An error occurred in the upload. Please try again later

April 24th, 2008 Submitted by: Adrian

An issue I have been having lately with the introduction and installation of the Wordpress 2.5 is a problem with the Media Upload function. This problem is not exactly linked to the type of browser used (IE or Firefox.. though probable) but rather due to a Web Hosting server setting. In order to get everything working as per normal, I had to (change some of the scripts so that it works for IE) more importantly have the following line of codes inserted to the .htaccess file in the root folder of my the wordpress installation.

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

Once the above lines were inserted, my error of “An error occurred in the upload. Please try again later” was instantly resolved. I wonder how WP is going to fix this issue in their next release. Hopefully it would have more bug fixes but so far, I’m enjoying this 2.5 version. Posting has been an increased joy so far.
