Wordpress 2.5 image upload error fixed

Posted on 04. Apr, 2008 by miguel in technology

If you’re using Wordpress 2.5, the latest version released just a week ago, you’ll find a very useful toolbar when writing a new post. The Add media lets you insert/upload images, videos and sounds to your post easily.

But you might encounter some problems when trying to upload an image for the first time. The Choose File tabs will show you error messages:

• HTTP error.
• An error occurred in the upload. Please try again later.

Don’t try again later! :) Just add the following lines to the .htaccess file located in the root directory of your web server.

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

Add these lines below the existing code.
