Multiple file attachments with IE 9 & 10

    In an attempt to get around the problem of not being able to delete posts through the dashboard, I installed the development updates through wp-user-frontend_1_1_2RRR_4_3_alpha.zip. Now, I am happy to say that as any non-admin user, I can delete posts created by that user through the dashboard.

    I still have one problem that only occurs in IE 9 & 10. (I don’t have IE 8 still installed anywhere, so I don’t know about it.) I can only attach one file at a time, up to my entered file attachment limit. After I have posted with the one attachment, I can go back in and attach another one file when I edit the page, but each time, I can only add one file at a time. After I have attached the first file, the attachment button does nothing. Again, this is only in IE. This may be just be my configuration, but I’m curious if anyone else has experienced it in this or earlier releases. I’m not an IE user, regularly, but some of my members are.

  • Hi reticent98

    This is weird. Have tried it with IE8 and there are no problems adding multiple attachments. IE8 doesnt use HTML5 which is possibly a cause.

    After you have added an attachment does the attachment button change from how it is normally? Does hovering the mouse over it have any effect?

    This may be a hard one for me to figure out as I don’t have a machine with IE9 or 10 and Microsoft in their infinite wisdom has decided not to let XP users upgrade to IE9 therefore instantly losing half the market to Chrome and Firefox for anybody who wants to use HTML5.

    First lets try to figure out what the button is using. Try right clicking the attachment button. If silverlight it should pop up.

    If it’s an HTML5 problem you may be able to fix it by forcing it to use Silverlight or Flash or Html4

    In the file lib/wpuf-attachment.php find the following lines

    'plupload' => array(
                'runtimes' => 'html5,silverlight,flash,html4',

    To stop it using html5 just remove it from the list. This isnt the optimum for Firefox or Chrome but it could be a fix for now

    The new development version seems to resolve this issue.

    Not sure what I did to fix the issue between versions but if it now works thats fantastic
