 * i’ve transferred from one website to another and all seems well apart from the
   upload manager which is looking at the old path. Any idea where to change this?
 * It doesn’t look like you can use the file upload feature at this time because
   the directory you have specified (/home/user/public_html/blog/wp-content) doesn’t
   appear to be writable by WordPress. Check the permissions on the directory and
   for typos.

 * The solution is the error message: Make writable (e.g. chmod 666) the directory.
   
   And you can also check whether the path is correct – in your admin panel >Options
   > Miscellaneous.
