In reply to: An error occurred in the upload. Please try again later.My guess is that this release was rushed to coincide with WordCamp as this “bug” has existed in all RCs. The plugin offered in the sticky post took care of the problem for me. Hopefully, full the good of WordPress, the next revision will include the option to disable the uploader out of the box.

In reply to: 2.5 image uploadFWIW, I contacted my host support about the upload problem. I stated that the only way I could upload in Fx was with permalinks disabled and mod_security enabled for async-upload.
Their reply (although it differs from my experience):
=============
Most likely the “permalink” rewrites are redirecting the Ajax calls to incorrect URLs, and this is why you have problems uploading files with the rewrites enabled. You should check this issue further with the WordPress authors.Uploading with mod_security turned on however appears to be a different problem altogether. In fact, there are no problems to upload an image with mod_security turned ON with Internet Explorer. The upload fails however under Mozilla Firefox, with the following error listed in our logs:
[Mon Mar 31 14:46:18 2008] [error] [client 213.145.98.197] mod_security: Access denied with code 412. Error processing request body: Multipart: final boundary missing [severity “EMERGENCY”] [hostname “test.xxx.com”] [uri “/wp-admin/async-upload.php”]
This error basically means that mod_security found the upload request coming from Firefox to be malformed. This is a generic failure and it is not related to any mod_security rule in particular.
Since uploads from Mozilla pass the mod_security checks just fine in other cases, we suspect that this issue is again related to the Javascript/AJAX uploader that WordPress is using.
So, if you want to use Firefox to work with the current version of the uploading utility, your best choice is to disable mod_security for the async-upload.php file (as listed previously), as well as disable “permalinks”.

In reply to: 2.5 image upload1) OS your WP 2.5 install is on
RedHat Linux2) Version and type of webserver
Apache (version not listed)3) Version of php
PHP5 5.2.54) Do you have an .htaccess file at wp-admin/.htaccess
No5) Do you have .htaccess elsewhere
Root6) Are you password protecting the entire wp-admin directory, or does your host or cpanel have this turned on?

In reply to: 2.5 image uploadThe only way I can get uploads to work on my test install is to turn off permalinks and remove the mod rewrite code from .htaccess (not an option on my other blogs.)

In reply to: 2.5 image uploadThis just keeps getting more bizarre. I’ve found that I can upload video files (avi, mgep and wmv so far), but anything else gives me the “An error occurred in the upload. Please try again later.” message. This goes for images files (gif, jpg), pdf, and mp3 (I did get one mp3 to upload, but that was through the “add video” button.

In reply to: 2.5 image uploadIn addition, I’ve also tried with all plugins deactivated. No go.
Forum: Alpha/Beta/RC
In reply to: 2.5 image uploadI’ve tried all the fixes listed above and in different variations on the new 2.5 (2.5 dev, not RC) and still can’t get an image to upload. I’m a person of only intermediate knowledge/comfort zone at modifying htaccess and such, so if this issue can’t be resolved “out of the box”, I would imagine that people will soon be leaving WP in droves if they can’t perform a simple image upload. Regardless, thanks for all the hard work.

In reply to: RC1 reluctant to publishTwo more posts and it now seems to be working better. Perhaps the cogs need to get oiled up a little to start working.

In reply to: What do you like about 2.5 so far?The image uploader isn’t working yet, but when its fixed, the image alignment ticks will be a way-cool addition.

In reply to: Did the AutoSave and other preview Features get pulled from 2.5?I did see autosave in action. It appeared as “Draft Saved at 3:13:08 pm.” just below the Save and Publish buttons on the sidebar. I don’t think it was triggered until I ventured outside the Post block (when I created a new category.)

In reply to: Solution for 2.3 database errors / wp_post2cat does not existI had this error with no plugins activated. Turns out I had uploaded the wrong wp-config.php file.
Forum: Plugins
In reply to: Table ‘wp_post2cat’ doesn’t existI had a error like the OP while upgrading today. As it turned out, I had uploaded the wrong wp-config.php file (I look after 4 WP istalls.) After replacing with the correct one and a database (re)upgrade, everything’s fine.
Forum: Themes and Templates
In reply to: Where did the link go?Correct. This theme simply doesn’t serve a link within the post area. I’ve since found other problems with this theme that have led me in another direction, but this is a mystery I would like to solve in case I come across it again in the future.

In reply to: Where did the link go?Thanks for the reply, but I’m not sure that CSS is the issue here. After the page is served, there is no link in the source code using this theme.
