thanks for the reply Rain. I'm using Internet Explorer and yes, I probably should contact staff but I'm going to go to bed now instead and hope it's miraculously fixed when I wake up tomorrow....

What browser and version are you using? And have you contacted staff? That's what I'd suggest at this point.

Hi Guys, first time poster.

I have a page titled gallery and would like to upload several photo's within themes though. Basically, 10 layers of photographs, some layers have 1 photograph and others have 7. Is this possbile? If yes, how do I do this?

I am also getting the IO error.

Thanks so much,
Ashleigh

@oliverdoran, Since you are self-hosted and using the software downloaded from wordpress.ORG, you need to direct your question to http://wordpress.ORG/support/ . This forum is for users of WordPress.COM, the free hosting service, and it uses a modified multi-user version of the software which is different from what you are using and few, if any, here know anything about it.

WordPress.com or WordPress.org? The difference.

to pick your beautiful brains.....

I'm the same as justjennifer.
Flash uploader comes up with IO error and browser uploader goes to blank page once you hit the upload button. I'm at http://www.photos.je/blog - i rekon it's an installation problem, though I have reinstalled. updated flash, added .htaccess, and loads of other stuff - anyone any ideas?

@charlottejo, what is the URL of your wordpress.COM blog?

I'm having the same problem, but I can't even use the browser uploader instead - when I upload with it, my window goes blank and never loads...

Drat and double drat. The flash uploader worked at my office computer, but not now on my home computer with FF3 installed. Have latest version of flash on both machines.

justjennifer on "Can't upload images: IO error. (Error #2038)"

justjennifer — Tue, 26 Aug 2008 16:02:21 +0000

Same problem started for me yesterday. Using the browser uploader to get around the problem.

Just tried again with the flash uploader and having upgraded to FF3 seems to have solved it for me.

I can't load photos either. Getting the same IO message. Please tell us how to get around this.

If it's happening across multiple web services, then it's likely something local to your or your ISP.

I only successfully uploaded an image once, and that took 3 hours for a 2Mb image... which is a LONG time. Since then I haven't been able to upload anything at all...

The thing is, I haven't been able to upload not just to WordPress, but I also can't upload to Flickr or imageshack or photobucket... they all come back I/O error. Is it a browser problem, or server problem?

I have these problems no matter which computer I use in my house.
I've tried turning off all firewalls and antiviruses too...

Powerpoint (.ppt) can be uploaded to wordpress.com so that others can download them, they just cannot be displayed within the blog.

You can't upload powerpoint at all without putting it in via the Vodpod widget. If you're having serious troubles uploading media which you've never tried to upload before, always check the FAQ to see if it's allowed.

ditto, not that saying such does anything. Any one using wordpress longer than the past few months encountered this problem? How long does it take before it is fixed?

I'm having this problem as well, and i agree with "lazyaussie" its not my firefox or flash etc.

How can we sort this out?

Surely admin know by now after the endless flood of image upload problems that it is not flash? There seems to be a faked surprise everytime this problem comes up. you have known for months that it is not flash. Why mislead people by pretending it could be a flash upgrade problem. IE, Safari Firefox, ALL have the same problem, which most people would logically think might be related to wordpress. Not you guys though. Still blaming the browsers and flash.

I am experiencing the same thing today. Yesterday, I have no problem uploading photos, but now, I experienced IO2038 error. All my photos are less than 100kb. So, I don't think it is a problem with the size, I will continue to try and sort it out.

Hi :-)

I have the same problem. I could upload pictures on April 17th but since yesterday I receive the same error message. I usually work with Firefox. I just tried to upload with the Internet Explorer, that works! I don't like working with it but as long as I can upload pictures, I am ok.
