    Hi,

    Check the upload path and remove the back slash from uploads/ in settings and also assign 755 recursive permissions to wp-contents folder which may resolve the case…

    If it does not then upgrade the wordpress version to the latest one and have a check

    Thanks,

    Shane G.

    Upload path was already: wp-content/uploads

    Settings are 777 down to the folder containing the file, 555 on the file itself, all owned by the webserver executing WP.

    No help. Sigh….

    Seems like the code puts the file where its supposed to be, but the code that executes on clicking “Send to Editor” does a different calculation. Any idea where that code lives (WP really makes it hard to track down which file contains what piece of a page)

    Thanks,

    Miles

    Found the problem. Turns out that the options>misc. dialogue TELLS you that uploads default to wp-content/uploads, but unless you actually type that in the box and hit “save,” what gets saved into the database does not include wp-content/uploads in the URL.

    Type it in the box, hit “save,” and everything works.

    A real pain to track it down though – had to inspect a lot of uncommented code, and dig into the database.

    Sigh….
