  Hi, have logged in today to find I can’t post anything except text… when I click ‘insert to post’ in the media library I just get a blank screen… nothing appears on the post. This was working fine when I last used wordpress (friday). Have tried using IE explorer and firefox. What’s wrong? Please help!

  Thanks

  Have you tried doing that in the Visual (vs. HTML) tab?

  Hmmm…I just tried and it worked okay for me. Are you inserting an image that was already IN your Media Library, or are you trying to upload NEW image and then selecting Insert To Post? The reason I ask is because there are apparently a LOT of issues right now uploading images (see the sticky on the front page of Forums). Unfortunately that’s all I can think of (and I am by far an expert).

  First, go to http://www.adobe.com and download and install the latest version of Shockwave flash in your browser. Since the new image uploading and inserting function is shockwave flash based, it is important to have the latest version. Do it for both browsers. Restart your browser afterward.

  Then, while logged out, clear your browser cache, close it and restart it.

  On uploading an inserting images, review these blog posts: http://onecoolsite.wordpress.com/2008/04/08/uploading-and-inserting-image-with-the-new-wordpresscom/
