WordPress 2.5 Image Upload Error [WordPress Fix]

wordpress image upload error

The new WordPress 2.5 is great, especially it’s new approached used to handle images upload. However some WordPress users might encounter problems uploading images, getting stucked with error messages similar to the following:

  • HTTP error
  • An error occurred in the upload. Please try again later.

If you fail to upload images with the error messages above, here’s a fix for it. Prepare your favorite text editor, FTP program (or shell terminal) and following these following steps:

Step 1

Using FTP, or shell terminal navigate to the root of your WP folders. Download .htaccess and open it with text editor. If there isnt any .htaccess file, create one.

where is .htaccess

Step 2

Insert the following script into .htaccess.

    <IfModule mod_security.c>
    <Files async-upload.php>
    SecFilterEngine Off
    SecFilterScanPOST Off
    </Files>
    </IfModule>

If there’s existing script inside your .htaccess, just put the code above below it.

insert fix here

Step 3

Save, and upload to replace your current .htaccess. Go to WordPress admin, you should be able to upload your image now.

    You’re a LIFESAVER. This problem has been bugging me since I tried out the first RC of WP 2.5 and was actually the reason I downgraded to 2.3.3 again. I mean, what’s the point of an image gallery if you can’t upload?

    Thanks a LOT! :)

    This method does not work for me. I am working with an upgrade. But that seemed to go smoothly overall. How could this glaring problem exist?

    I think I did this correctly, but it still fails. Would someone be willing to see if I have the .htaccess code correct, if I were to send it? I am adding the revised code using Notepad ++

I was quite happy 2.3.1 to be honest. At least I could upload a simple picture for crying out loud. My 2.5 blogs didn’t even have an .htaccess file. I had to create one for all them. How messed up is that?

    I get the same error as #71 above. The image now “crunches,” but when I try to insert into a post, the error message is:

    For those who get the WordPress login, you may want to look what is the name of the website you used during configuration. I.e. did you use http://www.yourdomain.tld or yourdomain.tld you can find this by going to your admin interface, click on settings under general you will find the: WordPress address URL ; you should logout of your admin area, and login at the EXACT url given in that field.

    This also has to do with some protections on a server; while it is a pain, it might even be worse if these security settings are not in place. Hope this helps!

    why on earth WP’s official DOC didn’t mention this thing ??? heck.. i search around its site.. they just ask me to CHMOD wp-content,upload folder to 777. it didn’t help …

    Did you put the link to the uploaded picture into the custom field called thumbnail? If you don’t know what this is about, read the comments on the site where you got the theme.
    1 you have the create a custom field called thumbnail
    2 with every post you have to select the thumbnail field and put a link into this field which leads to a uploaded image file.
    So first you need to have one or more uploaded images and select the link to one of them in the media library.
    This link you put in the thumbnail field of your posting.

    I have this problem when I switch my server. ( Exabytes ).
    I copy and paste all the code stated by hong kiat and it didnt solve my problem. Than I try another way and I found the solution. Hong Kiat code is correct, is just that some of your original .htaccess code is messing with it. If you already have this file, please add in only this code : SecFilterScanPOST Off , at the last 2nd line. ( before # END WordPress ). This is the complete code I use for my wordpress.

    # BEGIN WordPress

    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteBase /
