 * Automatically upgraded to version 3.0.3 last week, since then am unable to insert
   pictures into post, or update any old post with a picture included.
 * The site is [http://www.carriessweetlife.com](http://www.carriessweetlife.com)
 * I have tried re-installing the version automatically.
    Tried uploaded by url 
   and gallery as well as update old post Deactived all plug-ins Changed theme
 * It uploads and displays thumbnail, but when you click to insert you get the error
   get a no results page from the site as if trying to search ” No Results
 * Sorry, but you are looking for something that is not here.
 * Try using the Search.”
 * Any suggestions on fixing this issue. Thank you.

 * It seems like this could be a scripting error but I am not seeing any other posts
   on this. Firefox yeilds the image upload box changing to the search from the 
   site with nothing there. I.E. goes to a new page with can not find. So it’s something
   where once you click insert or post it is not generating a post.

 * Try re-uploading all files & folders – **except** the wp-content folder – from
   a **fresh** download of WordPress.

   the next patch.

 * Save location is good. Seems like the issue is it’s trying to create a page or
   a temp page to display before it creates one and it’s not able to do so. So it
   ends up with a search for nothing because it can’t create anything. That or instead
   of inserting an image it is doing a search on button click.

 * This is from my dad who managed to sort this out in a few hours. response is 
   from hosting company at host nine.
 * Issue: WP 3.0.3 fails when inserting an image into a post.
 * Description: When attempting to insert an image from any source, e.g. gallery,
   media library, from computer or from URL, WP 3.0.3 failed to insert the image.
   After clicking the “Insert into Post” button, WP returned a dialog window with
   an HTTP 404 or 406 error.
 * Steps taken:
 * 1. Auto upgrade to 3.0.3
 * 2. Manual re-install of 3.0.3
 * 3. Manual install of new, clean instance of 3.0.3
 * 4. Automated install of 3.0.3 via Fantastico
 * In all cases, WP 3.0.3 media-upload.php module failed when attempting to insert
   an image into a post.
 * Solution:
 * – hosting company server admin intervention required
 * – server admin description of fix: “Mod_security was causing the issue so I disabled
   it on your domain.”
