Fixing the HTTP error problem while using WordPress Flash Uploader

The reason for the upload error lies within the mod_security module which is basicly a web application firewall that protects your website from a range of attacks. So you shouldn’t turn off this module as it protects you but you can add a special rule for the flash uploader.

The Solution:

Open the .htaccess file in your website document root and add the following lines:



  
    SecFilterEngine Off
    SecFilterScanPOST Off
  


  
    SecFilterEngine Off
    SecFilterScanPOST Off
  


  
    SecFilterEngine Off
    SecFilterScanPOST Off

This should do it.

    Hey everyone. I’m hoping to meet new friends here so drop me a note when you
    get a chance.

    I hope to make some quality posts soon but first I have to look around the forum and
    familiarize myself with everyone and the forum.

    Bye for now. lol
