this seems to be a general problem, I think.
I couldn’t resolve it with the tips given here, it’s always the same answer, no matter what permissions I give, from 750 to 777:
“Unable to create directory …/blog/wp-content/uploads/2006. Is …/blog/wp-content/uploads writable?”
I then tried to create the categories manually and gave tem all permission 777, the answer is this:
“Warning: move_uploaded_file(): SAFE MODE Restriction in effect. The script whose uid is 1255 is not allowed to access …/blog/wp-content/uploads/2006/01 owned by uid 30 in …/blog/wp-admin/admin-functions.php on line 1757”
why aren’t we able to set the upload folder manually like before? i’ve quite a lot of pictures and had my own archiving system.
