No More Photos

Looks like maybe I won’t be able to post photos on this blog anymore.

For whatever reason, the upload feature in WordPress is not working. The Flash uploader does not work. The browser uploader does not work.

I tried replacing the Flash uploader with a new copy, but that didn’t make a difference.

The only way that I can get a picture up here is to FTP it to the site, but then I can’t put it in my media library, so there’s more manual work involved.

And, if I have to go through that amount of manual work to put up a blog post, why even use WordPress? Might as well do a straight HTML blog.

Maybe this is another bad sign. As I previously mentioned, I’ve been trying to reach 1000 days of consecutive daily blogging. I hit 500 last year. I don’t hit 1000 until December 27th of this year.

If I can’t have pictures, you may have to deal with boring, pictureless blog posts for the rest of the year. And, if uploading pictures isn’t back to working by then, it’ll probably be sionara to WordPress, because I’m not going to continue to fight the blasted thing.

Upload to Photobucket! They write the code so you don’t have to

The code’s not the problem; I always tweak WP’s code anyway. It’s the upload failure that’s the trouble spot.

Augh that stinks- I am always very wary of wordpress updates… I wonder if this is going around.

It worked that last time I uploaded an image, and I haven’t made any changes since then. Bizarre.

I noticed on my blog tonight when I uploaded my pictures that they did not link to the larger pictures as they usually do. When you click on them they don’t go anywhere- that kind of irritated me. I wonder what gives with wordpress lately?

I’m down to 9 WordPress blogs now, and I am going to be shutting down two of them soon. It’s reaching the point where WP may be just more frustration than it’s worth.

Did you try disabling your plugins to find the offending plugin that was not compatible? I heard that works.
