Still not working

    Everytime I try to upload anything I get this error message:
    “The uploaded file could not be moved to /home/bisforbo/public_html/wp-content/uploads/2010/12.”

    I tried changing the permissions to 777 766, 767…non of that did anything except it changed the error to:
    Unable to create directory /home/bisforbo/public_html/wp-content/uploads/2010/12. Is its parent directory writable by the server?

    I really don’t know what to do. I can upload files using an ftp client, but my contributors don’t have permissions to do that (for obvious reasons- they could mess something up, or delete something, etc- having me messing with this stuff is hard enough).

    – check path in Admin => Settings => Media

    The upload path is still at its’ default (wp-content/uploads)….Is that what you’re talking about?

    have you tried:

    – changing the permissions to 755

    – deactivating all plugins to see if this resolves the problem? If this works, re-activate the plugins one by one until you find the problematic plugin(s).

    – switching to the default theme to rule out any theme-specific problems?

    – Try re-saving your permalink structure at Settings/Permalinks in your admin panel. If WordPress cannot automatically edit the .htaccess file, it will provide manual instructions after saving.

    – re-uploading the wp-admin and wp-includes folders from a fresh download of WordPress?

    yes, that seems to be OK.

    You said you also already tried changing the permissions to 777 766, 767…non of that did anything.

    Have you discussed this with your hosting provider? See if they have something to say.

    I tried talking to my hosting provider. they thought they fixed it with some permissions thing they did on their end…and that didnt work. I did all of the things that Keesiemeijer said to try. I JUST GOT IT WORKING!@!!!!
    what i did- in the media uploader problems sticky on the top of the forum there was a post about adding this :
    <IfModule mod_security.c>
    SecFilterEngine Off
    SecFilterScanPOST Off
    </IfModule>
    into your .htaccess file. I always am a bit warry of doing that stuff cause it can really do some damage, but i gave it a shot. AND IT WORKED. so. if you’re ever having a problem uploading stuff and you get an error similar to mine:
    “The uploaded file could not be moved to /home/bisforbo/public_html/wp-content/uploads/2010/12.”
    Definately try that. I have no idea how that file got changed or messed with, or if i did something that messed with it, but either way. that’s the fix. Thanks guys!
