Can't upload images via newsfeed. | Forum

Hi all,


I'm having an issue whereby I can't seem to upload images via the newsfeed. Whenever we try, we just get the "whirling" circle that continues forever. The image never actually uploads.




Uploading images via the forums and via the "Photo" page works just fine. It's only when uploading a picture via the newsfeed, ie a status update.

I've enabled debug mode, but nothing happens, so I'm not getting any output. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks guys.

I've just seen this thread, and have followed the instructions on it, but the issue still isn't solved. I've applied the default "Origin" theme on my dev site, and the issue still persists.

Hi Ross,


Thanks for the quick reply buddy. As I said in my second comment, I've already found and followed that thread, but the issue still persists and there are no errors in the console. I'll PM you details for my dev site.

The issue was due to the folders permissions. I changed it to 777 now it works, please check. 


the folders are ow_userfiles

ow_pluginfiles

ow_static

and ow_smarty/template_c

Thanks Ross. Seems to be working, although intermittently. I've made no changes to the live site, but some images are working, some aren't. The upload limit is 8MB, and all the images are smaller than that. So it's not the upload limit.


I'll keep testing over the next couple of days and feed back.
