WordPress 2.5 media uploader problems



After upgraded to 2.5 version. Theres one problem with the new media upload function. When using FIrefox 2 and you try to upload a picture or video, it says in the image uploader “An error occurred in the upload. Please try again later”.

After doing some researches in the official WordPress forum, I found out I am not alone. This problem was caused by the server apache mod_security has been turned on and blocked the media uploader. If you do not have the permission to turn it off, you can turn in off by file basics by adding the following codes to your .htaccess file.

SetEnvIfNoCase Request_URI ^Your-Wordpress-Path/wp-admin/async-upload.php$ MODSEC_ENABLE=Off

Obviously you need to change the “You-WOrdpress-Path” to your installation path name such as “WordPress/” or “/” . This should solved the all the problems.
