failed to upload due to an error !

    I recently moved my WordPress to different hosting. Now I get this error each time I try to upload files. “The uploaded file could not be moved to /public_html/wp-content/uploads”.

    I searched the interent for a solution and found out that I can upload files as long as the “uploads” directory is set to 777 permission (all others, 755, etc… does not work).

    My question is: Can I leave it on 777? Is it safe? Is there any other solution that lets me upload while the directory is set to 755?

    Thanks,

    The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

    Sorry but that’s not a free hosted WordPress.com blog and we cannot help you with it. You are posting to the wrong support forum. If you don’t have a username account at WordPress.ORG click http://wordpress.org/support/ and register one on the top right hand corner of the page that opens, so you can post to the support forums there and receive advice from WordPress.ORG bloggers.
