Hi @Tareq,

I have found this solution and tested: works perfect for a files and images upload buttons.

But still need a fix for the “image upload in post area”. You can tell me a way to fix it?

Thanks

Hi @Tareq,

I have created a screencast for you can see the error that have the “image upload in post area” when it uses Internet explorer 8 on the test site of wedevs.com: http://screencast-o-matic.com/watch/cIX3lEVRXX

Also, I have tested a better way to do the solution I found (is putting flash in second order):

1. Open /js/upload.js
2. On line 24 change the runtimes order to html5,flash,html4
3. On line 37 change flash_swf_url to ‘/wp-includes/js/plupload/plupload.flash.swf’

Best regards

I have test (on http://www.browserstack.com/) that the “image upload in post area” only work on Internet Explorer if you use the version 11.

The “image upload in post area” feature is handled in /js/frontend-form.js. Try changing there too following that instruction.

Hi @Tareq,

I have modified the file/js/frontend-form.js on:
– line 331 to: runtimes: 'flash,html5,html4',
– line 344 to: flash_swf_url: '/wp-includes/js/plupload/plupload.flash.swf',

I have tested and continue with the same problem, in this case not open the window to select the files.

Also is strange that in the “image upload in post area” the progress bar work fine, but in the buttons to upload images and files not work.

Maybe a good solution is set an alert to use Internet Explorer 11 or another updated browser 🙂
