Upload successful but unable to insert image

I think there are a whole bunch of people with this problem.. or one similar to it. Until the folks get a new version out you might try the Next Gen plugin by Alex Rabe. I’m using that to put pictures into my photo blog and it works for me.. The media library looks like a wonderful addition but until it works reliably I’m giving up on it.

Oh, I searched around but most people either have problems uploading or something related to permissions. I guess I’d have to use the workaround and insert images manually for now. Hope this gets fixed in the next version, I really like the media library as well. ??

I have this same problem!!! When I push “insert photo” the flash screen just goes white and nothing happens. I’ve been manually inserting them, which is a huge pain. I’ve tried in Firefox, IE, Vista, Windows XP, tabbed, no tabs, updating Flash, updating Java. No luck!! I’d love some advice!

I have exactly the same problem now with WP2.6…

Not Acceptable
An appropriate representation of the requested resource /blog/wp-admin/media-upload.php could not be found on this server.

Apache/1.3.37 Server

This is happening since version 2.5.1 and I have did the workaround in my .htaccess file to be able to upload… The anoying thing is that this new version 2.6 doesn’t have the “Post Image” icon… (The one with a tree)

Hi! I managed to resolve this issue for 2.6.1. Basically you just have to follow point #1 in this post: https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/164999.

Add an .htaccess file in your wp-admin directory:

<IfModule mod_security.c>
SecFilterEngine Off
SecFilterScanPOST Off
</IfModule>

Works like a charm after that. But I guess having the “Post Image” icon has its uses as well, bring it back please! ??

I’m on 2.6.2 and this problem still exists. Even after adding the .htaccess. With the number of unresolved forum posts on this, I’m surprised nobody from WordPress has given a definitive answer.

I’m noticing something interesting as well. The problem only occurs on accounts I create in WordPressMU after install. The default admin account works fine. And I’m testing on the same machine, same browser!

The error is a javascript error that fires when using the “insert into post” button to add an image. It says “permission denied”. But again, this is after a successful upload, so what is being denied??

I am experiencing the same issue with this, and the .htaccess file hasn’t made any difference. Tonight was the first time I experienced this. Can anyone help?

@danapellerin: Hm, yours seem like a different issue. I set up a new 2.7 instance recently and the problem was still there. However, when I applied the same fix of having the .htaccess in the /wp-admin folder, it worked.

@milkymilk: I have another .htaccess file in my wp root which solves another problem with the uploader, I’m not sure if it contributes to part of your problem. It’s a rather widely discussed problem so a search should bring up some topics.
