More importantly, for me anyway, was that it worked. ??

*NOTE: If you don’t want to read through all of this babble, skip down to the bottom to see what worked for me. ;-)*

****
I hate to bring this one up again, but I figured it was a central post that everyone refers back to, so it would be a good spot for someone like me who had exhausted all their possible options on this one.

I had poured through almost every post here regarding this issue, and had tried every suggestion, checking back daily for weeks. Every plug in, .htaccess workaround, permission set, hack, you name it…nothing worked.

Today, I was setting up a new blog on the same host package, the same domain, the same DB server, and I decided to see if it too had the same upload error issue as I was having on my main photoblog site. Right out of the box, I uploaded a 1024×768 500k image…no problem at all. The best I was able to currently upload on my photoblog (that was having the HTTP upload issue) was about 800x600p and around 200k. I decided to spend some time going through all of my plugins, half at a time to see if I could narrow it down to a plugin on a 50/50 basis. As soon as I deactivated 1/2 of them…the issue was gone. Seeing that, I reactivated 1/2 of the previously deactivated ones and then tried again. The issue came back first shot with the same file. From there, I just kept playing the 50/50 game until I found the plugin that was causing it for me. I toggled it back and forth, and sure enough, it was the one that was causing me the headaches.

WP-SpamFree 1.9.6.6

Now, granted, I did not go back through all of the settings for WP-SpamFree yet, so there *may* be a way to get it to play nice. I was more concerned about being able to use WP to upload the photo sizes that I was able to prior to 2.5 or 2.6…whichever started tossing me the errors. I will report back if I find a setting or workaround for still using the plugin without the issue.

So if you are reading this, and had gone through all of the steps on the first 4 pages without any luck, check what I’ve mentioned above.

Good luck!

Final Update?

Seems that all of the issues have cleared up for me since installing 2.5.1 today. I have added and turned on all previous plugins, and all uploads are going through without a hitch. Not sure if that’s the answer for everyone, but it worked here.

Otto…trust me, I have been through every step along the way, every post, every link, every .htaccess modification, and nothing has worked so far (for me anyhow) besides disabling the WordPress Stats and Cache scripts. There are some specific errors posted here that are not mentioned in your like or the other spinoff links. Lots of the errors in this thread are not being fixed by the link that you hate to keep pointing out. I am sure it has solved the issues for some folks, but it’s not the magic fix for the rest of us.

One constant I can prove, is that small files (< 200k) will upload 100% of the time, while anything (> 300k) is a failure. I don’t pretend to understand it, but I have gone through every resource available here so far and nothing has worked.

I can, and am able to work around the issue, so all is not lost, it’s more of a convenience and the ability to run things the way I was prior to this error showing up. I appreciate the help that is being give here, it’s just not working in all of these cases.

UPDATE – Final…I give in (for now)

Disabling WP-Cache, WordPress.com Stats, and WP-SPAM Free and I have 0% problems. I am sticking with that for the time being until I run into issues, or a specific cause/fix comes out.

Thanks for all the info in this and the other linked threads, it’s appreciated.

UPDATE 2 – WordPress.com Stats + WP-SuperCache GOOD!

After manually clearing all remains of the cache and the plugins, they are playing well together….

WP-SPAM Free is killing it now and I think I see what’s happening.

If WP-SPAM free is turned ON the error occurs, and once it does, there are 2 fresh pages in the cache. If you then turn off WP-SPAM Free, I am guessing that you are being served the cached pages for the uploader, because the error remains until you flush the cache again.

Now…to poke around with Spam Free for a bit…

UPDATE – I seem to have solved my issue though not completely because I can make the issue come back.

First, the issue seems to be coming from WP.com Stats and/or a combination with WP-SuperCache. If you disable all plugins, then flush the cache files, then fire up the plugins again, everything works fine and dandy until you re-enable WordPress.com Stats…then the error comes back. Even if you disable the plugin, the error remains. You have to now flush the WP-Cache/Supercache, deactivate, then re-activate the WP-SuperCache to get it working again. I’m not sure if this makes sense to someone else who knows better than I, the only thing I can think of is the fact that the info populating WordPress.com stats is coming from offsite? What these have to do with uploading photos is beyond me, but I can fix/break it using the methods I posted above.

I am going to try manually deleting and reinstalling the plugins to see if I can get things working properly.

I’m stuck in the same boat as well. I have tried everything on the sticky post regarding the issue. I have disabled plugins, cleared cache/supercache/browser cache, etc etc. I also ran the ‘No flash uploader” plugin, and that gives me the error with a little more info.

“Error 500 – Internal server error
An internal server error has occurred!
Please try again later.”

I was able to post photos all along with 2.5, this issue seems to have turned up within the past week, in which time I have added no plugins or made any changes. I am a bit stumped. ??

I am not seeing it. Checked IE7, FF2.0, and Safari…all work properly with the sidebar showing single links for each page.

The answer can be found here.

Click on “My Profile” on the top right (when logged in).

Check the box “Use the visual editor when writing”

It was originally on for me, then I changed the nickname for admin and it seems to have turned it off. Not sure if it was coincidence or not…?
