Update Wordpress 2.5 Immediately
Posted on March 29th, 2008
Attention bloggers if you have manually installed WordPress then you should immediately upgrade to 2.5. There are lots of bug fixes to 2.5 but the major difference you will notice is the new navigation and colour scheme of the admin area.
Do not think about it or put it off. Your site is at risk so upgrade now.
For those who installed WordPress with Fantastico,  Netenberg usually has the upgrade released a week or two later. We do post Fantastico updates on the blog so keep an eye open for that.

Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.
Do you not have the image upload problem? I was thinking I solved it with some javascript changes but then thought it might be a server issue. But if it’s working for you…
Assuming you’re using IE, it’s a problem with WordPress 2.5, and has been fixed for 2.5.1. Until then, you can make two small edits in two files, as shown here:

Thanks Matt, I had already done that which fixed Firefox for me but not IE completely (can upload but not insert into a post) for other users whose blogs I take care of. Pretty major problem for some!
I’m able to insert images into posts fine with IE7. What IE and FF versions are you using?
I don’t believe the problem had affected FF, since it worked for me when I tried it. Maybe though.
The latest of both bowsers. Neither worked after initial install, then with the javascript fix Firefox worked but not IE7. IE7 did get a lot better but then we got a white screen on pressing insert – it’s a common problem looking on Wordpress.org forums.
Sounds like it might be related to this:
http://trac.wordpress.org/ticket/6502
Keep an eye on that ticket for a patch to fix it.
Thanks, I’ve managed to fix it. Not quite sure how, but persistence is a wonderful thing! A new version of the flash uploader helped in combination with the other fixes.
Appreciate your help.
