Problem with “write posts” editor

    Please help, I’m just entering the 15th hour of trying to fix this.

    As I write a new post, all seems well until an image of the front page appears to the right of the editor. After that the post cannot be saved or published. I have completely reinstalled WordPress 2.5.1 using Fantastico and manually installed 2.6. It happens in IE and Firefox and I’ve tried 3 different computers.

    It usually takes a minute or two before the prob appears – see for yourself-

    Pass: ********

  • Do we all have the podpress plugin installed?

    I went through disactivating/activating my plugins, including podpress and when podpress was deactivated the ability to do a new post in IE7 returned.

    I haven’t added any plug-ins. I assume it doesn’t install with any already included???

    Who or what is pw?

    pw is password – moderator intended to keep you secure.

    There’s nothing in it at present – I just installed it.

    Having spent hours on it, I am now deperate for someone to help with a solution.

    Hmmm… that reminds me of cases where the host set security too sctrict.

    Try uploading a .htaccess file into the wp-admin directory (NOT ate the root!) that contains this:

    <IfModule mod_security.c>
SecFilterInheritance Off
</IfModule>

    Thank you, but exactly how, pls.

    I know how to ftp to the wp-admin directory, but how do I create a .htaccess file?

    Sorry, my knowledge level is LOW

    Notepad.
    Create a new file.
    Copy/paste the code from above. Save.
    Upload to wp-admin/.
    Rename it .htaccess
    Done.

    Thanks I’m on my way

    And until you learn some basic website management… don’t ever cry “bug”.

    Ahh but I got your attention! For which I am VERY grateful.

    It appears you have solved the problem. There just is no substitute for knowledge.

    Thank you very much!

    Ahh but I got your attention!

    Not really. I could have answered this earlier but I usually ignore topics where newbies talk about “bugs”.
