How To Switch Off The Flash Uploader

09.09.09 by Jerome in Tutorials

To upload any media files WordPress gives you two options to choose from: the Flash uploader or using your browser uploader.

The Flash uploader set by default has been a source of many problems with various clients (myself included). It is mainly caused by older versions of Flash or running old versions of WordPress.

I have found a quick fix on how to disable this Flash uploader and how to provide only the browser uploader option.

Simply use this filter to your functions.php file:

function disable_flash_uploader() {
	return false;
}
 
add_filter( 'flash_uploader', 'disable_flash_uploader', 1 );
