Exploring The Internet

After upgrading to WordPress 2.5/WordPress 2.5.1, I couldn’t upload any pictures anymore. When I clicked on Add an Image/Choose File from the editor, a window showed up: From Computer; HTTP error… An error occurred in the upload. Please try again later. See the screenshot below:

This was so frustrated since I uploaded pictures a lot. After a couple days of searching on the Internet, I finally found a solution to this problem. Hopefully you can be benefited by this too if you have the same problem like this. Just follow the steps below to fix this problem:

• Using FireFTP to download your .htaccess from your WP folder to your PC (Personal Computer). If you don’t have FireFTP, then use whatever FTP you have.

• Edit your .htaccess file by inserting the following codes:

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

• See the highlighted portion of the codes that I inserted in my .htaccess file:

# BEGIN WordPress <IfModule mod_rewrite.c> RewriteEngine On RewriteBase /blog/ RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d RewriteRule . /blog/index.php [L] </IfModule> <IfModule mod_security.c> <Files async-upload.php> SecFilterEngine Off SecFilterScanPOST Off </Files> </IfModule> } # END WordPress

• Make sure you save the .htaccess file

• After you’ve done that, upload .htaccess file back to WP folder

• Log in to your WordPress Dashboard; you should not have problem to upload your images now
