As many of you may know, that WordPress 2.5 (Brecker) was released on last Sunday, and you must have updgraded your blog to the new 2.5 release. You may’ve notice that WordPress 2.5 built-in image uploader doesn’t let you upload image, if you try to upload image through the new AJAX image uploader. Basically, this problem is due to the mod_security. The new image uploader has been rejected by mod_security. So, you had to modify the .htaccess file to disable the mod_security. This can be done by adding the code below to your .htaccess file:
[html]
SecFilterEngine Off
SecFilterScanPOST Off

I looked in the root of my wordpress file - I don’t see a .htaccess file to edit. I just download the most recent ver of Wordpress 2.5.
So what am I doing wrong?
I’ve looked and tried everything and still cannot upload an image. I get an HTML error message after the crunch…
Jeff, Glad it worked.
@Phyllis, you can upgrade your blog to WordPress 2.5.1. This bug has been fixed in the the release.
I tried your fix and it didn’t work - posted it in the htaccess file. What else can I do. I get - Specified file failed upload test. Also, I went to post on my blog a week ago and all my images were gone - nothing in my media library. Fortunately, my post still contained the images.
Many thanks.
Worked Perfect! Thanks!

Thanks for the solution! Very useful. I have translate it into Spanich and publishe in my blog.
