I am fully agree with Philip. The path should not absolute path. The upload process is working with "wp-content/uploads" path. So changing this will not make any effect. And this will help us when we move host.
I am a web developer.The Media upload is broken whenever I move Wordpress site to client's host. Sometimes I forget to change the path and client would little worry when he/she see the error. So I recommend to change the path to "wp-content/uploads" and not the full absolute path. On Thu, Jun 21, 2012 at 6:50 PM, Philip M. Hofer (Frumph) <phi...@frumph.net > wrote: > Okie dokie.
