I did that but won’t let me get to the config panels? Also the link to documents is broken BTW.

I’ve spent the last while at my Cpanel of my webhost but everything seems to be in order there …and why wouldn’t it since they support wordpress and had it set up for simple install as I remember now.

I have users designated for wordpress and the strings appear as noted in your instructions.

But I still get the error message…..

And it still doesn’t work

Someone needs to hire a writer to translate the geek language to real language. The support files are all over the place.
Under FTP – and how would a non tech user know to read down there – there’s suddenly a section on changing access.

A non tech user would assume the WP files are on their hard drive. They wouldn’t make the leap to understand it’s on their web host server. Especially since many non tech users have very simple web platforms and have a simple system to update their web sites, rarely having to go to their cPanels or the like.

However, having said all that it still appears the permissions were already there…I added them again…but this is a really frustrating process.

And I’ve spent the last five minutes trying to fathom what the technospeak means.

Where do I find the wp root directory?

The help files are not clear.

Look, it may seem obvious to you but its not to me. Now I see the upload function lower down but when I try to load I get this

Unable to create directory /home/iharvey/public_html/blog/wp-content/uploads/2007/11. Is its parent directory writable by the server?
Back to Image Uploading

You’re the only one replying to my post that I can see

No I don’t upload to the server…how would I do that…shouldn’t Word press do that for me?

I just tried it again…same result which is the definition of stupidity but there you go.

I click on the image icon

pasted in the path: H:\Italycut\webpics\tinapannini.jpg

and got a space for an image and the title…but no image.
