Wordpress 2.5 - HTTP Error When Uploading Images - Firefox



April 27, 2008 – 4:53 pm | by jaygaulardcom



Well, I hate to say it, but we may have a picture”less” blog here. I have been having trouble uploading into this version of Wordpress (2.5 and 2.5.1).

Before we moved, everything was fine. After we moved, I remember starting up the computer and wanted me to install the recently downloaded upgrade, so I did. Since then, I haven’t been able to upload any into Wordpress. When I try, either it continues to say, “crunching” or I get an error that says, “HTTP error.”

Just to see what would happen, I tried to upload by using (IE) on my laptop. Everything worked fine. This leads me to believe it’s an issue between and Wordpress 2.5.

Any suggestions are welcome.

By the way, I just upgraded to the latest version of Wordpress and the problem persists.

    Have you tried using a wordpress plug-in to upload pictures? Fred and I use Flexible Upload and it seems to work with Firefox. If it doesn’t work, I’ll ask around.

    I am having issues uploading images larger than 2MB. I made all the changes to the php files but it still tells me I can’t upload more than 2MB and I have it set for 25MB…. I know an apache restart would do the trick, but since I don’t solely own the server I am on I can’t get my host to do it on a whim. Was told that it does get done usually once a week and it’s been 2 weeks now, so we’ll see. PHP info shows that the upload_max_filesize is 25MB.

    Also, I don’t quite get the same error as you Jay, but instead of reading me the error about the file size in the progress bar, it’s jammed in the background and unreadable in IE. FireFox shows is squished to the right, so something definitely up with the 2.5.1 release and uploading images. I had no issue besides the restriction size in 2.5

    Jay, I’ve written a plugin to fix this error as it was driving me mad, not to mention causing lots of problems for people who aren’t able to upload stuff via http://FTP.

    Check out my plugin here: http://lud.icro.us/wordpress-plugin-image-upload-http-error-fix/

    Flexible Upload worked since my host doesn’t allow me to use the mod_security fix.
