+--- Thread: SOLVED Cannot upload files and/or images .. (/showthread.php?tid=9539)
Cannot upload files and/or images .. - Trajan - 2017-03-13
I cannot upload files - the button beneath File Management under the Files tab is blank?
After clicking the Files tab, "Upload files and/or images .." briefly displays and then disappears, leaving the button blank.
I'm thinking it's because of my server or somesuch. The upload folder (under data) has permissions set to 755. Maybe htaccess is the reason? Could PHP 7.1 be the culprit?
Not certain how far back this problem goes - GS 3.3.13 is what I'm using. (Typically I use FTP to upload files.)
BTW, sincere thanks to everyone whom actively develops GetSimple itself, and to those who extend GetSimple through plugins and themes! I've been using GetSimple for a number of years now, but I guess it's time to stop lurking on this forum.

You probably don't have Flash enabled in your browser (Uploadify requires Flash).
You can either:
- Enable Flash, or
- Remove the comment (#) from define('GSNOUPLOADIFY', 1); in gsconfig.php.

Yep.
If Flash is disabled, the button is blank. If Flash is enabled, then the button is active and upload is possible. And removal of the comment from GSNOUPLOADIFY activates the non-Flash fallback for uploading.
Thanks! Good to know that the GetSimple community is active!

Doesn't look as if it's falling back automatically to support non-Flash uploading, in my environment.
(Thanks for all your work on GetSimple, Shawn!)

Yeah indont have time to investigate since 3.4 no longer even uses uploadify.

In Firefox, if the Flash plugin is set to 'Always ask', Uploadify remains blocked unless the prompt response is 'Allow'.
If the Flash plugin is disabled, the upload button works as intended (falls back to form).
As you say, not worth investigating.

Okay, I stand to be corrected, sensu stricto.
However, in my Firefox install, there is no Flash plugin. If no plugin, neither the button nor uploadify display.
But I agree, not worth investigating.
