Title: multiple image upload isn’t working Last modified: August 19, 2016 --- # multiple image upload isn’t working * [lightchaser](https://wordpress.org/support/users/lightchaser/) * (@lightchaser) * [18 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/multiple-image-upload-isnt-working/) * I just installed 2.5 a few minutes ago hoping to upload my first album or gallery, but when I tried to upload images, I couldn’t find the option to upload multiple images. * I tried clicking on the browse button and I could only select one file. No amount of Ctrl-clicking, Shift-clicking, clicking & dragging, or selecting with the keyboard would get me more than one file uploaded at a time. * , my dialog still showed the old text box + “Browse” button + “Upload” button. * I’m pretty frustrated here – this was the one feature I was excited about in WP2.5 and I can’t use it. Can anybody help me? Thanks!

Updating Flash didn’t do anything. * I’m running FF on XP, btw. * Come on… doesn’t anybody have other suggestions? * [sadeadu](https://wordpress.org/support/users/sadeadu/) * (@sadeadu) * [18 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/multiple-image-upload-isnt-working/#post-721492) * Same problem here… * [christian-s](https://wordpress.org/support/users/christian-s/) * (@christian-s) * [18 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/multiple-image-upload-isnt-working/#post-721504) * Hi, I had similar problem with multiupload. I used the WordPress Auto Update plugin and when I tried to use the multiupload function in the Media Library I didn’t have the same dialogbox as PhotoMatt has in his video. I had a browse button for uploading files that would only allow me to select one file at a time. * I then did the upgrade old skool style and simply delete the relevant wordpress files and updated my site my uploading the WP 2.5 files via ftp. * Now I get the correct dialogbox that looks just like the PhotoMatt video. * However it’s still broken as I get an “HTTP error”, “An error occurred in the upload. Please try again later.” when ever I try to upload one or several pictures. This happens at the picture “Crunching…” stage. * I’m using Windows XP with Firefox 2.0.13 on my PC. My site is hosted at site5. com * I would be nice if the error message would be a bit more explanatory. I could be a permissions problem but I doubt it as the upload worked earlier. * [christian-s](https://wordpress.org/support/users/christian-s/) * (@christian-s) * [18 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/multiple-image-upload-isnt-working/#post-721507) * Just found out that in my case de-activating Bad Behaviour helps. Now the multi upload of pictures works for me. * [ChaosDrgn](https://wordpress.org/support/users/chaosdrgn/) * (@chaosdrgn) * [18 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/multiple-image-upload-isnt-working/#post-721543) * I’ve used Firefox, IE and Safari all and nothing is doing it for me. On Win XP and even deleted everything and started with a fresh copy of WordPress. * [salthouse](https://wordpress.org/support/users/salthouse/) * (@salthouse) * [18 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/multiple-image-upload-isnt-working/#post-721548) * Had same issue in IE7. Have a look at Change set 7573 [#7573](http://trac.wordpress.org/changeset/7573) * I edited two files (removed 1 comma in each file )and Gallery fully functional in Browsers. IE7, Safari 3.4, Opera 9.2 ,FF2.13 and SeaMonkey 1.1.18. * [CaptainBlue](https://wordpress.org/support/users/captainblue/) * (@captainblue) * [18 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/multiple-image-upload-isnt-working/#post-721579) * No those changes didn’t give me the multi-upload facility in IE7/XPProSP2 * [jaynee](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jaynee/) * (@jaynee) * [18 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/multiple-image-upload-isnt-working/#post-721580) * Me either. I got rid of the commas and STILL have a non-functioning image uploader. * [CaptainBlue](https://wordpress.org/support/users/captainblue/) * (@captainblue) * [18 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/multiple-image-upload-isnt-working/#post-721581) * Also not working in the latest version of Firefox on the PC… * [Laura](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mitten/) * (@mitten) * [18 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/multiple-image-upload-isnt-working/#post-721583) * Not working in Firefox or Safari on OSX 10.5.2.
