    Since upgrading to 2.8 I also can't get the Upload/Insert buttons to work -- clicking on them does absolutely nothing.

    Deactivate all your plugins, switch to the default theme. If the problem goes away, switch back to your theme and activate the plugins one-by-one until the problem happens again.

    It runs normally for thousands of people and site across the globe. You just have a hitch we need to find.

    Since this happens with the default theme and no plugins that gives us some hints. When you hover over the buttons does a url show in your browser like wp-admin/media-upload/etc.

    Also, what browser are you using? Did you try a different one? Could you post your URL?

    hey,

    when I hover over the buttons the URL wp-admin/media-upload/etc comes up yes. Ive tried firefox and IE and my iphone with the new wordpress apps., but notihng works.

    my url would be http://www.tomguez.be/blog/

    Im trying to look into it now, but cant seem to find anything, did I do something wrong in the setup? Though it was really straight forward!!!

    Thank you for helping me...

    Upload to the server the directory WP-admin. You must be missing or have some corrupted files.

    Thanks, Ill do it as soon as I get home...
    Really thank you so much for all your help. And you might be right, cause it really took a long time to upload the file to my server, and some files might have gone missing during that time.

    Thank you...

    Having the same issue on a client site. Uploading anything (jpgs, pdfs, etc) seems to complete fine, but nothing is there, no image, no pdf just the filename and info from the upload - it's like it's uploading to a tmp folder but not getting moved to the final location. I can use uploader in other plugins such as Register Plus logo upload in the same installation and it saves fine. I've re-uploaded all installation files for WP, switched the upload directory, turned off date-based directories, everything suggested in this and other threads. Very baffled what the problem is here.

    Any help/suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

    I think your problem is similar to mine... when you upload pics thru WordPress, does it come up as an X?

    Yep, that is the same issue. Only happening on this one installation, have plenty of others working just fine on a different host, so I'm thinking it's a server issue. I'll let you know if I find out anything.

    I resolved my problem: the folder that i was uploading to wasn't the correct one. I defaulted it and it worked.

    Hi rye_ryu, can you give more details how you solved the problem?

    Thanks!

    Fixed mine as well, turns out the default setting puts the full path to your upload folder in the database, like so

    /data/0/0/19/12/19990/user/32456/htdocs/wordpress2/wp-content/uploads

    even though the Settings > Miscellaneous Panel still only shows

    wp-content/uploads

    So if you update this setting, it changes the default correct absolute path into the wrong relative path which doesn't work.

    I just went into the database and changed the setting for wp_options upload_path to the absolute path and uploads resumed again. You can also just enter your absolute path into the Miscellaneous Panel and it will work as well, but it will always show the relative path here, even though the saved value is absolute.

    Very strange behavior, but it worked!

    Thanks for this fix. I hadn't changed the upload path location from the default. It didn't look like yours but was still a long path. I replaced it with the path you suggested and it worked.

    Thanks for this.

    The last of my hair can stay in. I've only just started using wordpress and this is not what I expected.
