Hello there! Quick question that’s entirely off topic. Do you know how to make your site mobile friendly? My web site looks weird when viewing from my apple iphone. I’m trying to find a template or plugin that might be able to fix this problem. If you have any recommendations, please share. Cheers!

In file.php I changed
from: upload_tmp_dir
to: upload_temp_dir

and for some very strange reason it worked immediately I’m using version 3.1

Well that problem seemed to be mostly related to WP 2.7. Since it’s a server-side problem, do you have any additional info about your system?

I added the first few lines to my .htaccess, so this is what I ended up with.

SecFilterEngine Off
SecFilterScanPOST Off

# BEGIN WordPress

RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]

# END WordPress

And it started working

I got the same error with my WP-powered blog (2.7V) and this is how I fixed mine: go to your dashboard:
SETTINGS–> Miscellaneous
Store uploads in this folder
DELETE the word “directory”,
thus, settings will be
default. So it will look like
this [wp-content/uploads].
Before, it looks like this;
[directory/wp-content/uploads], just delete directory/. IT WORKS!
