Add Media – Insert Image in Post not working

  • Here’s the problem on a client WP install & particulars:

    Bluehost, running WP2.6.1.
    Initial WP install was done via Fantastico.
    Upgraded to WP2.6.1 using WPAU plugin (today).

    Problem:
    The problem existed before the upgrade to 2.6.1. Upgrade did not change anything in regards to problem.

    We can upload an image, but if you try to insert it into a post, you get a blank screen (both flash or browser method).

    In IE7, there is a error message in the browser status bar, when clicked on this is the message:

    Line: 4
    Char: 1
    Error: Object doesn’t support this property or method
    Code: 0
    URL: http : // client url/wp-admin/media-upload.php?type=image&tab=type&post_id=150

    I have tried the list of things on Otto’s great thread on Image/Media Uploader problems with no results.

    Also, tried another suggestion that included deleting /wp-includes/js directory and reinstalling with fresh code.

    Also, deactivated all plugins, still same problem.

    Any ideas or suggestions are greatly appreciated.

    I finally got it!

    Under Settings -> WordPress Address (URL), my domain name had mixed capitalization. Once I changed it to all lower-case, it started working.

    I found this solution in another thread, reposting in case it helps anyone:

    I found that my problem came with my WordPress address (URL) having uppercase letters, and apparently PHP does not like that. I suggest making sure that the URL is all lowercase. It fixed my site, who knows, it could fix yours.

    Just replace wp-admin\post-new.php and wp-admin\media-upload.php with the fresh ones. It helps me!

    I just started having this problem after updating to 2.6.3 I click the add “image” button and instead of the usual inline little box that comes up, the entire page changes to the insert picture page and when you press insert into post, it doesn’t even take you back to the page.

    I have downloaded and reuploaded the files again and I checked my Flash version — it’s 9.

    I’m not sure what else to do.

    I got this error as well for 2.6.3 – after I propagated a new URL through the internet. You have to have the EXACT match of your website name in the command bar as is on the WordPress settings – General – WordPress Blog Address (URL) field – and it is case sensitive.
    I had https://www.TheCreativePenn.com in the field and actually it should have been https://www.thecreativepenn.com – when I changed it, everything works fine again.
    I hope that helps some people – I tried a whole load of other things first that were complicated – but it was this simple! so try this first and then try the re-installing etc etc.

    for me the problem was one of the plugins.
    once I deactivated wordpress-google-seo-positione the problem was solved

    Plugin problem as well, I deactivated Position Yourself and everything is working. So check your plugins, and as suggested deactivate them one by one till you find the culprit and once you find it, go to the plugin developer and see if there is a fix for it.

    UN-FREAKIN-BELIEVABLE!!!!!

    Mixed-capitalization was the issue for me too (same as ejk mentioned!)…

    AHHHHHHRRRRGGGGGHHHHHH… at least it works now!!!:)

    SOLUTION FOUND!!!!

    Problem: Could upload images but could not insert them into posts using the Upload/Insert Image. Got a white pop-up with an error message in the status bar. Latest error sited “permission” problem.

    Solution: I simply (although it took me 6 months to figure it out, off-and-on by combing through these forums) changed my blog URL to all lowercase, following someone’s suggestions. Do this in “Settings/General” and this fixed it in IE and FF – the two places I tested it.

    I had tried everything and after 5 WordPress upgrades I knew that that was not the problem.

    Under Settings -> WordPress Address (URL), my domain name had mixed capitalization. Once I changed it to all lower-case, it started working.

    Worked for me. Thank you VERY much.

    The ‘Position Yourself'(v1.2) plug-in was also the culprit for my WP-2.7.1 install.

    Under Settings -> WordPress Address (URL), my domain name had mixed capitalization. Once I changed it to all lower-case, it started working.

    WOW!! This was also my problem!

    THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!

    Disabling all the plug-ins and reinstalling one-by-one proved to be the perfect solution!

    I found out that it was the plugin that allows you to put Amazon links into your posts… that disables the ability for the popup window to work in the admin.

    I just started in the WordPress world. I had no problem with media uploading until I installed podPress plugin. Not only did it keep me from being able to use the media insert, it also distorted the size of my images in each post running them under the left and right side bars. As soon as I deactivated the plugin, the media insert worked fine, and the photos displayed properly.

    I need to add audio files to my site so a podcast plugin is very helpful. Anyone know of a more compatible plugin for this? (This is the first and only plugin I have used).

    here is a good podcast plugin i used.
