The uploaded file could not be moved to wp-content.

  • Hello,

    As of last night (6/26) I can not upload any images to any galleries anywhere in my PP4/WP site. Not to galleries within pages, on the main post page, directly to the media library, etc. I get this same message with every single attempt: The uploaded file could not be moved to wp-content/uploads/2013/06.
    I have researched your other threads, and others are having this problem too. I tried changing permissions and that did not work. I called my host, godaddy, and they troubleshot for over an hour, on two separate phone calls. They looked into permissions issues as well and said it wasnt an issue there. They say the problem is in WP. I feel like i’ve exhausted all options, so looking for what I can do next. Please help!

    Thank You! ??

    WPyogi, dang….thats what godaddy told me to do ?? Boo. How else do I deal with the space issue? Should I approach that before switching themes. I’m not worried about activating the default, but I’m terrified of not being able to get my customized PP4 theme back :/

    Already tried changing the permissions :/ Didn’t do anything.

    I reiterated to godaddy that suggestion and they said it for sure wasnt a permissions issue.

    I’m terrified of not being able to get my customized PP4 theme back

    Any theme options should be saved in your database. As long as you don’t over-write the theme’s folder inside wp-content/themes or you retain a backup copy, you will be fine. I switch themes about a dozen times a day. ??

    Ok! I feel better about that then. I’ll just ask you again if I get stuck on that part. My backup is just at 79% and stuck there. I do have it send me a backup weekly though, and since I havent made many changes in the last week, I can use the last one if need be.

    Ok if godaddy said permissions werent an issue, should I take that? Or should I still try to change them myself? This link….

    Just doesnt tell me where and how to change them. Where do I do that, or should I even try if GD said that wasnt it?

    You could ask them to check if this is a folder ownership issue. Sometimes, support forget to check this in these kinds of situations.

    So should I start there? Then try switching themes?

    If you’d feel happier checking this out first, then by all means contact GD again. While you’re speaking to them, ask them to tell you how much hosting space you have left. It wouldn’t hurt to have that info.

    Ok they reiterrated that it isnt permissions, or ownership issue. Might it be a problem with PP itself? What should I do next? Switch theme?

    Hosting space is maxed, so I’m going to upgrade that now and see if that is it.

    Godaddy said….

    My site is creating a high drag on the server with requests. Getting a request of 3 TRILLIAN : 1 on requests.

    Negatovely impacting the overall shared hosting environment.

    SO….they think its an issue with the ProPhoto4 Theme.

    What do you guys think? I hear something different from godaddy each time I call in the last 24 hours. Ugh. I just dont know what to do ??

    They could be right about the theme creating a significant drain on resources.

    Hi Guys, its been a whole week and I’ve tried everything. Been on the phone 5 different times with godaddy. It wasnt permissions, wasnt space. Contacted PP4 for help….they are getting nowhere. Is there anything else you guys think I can try? There has to be a fix. There just cant be no solution. PP tried installing the default theme and switching to other themes, and that wasnt the issue. So it isnt the ProPhoto theme issue. Help!

    This was an email from prophoto help recently….
    I replaced all your WordPress core files and your ProPhoto files. I have adjusted permissions all over the place and run all kinds of tests. I am getting lots of 404 errors telling me that your site doesn’t have access to the necessary core WordPress files. However, everything looks right.

    It doesn’t matter if ProPhoto is running or one of the default WordPress themes. WordPress cannot find the images that it uploads or the static files in the ProPhoto folder (inside the uploads folder) which are required to display your customizations correctly. Clearly, there is something wrong with your server configuration and/or the way WordPress is set up. It is not just a ProPhoto problem. Something is blocking WordPress from finding the resources it needs.

    Based on your first email it sounds like GoDaddy is doing something to limit the activity on your site.

    I am still willing to help investigate, I’m just not certain what the best course of action is to take right now. I would go back to GoDaddy with this information, that not matter what theme is active, images cannot be uploaded or viewed.

    We have many thousand of customers using GoDaddy without problems like this so I am curious as to what it could be. I would like to bring in one of our developers to look into this problem with me. Can you send me your GoDaddy login info so we can take a closer look in there?

    So I called go daddy back….they said let PP go back and look into the error codes on the FTP. Still nothing…
