Image Uploader problem in 2.5beta?

i am having the exact same problem. everything uploads into my wp-content perfectly fine but i have to manually insert the image URL into the html to get the image into my blog post.

FYI, firefox is fine, only IE7 having the problem. i use windows vista.

I am using last version 2.5 and I have same problem with Opera, but works fine with Firefox, so I want to DOWNGRADE!!!! Anybody know how to do it?
thanks

At https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/164999 there are an IE-fix which helped me in both IE and Opera ??

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.

here’s my step by step into glory after one day following the corresponding sticky and other topics:

– cleared browser cache a couple of times
– created the .htaccess everyone is talking about which produced “fatal errors” trying to login to WP. Erased .htaccess.
– updated flash
– manually created “uploads” folder inside “wp-content” folder, went to setting>miscellaneous>store uploads in this folder and updated field with “wp-content/uploads”
– changed new “wp-content/uploads” chmods

works on any browser (Mac)

i have downgrade wordpress to 2.3.3, because newer is not always better

I’ve experience these same problems on some of my blogs but not the others.

However, I’m more interested in why the url link for images is now including “wp-admin” in the url for the image.

Example:

1) I successfully upload an image
2) I choose display options (left, full size, etc)
3) I click Add Image To Post
4) I get a broken image because the url and img tag address includes “https://www.domain.com/wp-admin/wp-content/uploads/…&#8221; It was created in wp-admin and the path url is including this directory. HUGE PROBLEM.
5) I’ve only tried this on one blog that also needed the above .htaccess additions.

Please help!

I was following the instructions to try and resolve the image uploading problem. I deleted my wp-content & wp-admin, uploaded them from a fresh wp 2.5 download then ran into all sorts of problems.

So, I restored the original wp-content & wp-admin but now I can’t get logged in to wp. My site is still functioning fine, but my bookmarked login page shows up weird and then I get this message: Error 404 – Not Found on a page of my site.

my wp-login.php is still in my public_html folder. Did it get corrupted or something?

Thank you in advance

I finally was able to correct it.

Well:
Fix for IE7 only:
on : wp-admin/includes/media.php (817) :
debug: false,
->
debug: false

On : wp-includes/js/swfupload/handlers.js ( 99) :
.animate({minHeight:0,height:36,}, 400, null, function()
{jQuery(this).children(’.describe’).remove()})
->
.animate({minHeight:0,height:36}, 400, null, function()
{jQuery(this).children(’.describe’).remove()})

(not for FF2 !)

I could not insert the photo into the post,though I have done and resize the code according the instruction. Now I could upload the photo but when insert it to the post,it come a blank page. Does someone have a same problem??? you could see mysite here

In addition to the new Flash-based uploader, which is cool but broken, can we get a simple HTTP POST-based uploader just in case anything goes wrong with Flash? ??

I had to make another folder to store pictures until they fix this, which I don’t understand why they wouldn’t fix it right away. Now!
I made an assets folder under the blog directory. When I code a path to the picture using a relative URL “assets/image.jpg” the picture shows up just fine. The maddening thing is that when I go back into admin to do other things, the original link to the picture has been changed by WordPress to a full, bogus path starting with http/site/blog/wp-admin/etc. Stupid! As long as I don’t click “save” it still works, but if I’m editing the site, then I have to make sure and put the path back to relative so it will work.
