    I’m getting this message when I try to upload an image in 2.1.

    The uploaded file could not be moved to /home/gyglgmo/public_html/wp-content/uploads/2007/01.
    Warning: Cannot modify header information – headers already sent by (output started at /home/gyglgmo/public_html/wp-admin/admin-functions.php:1879) in /home/gyglgmo/public_html/wp-includes/functions.php on line 1219

    Everything else went fine with the upgrade, that I can see so far, except for one plugin incompatibility and this upload error. Can someone please help me with this?

    Can’t anyone help me? I can’t get a photo into a post without uploading to photobucket and pasting the url in. I would really like to get my wordpress 2.1 working properly.

    The error message comes up where the upload manager is in the post. I’ve tried everything I can think of to fix this. I’ve made sure the permissions are right and I don’t see a plugin that might be causing the problem. I don’t have any plugins that have to do with uploads.

    Try searching for “headers already sent” – it’s usually something to do with whitespace somewhere.

    And make sure that /home/gyglgmo/public_html/wp-content/uploads/2007/01 exists and is writable by your server.

    I found the problem. In the wp-content/uploads/2007/01 the 01 folder didn’t have the permissions right. That folder I somehow missed. I set the permissions and now it works!

    Thanks vkaryl and HandySolo! I’m a happy camper now!

    Oh, that’s good! I wasn’t really any help, but I AM glad you got it sorted!

    so what should the permissions be? 755?

    for jan 2007 i have

    drwxrwxr-x 2 rjnagle rjnagle 4096 Jan 25 14:45 01

    and it doesn’t work!

    If I change the image directories to 777, it DOES work.

    But that doesn’t seem right.

    Is this then a server issue?

    I too had this problem. It turns out that it’s a consequence of the way php is set up on your webhost, and you may be able to change this.

    If php is set up as an Apache module, then it runs as the webserver and you have to change the permissions to 775. However, if you are able to run it in FastCGI mode then the permissions can remain 755, which is more secure.
