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?

    Ok, I fixed it. Had to export the posts for each user individually via WordPress. Then install a new one over the old blog (not before backing up though) and then import the posts for each person while being logged in (I found that setting “import as existing user” made no difference, you have to be logged in with that user in order to import the posts as that user’s post or else all the posts will be imported under one user’s name). After that, everything worked. Blog is back up.

    If possible perhaps you could sticky this or add this solution to the FAQ. If you need more info I can provide it.

    I’m having a similar issue: The admin area for a new post or new page won’t complete it’s loading process. Browser status (Explorer, Chrome, Firefox) is eternally “Waiting for https://SelfEnterpriser.com/wp-admin/post-new.php…” version 2.8.6

    Really hoping I don’t need to install a new blog; I appreciate your sharing your experience, mddevelper_b (doncha hate it when someone comes back w/the reply: Oh, nevermind. I fixed it).

    Just joshin’ (see above post). Tho, at least for now, seems like the problem is solved. I De-Activated the following PlugIn:

    [WPINC Prototype] Installs the Prototype and Scriptaculous JavaScript libraries included with WordPress.

    I don’t remember why I put that on there in the first place; oh, I think I was in search of a character counter for limited posts (which I never found). Anyhow, I unchecked that puppy and all seems to be hunky-dory (whatever that means).

    Thanks for those who suggested deactivating plugins.

    I read both of those posts straight so at first I thought you were serious lol.

    But yea, hopefully they will add this issue to the FAQ. I think the error popped up from a failure in an update that might have corrupted either the post tables or something like that. Anyway, since it’s fixed I’m all ok.

    If you have to reinstall, make sure to rename your old database and blog, and to completely start over with the blog, but export your posts per user. (pending that you have more than one poster) I noticed that comment subscribers would not come over so you will have to tell them to re-subscribe sadly. I also found that if you name the new database the same thing as the previous database all rss feeds and everything work just fine. They’ll automatically update.

    Hi! When I tried to add image to my blog post, after I clicked the small icon (ver 2.9) next to ‘Upload/ insert’, it just shows a bar with moving strip’ but then hang there ‘forever’.

    Had tried another word press for adding image and it works fine (I mean it follows the same outcome line what this link had explained, Note: has no relation to this link, but it has clear illustration)

    Can anyone advise what could be the problem and how to solve?

    Tks.

    i have a problem, when I insert/upload media or image always showed error message :
    Unable to create directory /home/a7781752/public_html/wp-content/uploads/2010/01. Is its parent directory writable by the server?
    Why??
