2.1 Image Insertion

  • I have 3 blogs, on the same server. All are now WP 2.1

    1. A test blog, that I used to run WP2.1 through my themes – Using either of my 2 themes I can insert links & images with the RTE fine.

    Blog 2 I can also insert images & links fine.

    Blog 3, using Firefox I get a blank box when I try to insert images/links and it won’t go away-you have to navigate away from the ‘write’ page to get rid of it. It works fine in IE.

    What could be causing this? I can set up my test blog so it is identical to blog 3, have them open in adjacent FF tabs and one can insert images, the other can’t.

    I have been searching the forum, tried all the suggested fixes & nothing works. Weirder still, is that Blog 3 worked fine for a couple of days, and with 0 changes on my part just stopped working – literally 1 post was fine, the next 2 minutes later, this problem occurred.

    ???

    Clear your browser cache and try to load the admin pages again. Really. Also try hitting CTRL-F5 when on the write page.

    If that fails, make sure all the files in wp-includes and wp-admin actually got upgraded to the latest versions on the blog.

    I’ve tried the cache & full refresh with no effect.

    Am I OK to re-upload the includes & admin files without running upgrade.php again? Or should I be more selective – i.e. just the javascript files?

    Thanks.

    No, you’re okay to reup the files. No need to run upgrade unless you’re actually upgrading.

    Thanks Otto, I’ll give it a try.

    The weird thing is, it’s sporadic: It’ll work for one post, then not for the next. Inserting links will work, but images won’t etc.

    It’s completely fine in IE though, so it has to be linked to FF, but as for why only on one blog out of 3 I don’t know…

    Hey there

    We’re having a similar problem with our image insertion box. When one of our guys tries to upload an image, and clicks on the upload button, he gets a blank box. He’s using FireFox. And when on a PC and IE, he can’t see the text for his post in the editor.

    The funny thing is, none of this happens to me, and I use all kinds of browsers.

    Where you able to solve your problem?

    No, nothing works. Maybe once in 15 tries, insert image works in FF, but is fine in IE.

    On my other 2 blogs, it works fine in FF all the time.

    I just don’t understand how this is possible ??

    Well, turns out the bug has hit me. Now I can’t upload images while using FF. When I click on the button to edit the image, I get a blank box and it won’t go away.

    It worked on an Opera browser, haven’t tested in IE.

    I’ve read somewhere this is actually a Javascript / FireFox issue.

    True??

    Wonder if a fix was found for this? I’m having the same problem.

    I was having the same problem with image insertion, on a fresh installation of 2.3.1 (not an upgrage), and with no plugins installed. I found a solution in the code that was appearing in the code editor window: unlike the previous version, this version of WordPress was automatically inserting an image size of 1X1 whenever you didn’t specify dimensions in the “image insertion” window (the previous version would default to the actual dimensions of the image). Thus, it was displaying a tiny dot, a 1X1 version of the image–nearly invisible. I just specified dimensions in the “image insertion” window and voila, the image appeared!

    I imagine there’s a code fix for this, to make the image insertion window default to the actual image dimensions–but I leave those things to the more code-adept! ;D
