When I try to browse and upload images on the CKEditor in the admin area I get the error below. Can someone give me a clue? See the screenshot. WordPress 4.6.1, CiviCRM 4.7.9

enter image description here

Reset to default

Have you looked to see if your civicrm.settings.php file is still in-tact? See if it is there and then make sure it has the correct permissions. In Drupal sites, it lives in sites/default/civicrm.settings.php.

Edit: In Wordpress sites, it should be in /wp-content/plugins/civicrm/civicrm.settings.php

  • Yes it is in-tact, the rest of civicrm works. "It should live in sites/default/civicrm.settings.php" - where is this in Wordpress? My is civicrm.settings.php is located in wp-content/plugins/civicrm/civicrm.settings.php

  • It looks like your CiviCRM installation is non-standard, in that your codebase was either extracted to /wp-content/plugins/civicrm/ instead of /wp-content/plugins/. This would result in your civicrm.settings.php being located in a civicrm directory inside another civicrm directory. Either that, or one of your settings is telling CiviCRM to look for the settings file in /wp-content/plugins/civicrm/civicrm even though it's where it's supposed to be. Please check your directory structure and let us know if you have a civicrm directory inside another civicrm directory in plugins.

  • Please see the screenshot if you see anything unusual in the civicrm location in Wordpress: drive.google.com/file/d/0Bz1kxx0BuwdCZXpGcW1GZWt2YmM/view What I had to do in order to fix it is - in wp-content/plugins/civicrm/civicrm/civicrm.config.php I had to specify the location of civicrm.settings.php - inside the definition of public static function singleton() { self::$singleton = new Bootstrap(array('settingsFile'=>'/path/to/your/civicrm.settings.php')); }
