  the video is quite hard to understand..I can’t read anything..but a part from this..this is almost the default solution..it does help only the rookies..there’s something wrong in the 2.7 core code…
  and I still can’t figure out what!
  May help to know..that for me happens only if I use the sub-folder (year/month) organization..otherwise it works!

  I’ve tried this – still doesn’t work. Still haven’t found the problem.

  What sort of error do you get?

  I went to the miscellaneous settings and saw that my upload path was wrong. Thank you so much for your help.

  As I have installed the Wordpress in the 1click installer / Fantastico Installer the path was complete from root to this folder.

  When I changed to default value (wp-content/uploads), Its works fine.

  Thanks a lot to Tips and Tricks.

  If you tryed everything and upload in your wordpress still doesn’t work – i have an answer for you. In short: php safe mode won’t let you create files or directories if your php scripts and upload directory belongs to different users. So there are 2 possible solutions: either disable php safemode (not recommended), or change an owner of scripts and upload directory:

  cd blog_root
  chown -R apache:apache *

  Thanks! The resetting permissions made me feel uneasy.

  This was a simple reset because the install put a long string rooted to the shared server which of course wouldn’t give permission.

  Awesome. I knew all about the file permission stuff (and they wouldn’t fix it), but by changing the upload path worked. Really sneaky error.

  Thanks for helping out.

  Thank you for your guide. Actually just to be more clear:

  Under step 3:
  “Miscellaneous Settings put wp-content/uploads in the “Store uploads in this folder” text box.”

  Meaning replace the whole content of that field… instead of the anything there like /home/user/yorusete/wp-content/uploads

  Thanks for your help!

  Thanks, it was fast and is more secure, because, un other pages are saying to put your upload folder permisions on 777.

  Thanks again , the video is ok as it is.
