[okfn-help] Problems with uploading media in Wordpress install on okfn.org

Mon Feb 7 09:31:44 GMT 2011

Morning all,

A quick ping to ask if anyone has had a chance to look into why new
header images don't seem to be able to upload on Twenty Twenty theme
in WP? Could this be something to do with permissions?

Thanks!

Jonathan
