# Can´t insert image

 * Hi, I am working with wordpress 3.05 Unfortunately I can´t insert any image in
   my posts. I can upload them but when it comes to actually insert them the process
   fails (blank popUP). A strange detail: Everything I upload ends up in the “Galery”.
   But even from there I can´t insert it into the post.
 * Please help,
    Thanks, Demian

 * I am having a problem uploading images too with 3.05.
 * Here is a workaround to try.
 * After importing the image I get a little blue box with a question mark in it.
   
   I click the edit button under the little blue box and the image appears. I rotate
   the image and then return it upright. I now can save the image and post it as
   usual.

 * Hi RAC, Thanks for your reply. Now: I don´t get any blue box with a question 
   mark. I can upload it correctly (is importing something else?) but in the last
   step when it should insert it into the post the PopUp window stays blank and 
   nothing happens.
 * Another Blog I have that still is running on WordPress 3.0 does not have this
   problem. (Already thinking about downgrading 😉
 * Thanks,
    Demian

 * Here is another thing to try. My ISP (A2 Hosting) had trouble the past two days
   that affected image uploading. This is their advice as posted today:
 * Symptom:
    In WordPress Admin -> Add Post, you insert an image, but the uploaded
   image appears as a broken link in the body of your post.
 * Fix:
    -In cPanel’s File Manager go to the document root directory for the domain
   in question. For primary domain this is public_html -Set wp-content/uploads/ 
   and all its subdirectories to 755 permissions. You can do this by highlighting
   the directory, then right-click on the highlighting and choose Change Permissions.-
   Set images within these directories to 644 permissions. This will likely only
   need to be done within: wp-content/uploads/2011/02
 * Then test making a post with an image again.
 * I will be trying this later tonight.
