  • @jwrobbs Try going to your settings page. In the sidebar navigation there is a link to ‘media’. Click on that and you’ll have the option to change it.

    I would imagine the problem is similar (or the same) as these posts:

    The uploaders (both of them) are broken. You can only use the browser uploader if security is left wide open, and you can only use the flash uploader if you are a magician (and security is left wide open).

    Hey, WP developers, why not make this easier for everyone?

    And I really don’t like having any folders on my website set to 777, especially, when using php.

    The thing that gets me is that there is NO OFFICIAL RESPONSE to this very prevalent and highly annoying problem. And what’s worse is that there is NO OFFICIAL SOLUTION. The only solution anybody can come up with is disabling any kind of security on your web directories.

    How can I pass off a website to a client and expect them to know how to change permissions on a directory just to upload photos?

    I am running permissions of 775 on the root directory and on the wp-content directory. And I am running with the permissions of 777 on my uploads directory. That will allow me to upload images using the browser uploader, but the Flash uploader is still not working.

    So far, I have been using a Mac to upload files. I tried my wife’s laptop (running Vista) and instead of immediately giving me the ‘HTTP Error.’ (thanks for the descriptive error message, guys) Vista popped a dialogue box asking me to authenticate the process. This never happened on the Mac. And in looking at the logs it seems like I am still getting a 401 when it’s trying to post the files.

    "POST /wp-admin/async-upload.php HTTP/1.1" 401 - "-" "Adobe Flash Player 9"

    This is driving me batty! I cannot believe that there isn’t a huge thread about this seemingly, amazingly huge error when uploading files. I am using a bone-stock installation of version 3.

    I have tried with Safari 5 and Firefox 3.6.4 on the Mac running both Flash player 10.1 and the last version of 9. And now I have tried Firefox 3.5.x with Flash player 9 on Vista.

    That doesn’t solve the problem @vingupta3.

    I am having this exact same issue with brand new installation of WP3. And it happens with the downloaded tarball and the svn checkout versions.

    I tried adding:

    AddType x-mapp-php5 .php

    All that did was wig out the admin area. Php code was visible, none of the styling was set, in short, it destroyed the back end.

    I also added:

    <IfModule mod_security.c>
    <Files async-upload.php>
    SecFilterEngine Off
    SecFilterScanPOST Off
    </Files>
    </IfModule>

    No dice. This didn’t help at all.

    Can somebody please shed some light on what is going on here. This seems like a major bug that has never been fixed since v2.5.

    Bump. I have tried searching, but this search on this forum isn’t very helpful. And I can’t find anybody by googling whose done a proper review of either plugin.

    But then how would I add a title for the link?

    Same thing here. What gives?
