Upload Button Stopped Working

  • My upload button was working until today and seems to have inexplicably (to me!) stopped. I don’t know if I updated something recently on WordPress or in Picasa, but I do notice that the ‘login’ screen I get when I try to upload an image from Picasa now has the login field left-justified rather than center-justified. When I try to go ahead and login, the login seems successful but I get a message saying ‘Sorry, but no pictures were received from Picasa.’ I turned on debugging per the FAQ and here is what it reports (after a few attempts):

    I’ve tried to remove and add the upload button in Picasa to no avail. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

    Apologies for the late reply – didn’t see this report until now.

    It appears that your server is filtering the long variable names that are required for the operation to work. There’s some discussion in the readme that might help. The empty RSS feed message is an indication that something between Picasa and the plugin is filtering the $POST values. Usually this is being done by server security software that assumes long variable names in POST data is an exploit. It’s a requirement in this instance.
