Wordpress 2.5: Crunching Error

Tuesday ,April 8,2008 381 views admin

This entry is for those who has troubles when uploading media file (from picture to music and video) with the media Upload tool of Wordpress 2.5.

Symtom:

After choosing file to upload, a crunching error message appears along with the Dismiss button. This is really annoying because the Upload Tool of Wordpress 2.3 worked perfectly.

How to Solve:

After seeking the problem on the internet, I came accross a method that really works for me. This is how it’s done:

01.Add these line to the .htaccess file on your root directory.

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

02.Be sure chmod setting for the Uploads folder is 755

03.Go to your Wordpress Admin then Settings - Misc. Set ‘Store uploads in this folder’ to: wp-content/uploads and leave Full URL path to files blank.

04.Back to the Media Upload Tool and test. Done!

I hope this will help you out a lot with the annoying Crunching Error of Wordpress 2.5.
