   I have been trying to upload images (jpegs) onto my blog, however when I upload them I only get a Red X.

   Does anybody know how to overcome this?

   I had been able to upload them until about a month ago.

   Thanks

   What are the settings that you've got on Admin > Settings > Miscellaneous?

   Store uploads in this folder - blog/wp-content/uploads

   Hi,

   Check with these options:

   -> Upgrade your wordpress to the latest version
   -> Assign 755 recursive permissions to wp-content directory.
   -> Add this code in htaccess:

   <IfModule mod_security.c>
   SecFilterEngine Off
   SecFilterScanPOST Off
   </IfModule>

   Thanks,

   Shane G.

   Looks like images have been added ok in the last few days?

   Might be worth disabling your plugins to see if one of those is screwing things up or has a dodgy setting (have a think about any plugins you might've updated recently).

   They appear in the directory - not sure how as they get loaded with a Red X..

   I just linked to one and posted a new entry on blog...

   Can you see what's happening with it?

    Forget that last comment - I went into the HTML and overwrote what had been put in on the upload and it now works...

    Thanks for al the ideas.

    Cool... nice one.

    You do have:
    http://www.martin-spence.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/
    and
    http://www.martin-spence.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/

    So I think I'd be tempted to stick with one and try changing the Store Uploads setting in Settings > Miscellaneous to just wp-content/uploads

    I've tried uploading pictures to the media gallery in a post and normally when it uploads completely, there's a small thumbnail on the left side that shows the picture. Only today, I tried to upload a picture and it went through, but the thumbnail does not show up. I tried adding it to the post anyway and the picture size comes up, but no picture shows, all that shows up in the thumbnail and post is the size of the picture with a little note icon and a red X on it. I tried it on a seperate website because i thought it may be a server issue, but it worked fine on that website. Which tells me there's a wordpress issue. I haven't changed anything in my settings, I just woke up this morning and the pictures wouldn't upload. I've read many forums about this issue and alot of them said that they've been getting this recently and it ended up being a wordpress issue with the path to the WordPress Image Uploader, is there anyway I can fix this?

    Thanks,

    MKRob
