Image Upload – “Specified file failed upload test.”

There are two problems reported here. The file uploading scripting error seems to have been addressed.

But I have the white screen problem reported by

I’ve tried in IE 7 and FF 2.0.0.2

help?

Image Upload – “Specified file failed upload test.”

I’m using IE 7.
I did edit the code following https://trac.www.ads-software.com/ticket/6443, and it works!

I think it’s just something like mistyping when the programmer did the code.

??

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.

I am new to this and have just upgraded to 2.5 and the trouble begins:

I have no input fields for changing my password from something other than “ituq456&^%7825” as supplied by god.

My install is also doing very insane things when I try to upload using the inline uploader. It puts about 5 copies of an image in my “wp-content” folder with all sorts of wacky names like 500×489-pic, or 150×3245.jpg, or whatever! The last thing I need is to discover 500 photos thrown in there one day! And it is changing all my photo names! I can not have this… period!

Also… why does the inline uploader cause my already coded photos (img src=”etc”) to disappear when I try to use it to upload photos into a post??? What is the purpose of this thing?

This is all VERY annoying! HELP!

I need any answer thats a little clearer than “at the bottom of the page there are 2 inputs to reset your password” … which there are NOT!!!!

Thanks

I am using Firefox 2.0.0.13 and am getting the same error. Whenever I upload a picture using the gallery function it says “An error occurred in the upload. Please try again later.” But it doesn’t show up afterwards like a few people had said.

scratch that.. it somehow works now.. lol.

If this fix is for IE, Now, I’m having a problem with Firefox. I think the new WP2.5 messed up the admin’s upload features.

there is definitely a serious issue with adding images using the new add media option in writing post. I have a completely new fresh install of wp 2.5. I uploaded the pics fine, and I can see them in the Media Library. But when I try to insert the image into the post, it actually inserts the image using the complete file path in the URL (even if you have not mentioned the full path in the misc options), e.g.:

https://your.blog.com/home/name/path/to/file.jpg

which obviously is the wrong path to the file. This needs to be addressed asap. If anyone already has a fix for this issue, please do share.

I am using FF 2.0.0.13 on WinXP SP2, with no addon conflicts. The blog is hosted on a linux cpanel server. I never had issues with any of the previous wp versions..

I’ve the same problem… After applying IE patch:

Opera: nothing works, HTML based form and “Specified file failed upload test.” message shows up.

IE 7: Flash upload form appears, but whole media upload window is placed on the bottom of the browser window and part of it is hidden…

Any ideas?
Thanks in advance

Ok, here’s topic about IE7 problems with upload window being cut-off: https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/165625?replies=3

As for Opera, using No-flash uploader plugin allows you to upload files, but the preview images of already uploaded files in gallery are ridiculously small: https://img233.imageshack.us/my.php?image=smallgallerywp25dv5.png

I’m still experiencing the error in Firefox: “Specified file failed upload test.”

However, when I go to the Media Library tab, the file I uploaded is actually there. It just doesn’t show as being uploaded successfully after I do it.

Any ideas?

WTF? https://trac.www.ads-software.com/changeset/7573?format=zip&new=7573 is a corrupted archive according to Windows when I try to open it.

Thanks polzonoff, it worked- they should change this in the next release.

Thank you so much for your very clear instructions on this fix! It is very much appreciated!

Does anyone know how to turn the flash uploader ON? I have two installations of WordPress and one has the flash uploader and is working fine, while the other installation doesn’t have the flash uploader and is giving me the errors mentioned in this thread.
