’t upload any pictures of the art!

I had also previously asked my hosting company to reset the permissions, which they did, twice, but its still not helped. They suggested that WordPress has a bug, and the error is caused by something else.. but they have no idea or suggestion.

Thanks Jan, but its still not working.
I’ve set all the permissions with the File Manager of my hosting account, as well as via FileZilla.
Its still not working!
