   I hope this is the right place to share this.

   I have 3 WordPress driven sites that I have upgraded to WordPress 2.5 this week, and I had the same problem that others had, that when I clicked the insert into post button on the media manager, the popup window went white, and stayed there and nothing else happened.

   Having tried all the solutions, and having found it worked now and again seemingly randomly, tonight I discovered a scenario I could reproduce and a fix.

   Typically I have Firefox open on my main website, and then I open one of the other sites in another tab. When the site I am editing is on the second tab (haven't tested further than that) "Insert Image into Post" produces a white popup screen, if I close the first tab I can then insert images perfectly.

   Why this would solve it, I don't know, and this may just be a quirk of my system, but I wanted to share in case its not just me!

   @reviewabc: I'm not sure what your motives are, but there are a few things wrong with them. 1. You don't simply list the solution here which makes me think you're just looking for some traffic (which you got).

   2. You didn't link to any post, just the main blog. So now I have to search through all your posts looking for the solution. This further makes me think you're only looking for traffic.

   3. The attached file can't be downloaded.

   So with all this being said.

   Could someone please help me. I have three blogs, all upgraded at the same time. 2 don't work, one does. I've even hit the deactivate all plugins button.

   WP 2.5 is really turning out to be a pain in the butt.

   Oh man, this is great! It IS because of the tabs. For me, WordPress had to be the ONLY tab.

   Now we have a temp "fix." (THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!)

   But I hope someone will come up with a way to let us upload images while we have other tabs open...

    Having problems uploading images; problem started on Monday. Using WP 2.3.3 as my hosting network hasn't yet made WP 2.5 available. Can't upload images and I've tried several suggestions including turning off plug ins, clearing cache in Safari (running iMac, 10.5.2), installing latest Flash player and downloading Firefox and trying that. None of it works. What gives? Blog's at a standstill because I can't upload photos to the posts. Help!?

    I have somewhat different experiences on that.

    On my site the problem occurs also with the "add link" button (or shift-alt-a on the mac). The window is blank, although I can close it. I also had this behavior with WP 2.4.

    The solution I ran over was: In the blog settings I had http://mysite.tld instead of http://WWW.mysite.tld. Since I changed that, all is sugar.

    BUT NOT QUITE - I was just lucky :-) . I usually edit my wp-admin stuff with https. With HTTPS the window is still blank, with HTTP it works fine.

    Can anyone confirm this, maybe?
