# Error adding the attachment

 * When I send an email for posting with an attached PDF file to upload, it has 
   started rejecting the PDF and saying that it can’t upload the file into the uploads
   folder. I did find that it will work if I tell wordpress (NOT) to organize uploads
   in year and month folders. Not really sure why that makes a difference, but any
   help getting this back to working in organized folders would be much appreciated!!
 * This issue started a few weeks ago, but prior to that everything worked just 
   fine!

 * I’ve tested this with the option turned on and off and both seem to work fine
   on my test system.
 * It is possible that the permissions got changed on your upload folders somehow.
   You could test by turning the option back on then trying to manually add a PDF
   to the media library.
 * If that is successful, please leave the option turned on and install the Support
   AddOn which will capture all the logs and place them in a zip file in your media
   library. Send that file to [help@postieplugin.com](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/error-adding-the-attachment/help@postieplugin.com?output_format=md)
