I should also add that when i go to wp-content/uploads I am unable to see any of the upload folders……………
Just Parent directory and then name of the image that exists on the website.
It would appear that I already have a folder called uploads inside the wp-content folder. And the permission is already set at 777 but wordpress still fails to recognise it.
The root directory inside my wp-content folder has 2 folders inside it called uploads and then has a further sub-heading called uploads but isnt a folder. When I click on this i am able to find the only image that is working on the website. Any ideas what is going on?
