 After fresh install there is problem with default upload directory.

 Settings - Miscellaneous - Store uploads in this folder - there is only
 wp-content fulfilled, but there should be wp-content/uploads to work
 properly. Also next to this field is message "Default is wp-
 content/uploads".

 But when I upload any file, its URL path is set to http://test.cz/wp-
 content/uploads/something.doc. When I look to FTP account, file is only in
 wp-content directory. So when I upload picture, there is no thumbnail in
 Media Library visible because of this problem (thumbnail is not in wp-
 content/uploads directory).

 This problem appears on several different installations of WordPress. Many
 users ask me for help with this problem, because they are not familiar
 with these settings (upload directory) to change... When I manually change
 wp-content to wp-content/uploads then everything works...
