This thread might have the answer. Some others were seeing that problem with an earlier version

I am currently evaluating the theme and had the same problem.

I reverted back to the parent theme rather than using a child theme and it all appears to work again.

I hope this helps the developers in some way.

I have not upgraded to 2.5.6 because I have not been having this issue (fingers crossed). I did have this issue a few versions ago, right after I installed a plugin. I deactivated that plugin and the uploader instantly came back. Leo says it's another problem, but I mention just in case you want to give deactivating plugins one by one and seeing if there is a conflict.

I updated because of the shorter distance to the upload file as I prefer to use ftp

What folder do you upload to?
You don't have any upload problems with 2.5.6?

I created and have been ftp'ing to 'wp-content/plupload/uploads'

I released this for a while as an unofficial upgrade for those who had problems with their upload area. I finally released it because people were not reporting problems with 2.6.6, rather only that it worked.

This took it out of the theme's root and placed it in the content area. An added bonus would be that if you upgrade your theme while images are waiting to be processed, you won't lose them.

It seems to be a flip-flop. People who had problems see a fix. People who had no problems see it break.

Its not that hard - just use 2.5.5 if 2.6.6 does not work for you, and the previous version did. Use 2.5.6 if the 2.5.5's uploader did not work.

Lastly, here is where it was referenced - it was suggested you check with your host. However I know that nobody will want to do that, so I never mentioned it. See the expert speak here:

I'll locate the previous version for you, though if you look at that post I gave you I question its even anything I can control. FTP is the best.

Your a better person for it!

The FTP folder location is mentioned on the uplaod page. Simply use that directory.

I overlooked that part.

Very very simple solution - which I never mentioned -

Toggle the theme.

Activate some default or other theme like 2012, etc. Then reactivate the theme/child-theme your using. All issues will be solved.

EDIT: This action runs the installer, which will set up that folder.


Actually anybody who upgrades has to toggle the theme this time. People just don't like mass-emails and their overwhelmed, so I've been extremely conservative what I say/do/etc so people can have a break.

People have been complaining about too much info, and things in general, so I've been slowly finding my way out of the crowd in this venture. Just going to focus on supplying cool stuff and being quiet.

Right now I'm working on the premium theme and hope to have it 100% perfect before making it public so I can simply move on.

Apparently then this is uploader working for everyone. Just a theme toggle is needed.

I had a suggestion about info, but decided to start a new thread so as not to derail this one. Plus it will be more visible.

I'm having the same problem. (BlueHost, 2.5.5 worked fine. After upgrade web and ftp don't work anymore)

How exactly do I "toggle"back to 2.5.5?  Confused....

Anyone have a link to the 2.5.5 download?
