They (GoDaddy) said I could add images to the FTP, so I did it as a workaround. But now you are telling me that’s not possible. So all day long, I haven’t been able to upload images through WordPress. My site is therolesheet.com. No images in my last three posts as of 6:00 PST on Tuesday.

This is now the worst blog service I have ever used. Normal things like uploading photos should be simple. This is ridiculous.

Sorry AGAIN that I am frustrated. But this blog is my baby, and if it’s not working for BASIC functions, then how would you feel?

STILL NOT UPLOADING IMAGES. I called the host, we uploaded on the image onto the FTP site. We did all the workarounds. My WordPress blog is STILL not uploading images. I can’t proceed with my blog without it. I don’t know what to do. This is absolutely ridiculous. This doesn’t happen to anyone else.

You are 100% right, and I apologize. I’ve just been frustrated, and I took it out on everyone here. I was wrong to do that, so please forgive…I’ve calmed down now and am completely aware that I need to do some of this work myself. Thank you for the measured and helpful response.

Thank you all. That’s exactly the problem…it simply goes down for hours at a time. Then it works. No reason, no warning. And I’m just doing the basics — what any blogger does. It works much of the time, so I know I’m doing it right. I simply upload an image from my computer, and it then says FAILED TO WRITE or whatever.

Let’s consider it closed for now, as it is working. But the issue is that it simply goes down much of the time for many consecutive hours. And as for code or tech, etc…I’m sorry, but I often find — as helpful as this forum is — many times, the answers are too difficult for people to understand who are non-tech people. And since WORDPRESS is a basic blog platform, things shouldn’t be that difficult, in my opinion. I understand where the help is coming from, so I get it…but it’s frustrating to people who don’t know code. Nothing personal…I was just frustrated today.

Thank you both again. Much appreciated. I hope my feedback is helpful.

Esmi – I’m sorry to chime in here, but that’s a rude answer. This person – like me – probably doesn’t know how blogs work from a tech perspective. Maybe he/she, like me, is a writer or an editor. Not a code person. So your answer and flip remarks about “we’re not psychic” is just rude. It’s simple — I can’t upload images either. How does that happen with a major blog platform? It’s insane that it happens at all. I’ve worked for many newspapers in their digital units, and that NEVER happened. So why does it happen here so often? So even though it’s not a “WordPress” issue, it really is…because you guys are the ones we’re using.

Thank you both for everything. I’m grateful for the help, HallMarc…and I’m grateful for your protection, esmi.

Turns out it’s now working, so I’ll assume it was juts a bad day with technology.

And I appreciate both of you very much.

Hi. the website is: therolesheet.com. The problem started today. I called godaddy (host), and all is fine on their end. Also, nothing changed before the problem began. I did what I always do. If an image is in my library already, no problem…but any new post…no luck. It just stopped allowing me to upload any images to anything new.
