Yesterday, I update my blog via Windows Live Writer. But get the following error message:

Image Upload Not Supported by Weblog
The following images cannot be published because the weblog does not support image publishing.

…some filenames

It has been working fine, and the Windows Live Writer not any update in this period, I just relocated my blog to another server, so I think the problem should be about this. I found a simple way to solve this problem, after checking the Wordpress configure.

Solution

In the Wordpress admin interface >> Settings >> Miscellaneous

You can see the settings about uploading files like the screenshot as below:

You may found the value in `Store uploads in this folder` is not a default value. I don’t know why in the installation of Worldpress, this field is assigned to absolute path instead of the default value. But you just need change back to default value(wp-content/uploads), the problem will be fixed.

Also this problem may related the access permission. If you updated the value and still not work, you can check the folder permission of wp-content/uploads and ensure it is writable. 

If you does not want to check anything, you also can be settings the FTP upload.

Configure Windows Live Writer to upload images to an FTP server

Some blog (Short for weblog. An online journal or newsletter that is frequently updated and intended for the general public. Blogs generally represent the personality of the author or the website.) services don’t host images. If you use one of these services and you want to include images in your blog posts, you must contract with an ISP (Internet service provider. A company that provides access to the Internet.) or hosting service to host your images on an FTP (File Transfer Protocol. A fast, high-bandwidth method of communicating between two computers.) server, and then link to the images from your blog post. To change your Windows Live Writer image settings to upload images to an FTP server:

1. Click Start, click All Programs, click Windows Live, and then click Windows Live Writer.
2. If you use Writer with more than one blog, on the Weblog menu, select the blog that you want.
3. On the Weblog menu, click Edit Weblog Settings.
4. On the Images tab, click Upload images to an FTP server, and then click Configure FTP.

5. Complete the following settings:

   • FTP hostname: The name of your FTP server.
   • Username and Password: The user name and password for your FTP account.
   • Publish images into this folder: Include the full path to the folder on the FTP server. To find the path, click the Browse button.
   • URL of image publishing folder: The web address of the folder where people can view your images. The address should start with http://, not ftp://.
6. Click OK, and then click OK again.
