Uploading Video Errors

  • Hey,

    I really don’t understand why uploading a video to a webpage is so complicated!!! I’ve been reading plenty of posts and surfing through Google with no clear answer, so I would truly appreciate some real help!

    What I want to achieve is a veyr simple thing:

    Upload an .flv video onto my wordpress page. When I do, the error that it does not meet the guidelines shows up.

    How do I easily just upload this video?

  • Hi,

    Assign 755 recursive permissions to wp-content directory. Also make sure that you have set proper path from wordpress admin area for upload directory.

    Also add this code in htaccess:

    <IfModule mod_security.c>
    SecFilterEngine Off
    SecFilterScanPOST Off
    </IfModule>

    If still you issue not resolved then provide the exact error message which you are receiving at your end.

    Thanks,

    Shane G.

    thankyou for the reply. It still doesn’t work:

    File type does not meet security guidelines. Try another.

    this is how my .htaccess looks now:

    # BEGIN WordPress
    <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteBase /
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
    RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
    </IfModule>

    <IfModule mod_security.c>
    SecFilterEngine Off
    SecFilterScanPOST Off
    </IfModule>

    # END WordPress

    RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^diysolarpower.org$ [OR]
    RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.diysolarpower.org$
    RewriteRule ^diyhotwater$ “http\:\/\/solarworld\.diyhot\.hop\.clickbank\.net” [R=301,L]

    ok my mistake the only thing that “works” is that there is now a link on the page (where I wanted the video to go) that allows you to click and download the flv file.

    how can i just upload the video so that it is on the PAGE so you can press PLAY and watch the video ON THE PAGE

    thanks in advance for any help ??
