How to fix Wordpress 2.5 image upload issue

Posted by Lim on Apr 4th, 08 | Filed under Blogging, Tutorial, Wordpress | 11 Comments

I had upgrade my blogs to Wordpress 2.5, but i found that i can’t upload any image through the new AJAX image uploader. After i search through internet, i found this post, which teach user how to fix this problem.

I believe most of the Wordpress 2.5 users will found this problem when try to upload image using the built-in image uploader, unless you use other blogging tools such as Live Writer.

Basically, this problem is due to the mod_security. The new image uploader has been rejected by mod_security. So, you had to modify the .htaccess file to disable the mod_security. This can be done to insert the code below to your .htaccess file:

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

This is just a temporary fix, i hope Wordpress team can solve this issue as fast as possible. Wordpress users, please upgrade once Wordpress team release new version to fix this problem.

Top Commentators plugin shows a list of visitors who give most comments on your blog during certain duration.

Top commentatorsThere are a few top commentators plugin for Wordpress. Currently, i am using Top Commentators Widget v.0.999 from webgrrrl.net. It works with Wordpress 2.3. As shown in the scrrenshot, it will list out top commentator’s name and the number of comments that he/she posts on my blog.

Why i use Top Commentators plugin? For my readers, if they post comment frequently, their name will appear in the top commentators list, and will bring incoming links and traffic to their website. So, this actually act as a free link exchange program for the top commentators. For me, Top Commentators plugin encourage more readers to join the discussion, as more contribution they make, their link will get higher chance to appear in the list.
