Can’t insert picture in post with 2.5

  • I have been trying to insert an uploaded picture into a post since I (locally) installed 2.5 RC1. (Now upgraded to 2.5)
    I have no problems uploading my pictures, but then it seems to go wrong.
    I hit the add Media -> add a picture-button, then I choose the ‘Media library’ where I choose the picture I want.
    Title, caption and description are already entered, I chose to have no link, choose the alignment and size I want, hit ‘insert to post’, and then the middle of the ‘greybox’ turns white, and nothing else happen. When I close the graybox, by hitting on ‘x’, (which is the only thing I can do), nothing has changed to my post…

    Maybe (as a non-english-speaking user) there is something I misunderstood, but when that’s so, it should be made a little bit easier.

  • I got mine working!

    My problem was that I could upload but when inserting to a post, I got a blank screen. The funny thing was it was only happening on my laptop. All my other PC’s were working fine.

    What I did:
    I dont know exactly what fixed it, but I can tell you exactly what I did just before I got it working after a whole day wasting trying to fix it:
    1. Changed the permalink by adding “www” in front of the domain name
    2. Logged in once via the log in link in index.php

    Now I can log in using the wp-login.php and it works fine now. Like I said, dont know what the fix is but thats what got mine working.

    Hope that helps others coz I wasted a freakn day getting it to work!

    I tweaked the solution from this guy as referenced above.

    Change
    Files async-upload.php
    to
    Files media-upload.php

    Seems to be working now.

    I found that my problem came with my WordPress address (URL) having uppercase letters, and apparently PHP does not like that. I suggest making sure that the URL is all lowercase. It fixed my site, who knows, it could fix yours.

    Janathantech’s solution worked for me. I am running WP 2.6.2 and i changed my domain from everythingHDTV.com to everythinghdtv.com in the General Settings and it worked like a charm! thanks!

    The cause of my problem:

    The configuration we’re running is from behind a reverse proxy, which means that although you request from https://www.a.com, the site actually resides at https://www.b.com.

    Turns out that some times it would forward us to https://www.a.com:1234, and other times to https://www.a.com (ie: without the port number).

    This was creating X-Domain issues with TinyMCE, as the domains AND ports have to be the same.

    Manually typing in https://www.a.com (deleting the port info) fixed the problem.

    WP 2.6.3 here, same problem with XP or Vista, both IE7 and FF3. Safari on my mac also does the same thing. Upload works but as soon as I try to post the image to the page I get the usual blank ajax box. This problem has not been completely fixed even in WP v2.6.3

    I’ve completed all the steps in the sticky about this WP problem but nothing fixes it.

    I was able to fix the issue by doing the following.

    * Deleting the /uploads/js-cache/ folder (it’ll be recreated)
    * Clearing browser cache
    * Logging out, logging out

    I also modified the domain name in the settings to have only lowercase letters in it, as opposed to ProperNoun.com I switched to propernoun.com. Not sure if that had an effect on it.

    Previous to this I was having the white screen problem after hitting “insert into post” in 2.6.3 randomly. I was getting errors in FF that included permission denied to “location.to_string” and “Window.send_to_editor”. Presumably that was a result of something gone wrong in the tinymce javascript cache.

    Worked for me – WordPress 2.7.1 – thanks!
