Image uploads to folder that does not exist after moving blog to root directory

  • Hi

    I am having problems uploading images to my blog after I moved it from my test folder to root folder. Now whenever I upload an image the path of the upload is wp-content/uploads/2009/05/image.jpg which is usually correct. The problem is wordpress is not creating the new folder 05 so the image is not being recognised or uploaded to the directory. I am having to upload my images manually and then code the url path.

    Can anyone help me with this problem as it is becoming very frustrating with multiple users.

    Thanks in Advance
    M

    I’m having the same problem. I moved my wordpress installation from a subdirectory to my root directory without any problems. Then I moved it to a new subdirectory and now the image upload does not work. It’s creating the correct file path (e.g. wp-content/uploads/2010/02/image.jpg) but when I go to my file directory the folder is not there.

    I can create the folder manually and manually create the link in my posts, but it’s weird that it appears as though it is creating the image folder when it is actually not.

    usually you can chmod /wp-content and uploads folders to 777
    upload an image
    then chmod back to 755
    should be ok after that

    Thanks, I just tried that but it doesn’t seem to have worked. I changed permissions on the uploads folder and the wp-content folder to 777 and tried to use the image uploader and the file is not uploading. Any other ideas?

    I just figured it out. I checked the mysql database and found that the upload_path in table wp_options had the old file path. I just updated the file path and it works now.

    Hi. I have the same problem. Would you please tell me how to change the path in wp_options?
