HTTP Error: WordPress Media Image Uploader Issue [Fix]

While working on a client site today I was uploading an Image and it was giving HTTP 404 error. We have not played with any major settings or added any new plugin which can trigger HTTP 404 error.

While search for help forum and discussion forum I found a useful solution to this problem:

All you need to do is add this line of codes into your .htaccess file

<IfModule mod_security.c>
SecFilterEngine Off
SecFilterScanPOST Off
</IfModule>

This will resolve the issue and you can start using WordPress media uploader without any issue. For me Image uploader stucked at Crunching state and gave me 404 error.

Do let us know if this solution helped you or not.

This solution also worked for Windows live writer uploading issue. if you use Windows live writer to write post and while submitting your post you get error, this solution will take care of that too. Just for record, this worked with latest WordPress 3.0.1

    Naa.. its not working for me.
    (I went to my server and edited the file htaccess. I have also tried installing and activating a plugin for the same.)
    Please help.

    It didn’t work for me. Sure is annoying how WordPress image uploader can’t seem to play nice in a shared hosting environment.
