Changing the path in Settings > Misc should not break anything. It should just make your uploads go somewhere else (assuming the path you put in there exists or can be created). Sorry, I don’t know the answer but a temporary workaround is to use FTP software to upload your files.
What exactly did you enter into Settings > Miscellaneous?
I figured it out. I had a weird .htaccess file in the root. So, I re-wrote it and we’re back to normal.
Thanks.
You probably have to add the foldername to the file like:
# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /foldername/
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /foldername/index.php [L]
</IfModule>
# END WordPress
Replace foldername in both places with your actual folder name.
I’m surprised that your site worked at all w/o that file.
This might work. All the advice to update my htaccess was not helping. I run my blog on a windows server. This is how I fixed this HTTP error problem.
With in your Dashboard go to Settings and then Miscellaneous Setting.
For some reason my hosting site automatically added this to the Store upload files path.
(/home/users/web/b2284/ipw.livingproofbc/nt/blog/wp-content/uploads)
I deleted it all and replaced it with
wp-content/uploads (just as recommend.) (Also make sure you have a uploads file in your wp-content folder)
Now IT WORKS!
This only took me 8 hours of tweaking to get it to work. Hope this works for you.
