Can’t Upload Pics–Do the Devs Know?

  • I see a lot of posts here about problems either uploading images to the gallery or people being unable to insert existing pics into posts. I am having the former problem.

    I am starting this thread so people who cannot UPLOAD pics could post their issues or their fixes. Whenever I try to upload, I can choose my image from my HD, but when I actually click to upload, the pop-up box just freezes on 0% and nothing ever uploads. I am using Linux and Firefox, but this issue appears to be OS independent and browser independent.

    Is there any way we could have a “sticky” in this forum where the developers could acknowledge they understand the problem exists and are indeed working on it? Also this would allow us to be informed of an update.

  • To dkpw, many thanks for the info.

    Finally I have managed to clear my problems with the media upload and posting in WordPress 2.5! thanks to a mix of possible solutions, this is what I did.

    (WINDOWS VISTA, BROWSER IE7)

    —————————————————————–

    1) htacces in website-root should contain:

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

    2) chmod settings for uploads folder set at: 755

    3) In your admin goto: Settings => Miscellaneous.

    set ‘Store uploads in this folder’ to: wp-content/uploads (do not put a ‘/’ after uploads)

    Leave Full URL path to files BLANK.

    4) IE has specific known issues. Download these two files, replace them in your WordPress installation: Download at:

    https://trac.www.ads-software.com/changeset/7573?format=zip&new=7573

    Download the file, unzip and copy the two folders over the exiting folders, it will replace two files with a ‘,’ issue that makes IE7 act up.

    These steps solved the problems with Adding media in the new WordPress 2.5 for me.

    I’m Using Windows Vista and IE7, I really think that there are no server issues for most of the users that cause problems with the media uploads. Probably steps 3) and 4) are the most important!

    Hope it helps for others!

    By the way, the 2.5 is a pleasure to work with, and a great leap forward!
    Hopefully all users get there problems fixed, it’s worth the trouble.

    The fixes posted in this thread have fixed most of the issues I was having, thanks to everybody for their help.

    Oh, and Otto I think there is a ‘bug’ with this link you provided.

    Disable the flash uploader:

    @avinews: thanks! I inserted these lines into my .htacess file and that fixed the problem for me.
    (Using FF 2.0.0.13 – not willing to tackle the IE problem just yet.)

    1) htacces in website-root should contain:

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

    This must be a server issue, as the Media Uploader worked just fine on my local install (WAMPServer + WP 2.5)

    For future readers of this thread, please refer to the solutions posted in the sticky here: https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/164999

    And if anybody has a problem and wants to get help solving the problem, then by all means feel free to post a new thread with details on the issues you are having. Preferably without excessive finger pointing. We’d like to keep the forums factual and technical, to facilitate helping people, and trying to place blame or calling things “bugs” does not do that.
