I recently started having this problem myself and I cannot for the life of me figure out why. I’ve tried checking the permissions for the folders in question. I’ve tried deactivating all of my other plugins to make sure there is no conflict. I even upgraded to the new 2.8.5 hoping that would fix it but it’s still broken. Every time I try using the browser uploader I get:
“Error saving media attachment.”
If I try the flash uploaded it says:
“Unable to create directory /wp-content/uploads/2009/10. Is its parent directory writable by the server?”
I am at my wits end… please somebody help me figure this out.
