This doesn’t seem to be a very common problem, but if it happens to you it can be very annoying!

Sometimes, when trying to upload an image to a WordPress post or page, you may get an error message that says, “Are you sure you want to do this? Please try again”.

If you click on the “Please try again” link you just get taken back to the main dashboard, but within the pop-up box where you would usually choose your image.

The most likely cause for this is an incompatible plug-in.

To find which one and correct this problem, first … did you recently upload or update a particular plug-in just before you starting seeing this error? If so, deactivate that plug-in and then try to upload an image again. If you can now upload images again, that plug-in was causing the problem.

However if you’re not sure which plug-in is at fault, deactivate all of your plug-ins. Now try to upload an image and you should find it uploads just fine.

So now go back to your plug-ins page and activate one plug-in. Try uploading an image again. Did it work?

If yes, that’s great. Now activate a second plug-in, then try uploading an image again.

Keep going through this process until all of your plug-ins that you want activated are active, except for at least one that, when activated again, will cause that image upload error. When you find that plug-in, either delete it or leave it deactivated.

You may find it helpful to have two tabs open in your web browser – one on the plug-ins page and another on a draft post/page where you can test uploading images.

I hope this fixes your images upload issue.  :-)

The nature of the internet is that it is constantly changing.

The search engines determine page ranks based on around 200 algorithms that are constantly being updated, so it’s important to be aware of that and not to put all your eggs in one basket.

That applies not only to where you’re creating links back to your site but also how you generate your traffic, what business models you use and so on.

It was a little over a year ago that Google changed its policies regarding AdWords’ PPC campaigns and that affected a lot of people – some who were paying hundreds of thousands of dollars a month in advertising fees to Google. Many people lost their entire income because of those changes.

But those who were using other forms of traffic generation as well as PPC wouldn’t have noticed the changes as much.

Similarly, those who rely on solely on Search Engine Optimization as their traffic source may find their income drops considerably after a single change to the search engines’ algorithms, but those who use SEO in addition to other strategies will generally be able to bounce back.

You just need to be aware of the changes and move with them.

In my opinion, anyone in online marketing who is using a variety of traffic generation, credibility and SEO strategies, who uses ethical marketing – and who is providing value with good, relevant content – has nothing to be concerned with.

Resources For Thesis Users

November 25, 2010 · 0 comments

If you are a regular visitor to this site then you probably already know that I love the Thesis WordPress theme (the one I use for this site). It’s not the only theme I use, but it’s one of my all-time favorites, mainly because it’s so functional and extremely easy to customize, even if you aren’t particularly familiar with CSS.

Recently I came across a post on the Smashing Geeks site where they list a range of resources, tutorials and skins for Thesis.

So if you, too, like the Thesis theme, make sure you have a look at this post and perhaps bookmark it in your favorites.

NB: Compensated affiliate for Thesis theme.
