Be sure that you uploaded all the files. Really. Triple check them. * [kirblam](https://wordpress.org/support/users/kirblam/) * (@kirblam) * [18 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/25-image-insert-problem-not-image-upload/#post-736698) * Hey Otto42 I have the same issue but a little more info the issue only happens when my admin screens are accessed over https. And it was a fresh install. I disabled all my plugins – I did have Admin SSL installed. And the issue still occurs. I can add the ‘s’ into the protocol (in the browser bar) and see it break, take out the ‘s’, refresh and see it work. * BTW, it’s also kind of weird that the login stays valid when you’re switching http protocols. Most apps I’ve seen require another login. * I also applied changeset_r7573 * thx, K * [kirblam](https://wordpress.org/support/users/kirblam/) * (@kirblam) * [18 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/25-image-insert-problem-not-image-upload/#post-736700) * Here’s what safari reports Unsafe JavaScript attempt to access frame with URL [https:///wp-admin/post.php?action=edit&post =794 from frame with URL [http:///wp-includes/ js/tinymce/plugins/media/media.htm. Domains, protocols and ports must match. * I’m assuming Firefox is complaining about the same thing, just not as reader friendly: uncaught exception: Permission denied to get property Window.tinymce[ Break on this error] undefined this.params has no properties [Break on this error] var v = this.params[n]; tiny_mce_popup.js (line 47) tinyMCEPopup.editor has no properties [Break on this error] var themeBaseURL = tinyMCEPopup.editor.baseURI. toAbsolute(‘themes/’ + tinyMCEPop… * Thanks, K * [wmmead](https://wordpress.org/support/users/wmmead/) * (@wmmead) * [18 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/25-image-insert-problem-not-image-upload/#post-736723) * I am also having this problem. Does it work for anyone? Or is it related to only certain installations of wordpress? * -Bill * [gspx](https://wordpress.org/support/users/gspx/) * (@gspx) * [18 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/25-image-insert-problem-not-image-upload/#post-736741) * This problem just showed up on my photoblog installation, after HostGator fixed another problem. I just migrated to a new domain, and it ‘happened’. I know all the files are fresh, I uploaded them myself less than an hour ago. * [tkowalick](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tkowalick/) * (@tkowalick) * [17 years, 12 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/25-image-insert-problem-not-image-upload/#post-736750) * I just uploaded all new wp-admin, wp-includes and tried all the .htaccess suggestions. * I can upload files fine, however I cannot “insert into post”.

The problem happens on both IE7.0 and FF2.0 * Nikosk suggests making a change in the wp-admin/js/media-upload.js file. * My file does not have “tinyMCE = win.tinyMCE” anywhere in it. Nor is “win.” anywhere in the file. * Is Nikosk fix for versions prior to v2.6 or do I have an older version of media- upload.js? * Without this fix, I’m unable to add images to posts. Any help would be appreciated. * Thanks, Joe * [jjtiziou](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jjtiziou/) * (@jjtiziou) * [17 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/25-image-insert-problem-not-image-upload/#post-736800) * I’m having this same problem on wp2.6.1, and have the same problem with “insert into post” – * wish I could use nikosk’s suggested fix, but line six of my media-upload.js looks like: ed.selection.moveToBookmark(tinymce.EditorManager.activeEditor.windowManager. bookmark); * Sadly I’m not too great with this stuff, but would muchly appreciate any tips. Right now, the insert into post button just gives me my site’s custom error page in the floating box. * thanks! -jj * [jjtiziou](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jjtiziou/) * (@jjtiziou) * [17 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/25-image-insert-problem-not-image-upload/#post-736801) * Ok, so paying attention to this support thread: * [http://wordpress.org/support/topic/164999?replies=1](http://wordpress.org/support/topic/164999?replies=1) * solution #6, with mod_security ended up solving the problem… * here’s the answer: * mod_security might be causing problems. Disable it to see if that is the problem. To do this, make an .htaccess file in your wp-admin directory. Add this to it: SecFilterEngine Off SecFilterScanPOST Off That will disable mod_security for the upload file receiving code in the wp- admin directory.
