Thank you, kmessinger (and again to jonimueller).

I didn’t know anything about permissions until you put me right. I’m much wiser now.

As I still couldn’t seem to sort it, I threw the problem at my hosting company, who sorted out the permissions and also tweaked .htaccess (something else I didn’t know anything about!) All sorted within an hour! What a difference it makes when you know what you’re doing.

Anyway, problem solved. Thanks again.

Thanks for the suggestion, jonimueller.

Still seem to have the same problem, though, even after CHMOD to 777.

Any other ideas, please?

Hello Everyone

Can I add my problem to the list?

I’m new to blogging and was getting quite excited about using WordPress after I had made my first test post to my blog. Then disaster: the next time I came to use WordPress I was told there was an upgrade, which I battled with. I’ve since tried to upload images for the first time, which seem to upload but don’t display. I’m not sure whether it is because of my general inexperience with WordPress or because of the upgrade. I’ve followed the forum discussions about image problems with the upgrade and taken all the suggested steps but still no success.
The name of the image shows on my blog as a link, but not the image itself. When I click on the link I get the following error message:

You don’t have permission to access /wp-content/uploads/2008/04/windowslivewriteraboutmeandthissite-e575david-2.jpg on this server.

Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

I’m getting very disillusioned with WordPress and am wondering if I should just go and use some other blogging software.

Any suggestions, please.

Thanks TVDinner, I did say I was new to WordPress: I guess I just proved it!
