Can’t post at all or upload images

    Hello, I’ve had a rather odd issue for some time now, starting about 3 updates back. Everytime that I or my other administrator try to post and click the “publish” or “save draft” buttons the page just refreshes and leads to the “edit posts” page. It shows the list of all the posts like i pressed the edit button on the left part of the screen. It does not add the post or save a draft of it.

    And one more issue, for the same amount of time we have been unable to post images as well. We click the upload button and the bar shows up like it is uploading but after that nothing happens. Instead of the page that is supposed to allow me to insert the image into the post it just hangs. It doesnt even upload the image either because anytime i check the gallery it isn’t there. This happens with both the browser uploader and the flash one.

    We are using Yahoo Small Business for our websites. You can find the website here. It concerns me that the problem wasn’t fixed with the new version of WordPress. When we started everything was fine, all up to about 3 updates ago. We always use the automatic upgrade for new upgrades, and I’ve tried reinstalling the upgrade via the automatic upgrade to no avail.

    Also I found this topic, do you think this could be the problem?

  • Have you tried:

    – deactivating all plugins to see if this resolves the problem? If this works, re-activate the plugins one by one until you find the problematic plugin(s).

    – switching to the default theme to rule out any theme-related problems?

    – resetting the plugins folder by FTP or phpMyAdmin? Sometimes, an apparently inactive plugin can still cause problems.

    i have tried deactivating and renaming the plugins folder, but not changing the theme to the default. I don’t think it’s theme related cuz it’s in the admin panel, and the theme i have now has been there since we started the blog. Unless the update had something the theme was using that probably isn’t it. I’ll try resetting the plugins folder soon, until then can you offer more suggestions?

    Ok, i tried resetting to the default theme too….no dice

    I might try resetting the plugins via the php method, but i don’t think that will do it…

    any other suggestions?

    I first had problem uploading images in the newest version, then I changed the wp-content to 777. Now, it seems working and I can find the the image files in the root directory of wp-content. However, how can I configure the system whereby the upload files are saved in a sub-directory such as “upload” if I create one.

    Sorry, I now know where the setting is. It is in the settings/miscellaneious. I created an sub-directory “upLoads” and set the upload path to this directory. I don’t know why the “upLoads” was not there in the first place when the system quotes it as a default!
    I also changed the mode to 777 in order to be able to upload files. I’m not sure if 777 is appropriate value but it works. Any advice?

    Nope. No fix. Still can’t upload or post… will try the php fix soon.

    The problem is not plugin related. I have just tested the php method of turning off plugins. I have already tested the folder method and changed the skin to see if that was it.

    No fix yet. Any other suggestions for how I can fix this problem?

    To correct what the main post says. I don’t have 2.8.5 I have 2.8.6.

    I have a semi-similar issue. I can upload and post just fine, but for some reason changes I make to my theme (either my personal one or the default one) aren’t shown on the website until I switch themes and switch back. I too did the plugin deactivation and the theme switch, to no avail. Sounds like we may get told “this is a yahoo! problem.” I’m sure if I ask Yahoo! (who I’m not happy with right now anyway) they will blame WordPress.

    No i’ve narrowed it down to a php error. I’ve tested installing wordpress under another php database and it works fine. This means that i’m going to have to import our posts from the old wordpress database and install them in a new one, which means more-or-less reinstalling from scratch, and changing the database to the new one inside my blog once all posts are counted for and all….

    It’s gonna be a bitch but it’s gotta be done…
