I have uploaded a wordpress image manager plugin via ftp. I have activated it wordpress however each time i try to use the image manager i get the following error message


invalid base directory: /home/xxxxxxx/public_html/wp-content/uploads/ (where x is my domain name)

In the plug in settings, I am asked for the following - where do i find these?

Base Image Director and Base Image URL ( The URL to the base image directory, the web browser needs to be able to see it)

"Base Image Directory" and "Base Image URL" must be poiting to the folder where you want to upload your images. You get an error message because /home/xxxxxxx/public_html/wp-content/uploads/ doesn't exist.

So just create a folder named "uploads" or point the base-options to an existing folder.

Let's say you have your images in a folder called "images" then add this into the options:

Base Image Directory
/home/xxxxxxx/public_html/wp-content/images/

Base Image URL
/wp-content/images/
