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.
