  • Hi all,

    I have been having issues with the Media Manager in WP 2.5.

    1. I can only upload to the specified uploads dir, if I set the chmod to 777, which is a massive security risk of course.

    2. When I use the option of inserting the image in the post, it inserts the wrong URL, in this format:
    http://<myblog>/actual/path/to/file/name
    i.e. http://<myblog>/home/acctname/public_html/blog/wp-contents/uploaddir/filename.jpg

    Sure, I can correct it in HTML mode, but why is this happening in the first place at all? No issues with v 2.3 of WP installs.

    Anyone seeing the same?

    Blog is running on a linux/apache 1.3.37/php 4.4.4 system. I have checked with both FF 2.0.0.13 and IE 7. Also, there is no flash preview that I see in the media gallery. When I click on show, it just shows me the file details…

    Someone help! I like wp 2.5. It would suck to go back to 2.3….

    there is definitely a serious issue with adding images using the new add media option in writing post. I have a completely new fresh install of wp 2.5. I uploaded the pics fine, and I can see them in the Media Library. But when I try to insert the image into the post, it actually inserts the image using the complete file path in the URL (even if you have not mentioned the full path in the misc options), e.g.:

    http://your.blog.com/home/name/path/to/file.jpg

    which obviously is the wrong path to the file. This needs to be addressed asap. If anyone already has a fix for this issue, please do share.

    I am using FF 2.0.0.13 on WinXP SP2, with no addon conflicts. The blog is hosted on a linux cpanel server. I never had issues with any of the previous wp versions..
