Hello,
I just started a new site using justhost.com and am using atahualpa 3.2 theme. I have used this them before through godaddy and had no problem uploading images onto the site. Any images that I am loading (jpg) are showing up as ? marks and are not visible on the site.
Do you think that this is related to justhost? I was thinking that maybe I would have to upload the images through the file manager instead but could not figure out where to put them...
Any insight is appreciated. Thanks!

when you say the images ar showing up as question marks, where?
When you reference the image in the Atahualpa Header or a post?
The questin mark means the path to the image can't be resolved. Please post a url with an example.

I'm having the same problem, and i think myself and Danamarie posted on the same WP forum, also.

On new posts, when I try to use the browser uploader for images, those images posted from my computer don't post. Images posted from a URL do post correctly. I can upload images to my server via an FTP, but that won't work as I add contributors who would like to upload images from their own computers - I don't want to give everyone access to my server.

I think the problem is in the default directory the "images uploaded from computer" are being uploaded to. They are uploading to a day/month/year directory that doesn't seem to exist on our server. Is there a way to change this default image upload path to make sure they upload to an existent directory?

I'm running WP 2.8.3, Atahualpa 3.4.2

And an example: http://www.outfrontcolorado.com/blog/?p=41

Thank you in advance for the help.

I'm seeing images at your posted url

Make sure the folder is writable - make sure you have a folder 'uploads' in your wp-contents folder and make 'uploads' a writable folder

Juggledad, thank you so much for your prompt response. I was able to create the folder and make it writeable - but the images are still default posting to the wp-content folder on the my server.

I'm then able to drag them into the wp-content/uploads folder manually on my server, but it seems like they should do that automatically. The images which posted correctly (linked to in my last post) are ones I manually put in the folder. Here's a correct link to what happens if I don't move the files:

(Sorry about the other link, I posted and then realized I could move the files on the server). Moving the files on the server is easier than having to upload them manually, but I still can't figure out why they don't actually get filed in the folder they're listed under.

Is there some kind of default setting I can change? Or is this just a quirk?

Juggledad, that was it. For some reason it was set to upload directly to wp-content. Changed it to wp-content/upload, and the picture posted correctly. Issue resolved.
