Image Uploader Problem (NOT answered above)

  • I’m using WP 2.65.

    When I try to upload an image, it goes through the process, but simply DOES NOT upload the image. I checked the uploads directory and it just wasn’t there. So images show up in the post as broken.

    Things I’ve tried:

    1. In Settings/Miscellaneous, I changed the uploads directory to the full path – https://www.etc.com/wp-content/uploads (note: no slash at the end, so that’s not it, either)

    2. I added the snippet of code to do with the security issues to the .htaccess file

    3. I uploaded the new “functions.php” file.

    4. I completely deleted and replaced the wp-includes and wp-admin folders/files on updating to 2.65

    5. The image names do NOT have special characters

    6. I am using Firefox 3.0; I’d sooner die than use IE.

    7. Flash 10 problem noted; but I use the regular uploader anyway.

    NONE of this has worked. I’ve been to so many forum posts talking about this subject, and either the above fixes have worked for people, or the question is just not answered for those (like me) for whom he fixes do not work.

    The strange thing is that I have two blogs – both running the same version of wordpress, and one uploads images, while the other does not.

    PLEASE HELP.

    Something worth noting:

    My host is IPOWER. For the rest of you having this problem, is this your host?

    AND/OR – Did you install wordpress using your host’s internal applications, or set up the database yourself?

    The ONLY difference between the blog that works and the one that doesn’t is that the one that works is the one where I installed the DB manually.

    I just installed another WP blog using IPOWER’s internal apps, and I have the image uploader problem again. So I’m thinking the problem has something to do with how IPOWER (and maybe other hosts like it) sets up the database.

    I am going to manually set up a new database, and reinstall wordpress, and see if I can get one of the broken blogs to work. I’ll report my findings here.

    Ok, after muddling around for over 6 hours, I can tell you for certain that it has something to do with IPower’s internal wordpress installation, and how it configures the database.

    I don’t know PHP at all, and so I’m not sure where it messes up, but if you’re having an image upload problem that’s not being solved by the usual methods, make sure you do a manual install of WP.

    The best I can tell you is that the mistake lies somewhere in the wp-includes folder. I managed to fix the problem, then overwrote my wp-includes with and old version, and the problem returned. So I just uploaded the generic wp-includes folder and the problem was fixed again.

    Can you tech experts here let us know what’s causing this problem?

    Not without knowing what the differences in the files are, no.

    hi Godheval, I also facing this problem and still unable to solve. I done the installation manually but still facing the probelm.

    what you mean by generic wp includes folder?

    By generic wp-includes folder, I mean the folder/files that comes with the WP download, before you make any changes.
