 * Hi everyone, I start my WP 2008 AUG, in the Miscellaneous I have set my uploading
   files sorted by date, everything goes fine till now. Its 2009 now, I have my 
   2009 and sub folder ready for uploading, but the uploading function seems trying
   to upload to JULY 2008( which I didnt create any folder before AUG).
 * The upload works when I created a JULY folder in 2008 and set its permission.
 * anyone can help me?

 * You shouldn’t have to create the folders manually if you have **Organize my uploads
   into month- and year-based folders** checked in [Administration](http://codex.wordpress.org/Administration_Panels)
   > [Settings](http://codex.wordpress.org/Administration_Panels#Miscellaneous) 
   > [Miscellaneous](http://codex.wordpress.org/Settings_Miscellaneous_SubPanel).
 * Also make sure your **Store uploads in this folder** is correct–I have `wp-content/
   uploads` and have nothing in **Full URL path to files (optional)**.

 * I have upload problem when I first start my wp site, I thought I solved the problem
   by creating another uploads folder outside the wp-content folder since the default
   location doesnt work. is it because I install in the wrong place? My wp-content
   folder is right under the httpdocs folder.
 * thanks for the reply

 * If you are using your ‘own’ structure for upload folders I don’t believe WordPress
   will know how to use that unless you keep changing the **Store uploads in this
   folder** each month.
