Tried everything last night to no avail. This is actually affecting my business if I can’t show images on the w/p site, so if anyone has a clue, please do say. Many thanks.

Bummer, I fixed it, updated something and it’s done it again. Ideas?

edit – I may have been fooled into thinking I’d fixed it by my browser cache or something… Basically on the header upload the image appeared again, then on looking at the site on the same tab the image was retained. New or reloaded tabs outside of linking from the upload form is greeted with blank white canvas… anyway, no more posts unless someone responds/I fix it, promise! ??

Hahaaa. If all else fails check the sticky. I’ve been banging my head against my desk for ages, and there it is.

In case a google search (which is how I found out the solution) brings you to this entry then follow the below –

6. mod_security might be causing problems. Disable it to see if that is the problem. To do this, make an .htaccess file in your wp-admin directory. Add this to it:

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

That will disable mod_security for the upload file receiving code in the wp-admin directory.

FOR THE NONE TECHY – what this means is create a notepad .txt file on your desktop, call it something like access.htaccess, copy/paste the above and stick it in your public_html folder (or root directory).

I had to figure it out myself, so hopefully I’ll save some poor soul the trouble if you find your way. ??
