How to solve image upload problem in wordpress blog

Posted on 17. May, 2009 by Tahir Akram in Blogging

If you have hosted Wordpress blog. You might experience following error message while uploading images.

The uploaded file could not be moved to /var/www/vhosts/example.com/httpdocs/wp-content/uploads

I was messing it to resolve this issue without causing any big damage to my hosted blog environment. There was a strange thing, if I put chmod to 777 and in Settings -> Miscellaneous Setting I have wp-content value in Store uploads in this folder text box. This scheme works but it cause a lot of rush in my wp-content directory with the big pile of images. But still I was not satisfied that I didn’t used uploads folder. I change permission mode of uploads folder to 777. And put wp-content/uploads in Miscellaneous Settings. But all goes in vein.

My issue resolved my just making another folder in wp-content. I name it upload. And put wp-content/upload in Miscellaneous Settings with chmod 777 where wp-content is 755.

Every thing goes smooth. I am able to upload images in a separate directory. Leave the uploads folder if it creating headache for you.
