Avatar issue.
I moved my site to a new domain and everything works fine except when I go to upload a avatar.

I get this error when trying to upload one:

Upload error: The userphoto upload content directory does not exist and could not be created. Please ensure that you have write permissions for the '/userphoto' directory. Did you put slash at the beginning of the upload path in Misc. settings? It should be a path relative to the WordPress root directory. <code>wp_upload_dir()</code> returned:
<code style='white-spacere'>Array ( [error] => Unable to create directory /home/ihopk/public_html/wp-content/uploads/2009/12. Is its parent directory writable by the server? ) </code>

I noticed this:
/home/ihopk/public_html/wp-content/uploads/2009/12

My new sites path should be:
/home/rentals/public_html/wp-content/uploads/2009/12

Any ideas on where I need to make the path change? I have full FTP access.

Thanks!

Thanks DC!

Here is what I did in case anyone gets this sort of issue in the future:

I went into my cpanel->phpMyAdmin

Downloaded a backup msyql file.

Went into the file and switched out the ihopk with rentals.

Uploaded the updated MySql file to my new sites server and now everything is working fine.

Thanks for the fast response and the awesome theme! I normally don't stay around at forums too long but I visit this one more than a few times a day I'm betting
