 * I’m currently having a problem with regards to uploading images via the Flash
   Uploader of WordPress 2.6. Everytime I do uploading, I always got an “HTTP Error”
   message. It tried to fix it using a certain code which will be put on the .htaccess
   file. However, it didn’t work.
 * Does someone know how to fix this thing?
 * I just don’t want to use the Browser Uploader ’cause it sucks.
 * Please>>>

 * I have the same error, even though it was working well before. Some people found
   this is a Mac flash problem: [http://www.chewie.co.uk/general/wordpress-image-upload-http-error/](http://www.chewie.co.uk/general/wordpress-image-upload-http-error/)
   but for me it’s just weird.

 * I read that (responding here since it is closed)
 * I have flash 10… At what point will WP catch up to flash 10?

 * Probably not for a long time. Adobe broke important functionality with Flash 
   10, and there is no simple fix. Flash 10 breaks LOTS of websites, so we recommend
   not upgrading to it at this time. If you already have, uninstall it and install
   the older Flash 9 instead.

 * I was attempted to blog this morning and when uploading pictures in the browser
   uploader i get this error
 * Fatal error: Out of memory (allocated 52428800) (tried to allocate 10172 bytes)
   in /home/mingo/public_html/wp-content/plugins/watermark/wm_functions.php on line
   57
 * Im not that computer savvy.. so i deavtivated the watermark plugin and tried 
   again
 * then i get this error
    Fatal error: Call to undefined function mm_execute_wm()
   in /home/mingo/public_html/wp-admin/includes/media.php on line 131
 * When I use the flash loader I get an http error.
 * Im confused as to what to do. Can someone offer any suggestions?
 * It has been working fine until today.

 * Errr… There is no such text as “mm_execute_wm” anywhere in the whole of WordPress.
   This is definitely something related to the Watermark thing.
 * Did you change any of your core files, like his installation instructions say
   to do? ( [http://www.wp-watermark.com/installation](http://www.wp-watermark.com/installation)).
   If so, then put a fresh copy of WordPress on your site.
 * You’ll have to deal with the plugin’s author to fix the problem.
 * Also, good plugins never require you to modify core files.

 * Hey Otto42,
 * I have read the post you linked to and none of those issues seem to be the problem
   for two of my macs running flash 9. The only way i could upload images was with
   the the flash uploader disabled. I don’t have a clue what could be specifically
   causing it though.

 * I had the problem with HTTP error showing up for uploading with the media uploader(
   wordpress 2.8.3, flash 10).
 * Justlike dwightk, I created an .htaccess file and placed these contents within:
 *     ```
       <IfModule mod_security.c>
       SecFilterEngine Off
       SecFilterScanPOST Off
       </IfModule>
       ```
   
 * Saved it, and uploaded it to the wp-admin folder.
    Problem fixed.
