[wp-testers] File Permission Problems

[Paul Robinson]

The problem I had was because the uploads directory path had the full *nix
path in it rather that the wp-content/uploads path. So I don't know if it
happens with the slash at the end. I agree though a little bit of script to
remove the trailing slash should be rather easy. I can't test since I use it
on a production website, but if you can test it then I would support a
ticket being opened. :)

Thanks.
Paul.
