Stuck on UPLOADING 100%

Strange – let me know if you ever figure out what the difference is – is the file name different, does it have any special characters in the name (e.g. !@#$%^&*()_+) does it only happen to a particular file type etc.

I’ve had uploads stuck at 100% in the past, but not sure if it was with my test code or the producation plugin.

There is a difference with plugins – they’re passed through a image processor to shrink/compress them – so maybe that’s what’s breaking?

I have had this problem on one of my site. but i noticed that it is happened for the special character on file name.
It will be better ovann86 add some code to replace special chars.
User will not understand if their files are uploaded or not.

There’s error handling for files that cannot be uploaded if they’re too large or not an accepted filetype – but I dont think extends to upload errors. something deffinately worth investigating.

The code already accounts for special characters and encodes/decodes the stored values at the required times. But what I need are specific examples where this hasn’t worked. The problem could be more to do with the folder or URL path that is being used, or possibly other JavaScript that is running on the page.

It’s the old issue of knowing something may be wrong, but not being able to do anything until you can reproduce it reliably.

Let me know if you ever figure it out and I’ll look more into it, but for now I havent seen being stuck at 100% for months.

Maybe a very least I can add in some error handling so if it is at 100% for more than … 4 seconds, an error message appears and the upload field is returned?

On the topic of being stuck at 100% upload.

I just experienced this, consitently every download would get stuck at 100%. I loaded up Firefox and firebug, and looked at the post and the returned message and saw a ‘headers already sent’ message that was referring to another plugin I was working on that had a PHP error.

If you’re experiencing uploads being stuck at 100% every time I suggest you do the same check, or at very least disable as many plugins as you can, and even try another theme to rule out errors in other parts of your wordpress install.
