WP Download Monitor: Upload issue

    Been using WP Download Monitor for a while and suddenly on a new installation of WP and WP DM I ran into problem that the plugin claimed that it didn’t have write access to the wp-content/upload directory:

    /home/internal/httpd/htmlwp-content/uploads/2009/04

    My first reflection is that there is missing a slash between html and wp-content but I don’t recall that WPDM sets and kind of path during installation, or? To test if above was a typo by the output of the script I’ve also chmoded 777 on the mentioned directories to make sure that the plugin would have write permissions. That didn’t make any difference so it seems that the path error is valid; but where do I change this?

  • If you manually edit your database using PHPMyAdmin go to the table wp_options. In that table you will find an option called upload_path set it to /wp-content/uploads. That should do the trick.

    Big thanks for the answer and as well the solutions; shame on me since this error was self inflicted after I moved an installation to another server. Check and re-check other settings to make sure.

    Yeh I did the same thing when I changed server for a client. I changed the obvious domain settings but didn’t think to change the upload path.

    In my case I did change the upload path but I, for some reason, missed out the slash; assume that I did a search and replace for the old base path to the new which ended up breaking the full path to wp-content/uploads.
