Still not working. I found this thread on the same issue. I enabled the iTSec plugin XMLRPC setting (which I had disabled) and disable the Hide Backend feature (which I had enabled). It did not fix my problem.

Please help.

Update: My problem fixed with this workaround.

There is a WordPress 2.8.4 compatability problem with PHP 5.3.0. for the “SearchMeter” WordPress plugin.

PHP ERROR LOG Message: [14-Sep-2009 17:58:10] PHP Warning: Parameter 1 to tguy_sm_save_search() expected to be a reference, value given in /var/www/html/wordpress/wp-includes/plugin.php on line 166

LINES 165 & 166:
$args[1] = $value;
$value = call_user_func_array($the_[‘function’], array_slice($args, 1, (int) $the_[‘accepted_args’]));

EXPLANATION: In PHP 5.3.0, assigning the return value of new by reference is now deprecated.

HOW IT BREAKS THE WORDPRESS 2.8: The blog will display the template but not show any results from a catalog, individual search, page… nothing. Basically, it looks like a blank page.

WORKAROUND: I disabled this plugin and it worked.

SUGGESTION FOR OTHERS: Disable all plugins and add them back in one at a time to see which one might be breaking it.

Same problem. I’m running php 5.3.0 and WP 2.8.4 and I still have the problem.

Same problem with WordPress 2.7. Any solutions?

SOLUTION FOUND!!!!

Problem: Could upload images but could not insert them into posts using the Upload/Insert Image. Got a white pop-up with an error message in the status bar. Latest error sited “permission” problem.

Solution: I simply (although it took me 6 months to figure it out, off-and-on by combing through these forums) changed my blog URL to all lowercase, following someone’s suggestions. Do this in “Settings/General” and this fixed it in IE and FF – the two places I tested it.

I had tried everything and after 5 WordPress upgrades I knew that that was not the problem.

JanEhrhardt, tried the following, but it did not change a thing:

The real fix: remove this.blur() on line 27 of thickbox.js:

I am getting a permission problem when I try to insert photo that is in gallery (upload works fine – can can see it in “wp-content/uploads” which has permission of 777. My user is “administrator”. I’m using IE7, Windows XP Media edition, have the latest edition of everything: php 5.2.8, mysql 5.0.67, WordPress (latest). Help! anyone.

How do I check for javascript errors in the Error Console?

When I get the blank screen in IE 7, the error message flagged in the status bar is:

Line: 4
char: 1
Error: Permission denied
URL: https://www.circleoffood.com/blog/wordpress/wp-admin/media-upload.php?post_id-1229034506&type=image&flash=0

Wouldn’t the error be in the media-upload.php file, or more specifically, one of the includes on line 4 of that file?

Clarification: I got the path to look correct when I look at image attachment records in the wp-posts table (“guid” field), as follows:

https://www.circleoffood.com/blog/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/fat-bulldog.jpg

but I still get the white screen on the “insert into post”

bradyjfrey: No change when I use Mozilla/Firefox. Note that I can upload images fine. I can see them in the /uploads/2008/12 folder on the server. It is only when I try to “insert into post” that I get the blank screen. I am using the “browser upload” option (not the Flash). Would the version of Flash that I use matter for this option? I noticed that something somewhere said that the Flash version only worked if you used the older version 9.

Yes, I know how to use phpMyAdmin. What do you want me to check? In the wp-options table, the uploads_path is “wp-content/uploads”. When I try to change the “root” upload path, it does not change anything in the path for the images associated with individual posts – these seem to be “preserved” with the individual post. Here is the path I am seeing for an image filethat got uploaded, but not inserted:

https://www.CircleOfFood.com/blog/wordpress/var/www/html/blog/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/avatar-48×48.gif

The “/var/www/html” should not be there (so this would explain the bad relative path that would give me a permission problem), but how did it get there if my uploads_path is “wp-content/uploads”??

What I am worried about is that the WordPress code may have a “/” in front of some path built from the database instead of using “../” for making it relative.

Otto42: Yes, I really did try everything in the list. I am at the most current version, I created your .htaccess file — nothing helped. I am not the only person having this trouble if you do a search on “wordpress media upload permission denied” problems.

Helloooo. Is anyone monitoring these posts?

More information on this problem. The “media upload” feature has never worked and I am determined to figure out why, since I learned that it is working on another WordPress blog I manage that is hosted on a different server than the one giving me the problem — so this tells me that it is not the code or how I configure it. It is something server-specific.

The error I get when using the “browser upload” feature (not the Flash, which is another story) is “permission denied” for the file wp-admin/media-upload.php.

I think it is a pathing problem. I am seeing the following path for the photos that are displayed now:

/var/www/html/blog/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/bkgd-grid.jpg

but the default folder for my media uploads is “wp-content/uploads”.

Has anyone gotten this to work on WestHost servers and what are your settings for the default path?

I also have this problem. Have tried everything recommended across multiple forums, including here. I even upgraded to latest version (asof today) and no improvement.

I am using IE7 with the media upload “user browser upload” option (not flash). It does upload the file but when I try to insert into post, it gives me the white screen and the permission denied error on line 4 as stated above in previous post.

My URL’s root is actually at /var/www/html/ and I am wondering if some code might not be handling the pathing properly. I don’t have to use this in any of my relative addressing, but I guess it could be possible that this could cause a problem. ???

diegoc: OK – I found the issue. Apperently the built-in windows un-zip application does not unzip all files

VICTORY. Thanks, Diegoc! This solved my problem also. I just reinstalled the tinymce files using WinZip (same thing I used the first time). Something got corrupted the first time.

I had been reading the forum for hours and saw that everyone was having different problems. The corrupted unzipping explains it all — where different files did not load properly from the .zip file.

For those who may not have seen my exact problem, here it is: Using IE7 and WordPress vs 2.3.3. Neither the “visual” or “code” tabs were displaying when writing or editing a post. Also, the toolbar did not display, even though I had the “use the visual editor when writing” turned on.

Looking at all the posts, I was sure it was a bug since this has been out there for quite some time. You are a genius.

The PHP memory limit is not the problem. I just checked mine and it is 20 MB.

The toolbar is working fine on an older version of WordPress on a different domain that I have and it also has a PHP memory limit of 20MB.

Same problem. I don’t want to write/edit a post in html. I want the previous functionality where we could toggle between the two modes. Is there a fix?
