can not upload image (adding new post)

tfindlay – did you resolve your problem? I have exactly the same issue since upgrading to 2.9.1, the help is not working, I cannot amend widgets etc. Want to get feedback before i start deactivating widgets & everything goes wrong

Hi. I had similar problem but with editing images. Uploading works just fine. I didn’t see image in edit window, and all admin wasn’t working properly ( refreshing pages after save options etc.), until I deleted this code from my functions.php

<?php function new_excerpt_length($length) {
	return 20;
}
add_filter('excerpt_length', 'new_excerpt_length');
?>

Now everything works like a charm, but I need to find some solution for word limit.

Hope it helps!

It appears that a number of supplemental issues were resolved through this thread but not the original question.

I am having the image upload issue now as well using 2.9.2 – I only noticed this yesterday after I installing WP Super Cache. I of course can’t uninstall the plugin now due to some other error.

Has the root cause of this problem been established and published? It seems that a number of possible resolutions or work arounds are out there, but is there any way to avoid this problem if I reinstall WP?

Please advise.

@johnnyc7680 — The original issue was resolved in the second post by reloading the page. Other issues seem to be related to plugins, functions or broken javascript. If WP Super Cache is causing the issue and you can’t deactivate it you’ll need to delete it via FTP. If that doesn’t solve it for you, clear your browser’s cache and see if that helps, if not deactivate all plugins before trying to reinstall anything to see if that fixes it. If a plugin in causing the issue, reinstalling WP will do nothing.

I found this in in the WordPress MU forums, but it solved my problem with image uploading in WordPress 2.9.2. Perhaps it can be of help to others.

@kristarella – thanks for the feedback and proposed resolution, but I’ve tried everything you mentioned and the image upload is still not working properly. I’ve remove Super Cache (via FTP), deactivated all plug-ins, cleared cache, tried alternative browsers. Also of note, the other 4 sites I manage with WordPress do not have this issue at all (all on the same hosting service – Network Solutions).

Any other ideas?

@nallejacobsson — I will take a look at the details of the other post, but from what I can see this will require me to change WP delivered code, which I would like to avoid. If this is a WP issue, then there should be a patch delivered.

@johnnyc7680 — At what point is your image upload not working? I.e., does the upload dialogue pop up when you click the media buttons? Is your uploads folder writable? Is it an error while crunching the image?

If it’s a problem with the dialogue itself, try using Firebug Console, or Webkit Inspector to see if there are any javascript errors on your page and perhaps turn on debugging by adding define('WP_DEBUG',true); to your wp_config.php file.

A reasonably common problem is reaching the PHP memory processing limit while crunching the image. There will be a red error notice if that happens.

I cannot view any of my pages or edit anything
I cannot install plugins or make any changes
I get a blank screen after i install a plugin so it doesn’t work
My site is live and i need to make changes fast
I have deleted all cookies, temp files etc
Maybe its my slow ISP?

Please start your own topic. Your issues have nothing to do with this thread.

I have the same issue with wordpress 2.9.2. When I either upload an image with a post or a page or via the Media library it cannot be viewed.

I checked the permissions of the uploaded files and changed them from 0644 to 0664 and it was fine then

There is still a problem there but at least this is a workaround for the time being
