Tried everything on here and nothing worked!
was getting the ‘cannot upload to www/varhost/etc/etc/etc/uploads are you sure permissions etc’
Solved it for 2.5 and 2.3 and i really hope this works for others too because the solution is amazingly simple:
1.create your own uploads folder and set to 777 permisions
2a. (2.5 users only) in admin options/misc put in the full path to your uploads folder ***DONT put in a slash at the end***:
https://www.mysite.com/wp-content/uploads
2.In options/misc in ur admin untick the option:
Organize my uploads into month- and year-based folders
3.thats it!!!!!!!
It seems to be the creation of the different folders which is the problem, not the uploading of the file
I know this isn’t perfect for people who like their date organised folders but hey at least its a solution
Please let me know if this works for you and very best of luck!!!!
