Hi, Takis, and thanks for the response.

All I did was run the update within WordPress for the plug-in. As soon as it had updated, the image links were broken. I have cleared the plug-in’s cache, my browser cache and done a “force refresh” on several browsers – all have the same result, the image links are broken.

I have tried re-saving the settings also. Same result ??

Marked as resolved – ta!

I’m not using this particular plug-in, but having exactly the same problem. On our site, I’ve opted to use “Enable Contributor Uploads” so that Contributors could add featured images, etc.

That in itself works, but try to load a file that’s too large – same as yourself, 99kb limit – and we get the same error.

In other words, looks like it may be an issue within WordPress itself?

Perfection!

The only thing to note for anyone else who finds this of use – I first of all copy/pasted the “corrected” code and received an error when I activated the plug-in. This was due to the “curly” single quotes:

‘/’

I changed these to “straight” quotes:

'/'

… and it worked a treat. THANK YOU!

I was just going to suggest that it would be nice if we could delete these, even if just our own, and this query is top of the list!

So… erm… “me too”. (sorry)

Hey Takis,

A fair question and it’s down to history and file organisation. I’ve got other stuff on the site as well, including a forum, which mean that the wordpress files can’t be placed in the root folder, hence the “wordpress” sub-folder.

I have just double-checked to be certain, but there are no changes to my .htaccess which would cause any problems. I’ve pasted it below for you to double-check. I don’t think there’s anything there of a “security” concern.

The wordpress folder has its own .htaccess file, but it’s empty. The file below is in the root of the site.

Incidentally, in case it makes a difference, I am also using Autoptimize and Comet Cache. Both of these created their own cache folders in the same location as AIfW wishes to put its own, so the folder is definitely accessible.

Sorry to jump in – but I’m having the same issue and happy that I found this as my first search result as I also use Slickr-Flickr!

Mitch, did you manage to get the message to stop appearing? I’ve tested the site and the plug-in works fine. It just complains…

Thanks!

I can confirm that the edits fix the issue. Spent 2 hours checking plug-ins, compatibility and templates before I found this. Grargh!

Panic over, though. Phew.

@li-an – probably… but sadly impossible at work due to our “secure” network. Will have to do it when I get home!

Nate – would I be right in saying that this file can’t be located via the “edit” option within the WordPress plug-ins area? I’d have to go in via FTP to find it?

I just want to check before I go mucking about!

Reginald, I know what you mean about the box not disappearing (unless you save a draft or similar). It happens consistently on one of the computers I use regularly, but not on the other. Strange.

I found a couple, but I’ve stuck with “Crop Thumbnails”. Easy enough to use.

MarkRH – I’ll check out TinyMCE Advanced, thanks. Heard of it, never really had a need for it before.

Just to give a random example of a website which, by Samuel’s statement, is “user unfriendly”: facebook.

OK, so it’s actually pretty bad in places but one thing that’s quite consistent throughout – internal links open in the same tab, external links open in a new one.

Good job facebook’s only a niche site with a handful of users, eh? Apologies if some of you haven’t heard of it…
