Answers.Text: This answer addresses not being able to "send to server." I only have the second problem. I can "send to server" and get the images in whatever I'm editing, but when I click on "Browse Server" then a window pops up with title "KCfinder: /files" (approx. from memory) and it never loads. Eventually it times out and I have to kill it. I can "browse server" on Wordpress pages, but I presume that's a completely different set of files and images that are uploaded for WP only.

Answers.Text: Sounds like your paths/urls are sending the images to a directory that can't be accessed. The slow/never load smells like a network timeout, I wonder if you've got an issue with base domain of the urls that are being used? Is it consistent?

Answers.Text: Make sure you go into your civicrm.settings.php file and update your CIVICRM_UF_BASEURL
  A lot of urls get generated based on the current url, but some use this baseurl and your browser won't want to load non-http images on an https page.

Answers.Text: Thanks. I have done that and also executed .../wp-admin/admin.php?page=CiviCRM&q=civicrm/admin/setting/updateConfigBackend&reset=1 and .../wp-admin/admin.php?page=CiviCRM&q=civicrm/menu/rebuild&reset=1 after I posted. The kcfinder menu now at least comes up. For some reason, everything I uploaded previously ended up in wp-contents/uploads/civicrm/persist/contribute/files, so there was nothing in there. I moved them all into the images/ dir and now everything seems to be OK. Also upgraded to 4.7.14 since this post. The scripts probably fixed the hang. 4.7.14 maybe got the location right. ?but;)

Body: <p>I can't currently upload images into Civi emails - when I click 'send to server' nothing happens, and I can't view the server to browse previously uploaded images either. Have tried various web browsers but each new browser only works temporarily. Any ideas? Thanks.</p>

  I can't currently upload images into Civi emails - when I click 'send to server' nothing happens, and I can't view the server to browse previously uploaded images either. Have tried various web browsers but each new browser only works temporarily. Any ideas? Thanks.

  The most common cause of that symptom in recents releases is due to a security enhancement in an updated version of the wysiwyg editor that is bundled with CiviCRM, that disallows symlinks.
  
  If that is the issue, you can generally fix it by updating the corresponding path in <http://example.org/civicrm/admin/setting/path?reset=1> to its non-symlinked version.
  
  If that's not the issue, then reviewing the path and url settings might shed some light on the problem. And if none of that gives you a quick solution, I'd recommend looking at your server logs which should be instructive (either the civicrm log and/or your web service [apache/etc] log)
