Posting images easily

  • I posted a thread yesterday but I don’t think it got a lot of attention because of its title, so I’m sharing this again as I think it could be really helpful to anyone wanting to post images on their WordPress blogs.

    Image hosting company that gets into WP and posts pictures extremely easily. Check out an example at my blog (still under tests)

    Yeah – Zoto is new, but already is quite customizable but VERY VERY easy to use. If you’re looking for an easy way to put pictures on your weblog, definitely give this one a try.

    How is this any different from activating file uploads, uploading the image to your server, and then copy/pasting the HTML that is given to you? No offense, but that sounds easier to me.

    Well it might be easier for people who can’t seem to activate their file uploads. I get this message:

    It doesn’t look like you can use the file upload feature at this time because the directory you have specified (/home/your/site/wordpress/images) doesn’t appear to be writable by WordPress. Check the permissions on the directory and for typos.

    I have checked the persmissions on the directory and have changed them to 755 and 766 etc. Still getting the error message.

    I checked the support and other people have posted this questions before.
    I don’t see any answers. Maybe you can provide one macmanx? ??

    Allow me ??

    2/3 of the way down that page.

    I did absoute path thing. I put the path exactly in the upload page of wordpress. I still get the same error message.

    I have tried this with both the wp-content and wp-images directories.

    I have checked the permissions on both they are at 755.

    Set the permissions of your upload directory to 777.

    btw the path given by the absolute path program was the same one I had in the first place.

    BINGO!!! Thanx Mac

    Results just to prove it works:

    I activated the Upload option and it seems to have a weird little bug. When it provides the html for the image sourcing, it puts “;/” in front of the addressing for the image location. This has to be deleted when the code is pasted into the post or WordPress cannot locate the image. I went into the options-misc.php file thinking it might be a problem in there, but could find nothing there that looked incorrect.

    Just to be clear, here is an example of the code provided (with no thumbnail selected):

    <img src=’;/wp-content/image.jpg’ alt=” />

    In order for wordpress to locate and post the image, it should read like this:

    <img src=’wp-content/image.jpg’ alt=” />

    Any thoughts on how to fix this? I have a good friend with a blog who is computer illiterate, and she is never going to be able to keep this straight.

    Thanks,
    Dean

    The ‘;’ is a bug from the early version of 1.5, suggest you upgrade to 1.5.1.3.
