# File path changing when adding image

 * When adding an image in a post through the image uploader, the file path ends
   up getting changed. This results in a blank image file instead of the desired
   image.
    Any help with this problem would be greatly appreciated.

 * As this is a backend problem you would get prompted for a password. So I’ll try
   to clarify a little more:
    I go to the image uploader (add an image). In the “
   From Computer” tab, I press “Select Files”. I then upload an image (from my <
   home>/pictures directory). I then “Insert into Post”. It shows up as a blank 
   image. And the “HTML” tab shows that the URL has been changed to: `<img src="
   https://www.agcu.org/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/00698_snowmountains_1280x800.
   jpg" />`.

 * The entire site is on https:
    That is irrelevant to the issue though. I have 
   a site on http: that is having the same issue. I think it has something to do
   with the added /2009/11/ Wordpress used to upload things directly to /uploads/

 * RESOLVED!
    The wonderful people on the IRC #wordpress channel were able to help
   me with this. The problem: Settings -> Misc -> uploads file path incorrect. The
   solution: Correct it.
