GoFuckYourself.com - Adult Webmaster Forum - Tip: WP 3.0

WP has the bad habit of disabling the handy flash uploader for people who are on Macs. Annoying, especially if you're dealing with multiple image uploads. Here's how to enable it.

/wp-admin/includes/media.php

Comment out lines 1397 + 1398:

Code:

        // if ( false !== stripos($_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'], 'mac') && apache_mod_loaded('mod_security') )

        //        $flash = false;

If you wish to protect your WP-Admin via .htaccess and .htpasswd, put this in your .htaccess file within the /wp-admin folder:

Code:



AuthType Basic

AuthName "Protected"

AuthUserFile /path/to/.htpasswd

Require valid-user



# Exclude the file upload and WP CRON scripts from authentication

<FilesMatch "(async-upload\.php|wp-cron\.php|xmlrpc\.php|admin-post\.php)$">

    Satisfy Any

    Order allow,deny

    Allow from all

    Deny from none

</FilesMatch>

That will keep your flash uploader from getting stuck after protecting the admin.
