If you are a Wordpress user, you might have encountered the IO Error when browsing local drive for uploading a picture. The error reads as: IO error. An error occurred in the upload. Please try again later. I was suffering with the same problem from past two days and I have finally figured out the workarounds and solutions to address this problem.

Alternative when encountered IO Error
1. Click on the ‘browser uploader‘ link instead.
2. Browse the file on your system and click upload.

I guess this problem only occurs in I.E. and not in FF, Opera, Safari…
I use FireFox and I encountered this problem. Also, IO error is not dependent on web browser.

I had the same problem and I use FF. Then I tried to do it with IE and I noticed that it was working offline. I turned IE on and moved again to FF and it solve the problem!. Best.
