Did you ever come across an error ” Are You Sure You Want To Do This, Please Try Again “ when  uploading / inserting  a image through default word press editor ?? if yes then this article will definitely help you

One of my friends told me that she is unable to insert a image a post when she clicked on insert image icon at default word press editor but she is getting an error ” Are You Sure You Want To Do This, Please Try Again “ so i googled to find a solution .After searching for 10 -15 mins i found an article by Knizam which helped me to fix the problem .

Procedure

Step 1

Go to Plugins > Installed and de-activate all the plugins

Step 2

Check if the insert post is working or not .

Step 3

If Yes, Activate any one of the plugins and check  if insert image feature is working or not. If it works then move on to next plugin,If it doesn’t work then deactivate the plugin or upgrade the plugin

Step 4

Repeat step 3 untill you are done with the total no of active plugins

Once you complete the above 4 steps you will be able to use the upload / insert image .


Note : This error usually occurs when there is a out dated version of the plugin installed in word press

   Well you sure came to this friends rescue with this Kan ! Now we know who the real culprit was ! Which now has me wondering : can the Google Analytics Plugin be hurting more bloggers than it is helping ? I have had issues w Google Analytics plugin in the past – it totally ruined ( affected ) my site – which is now something to ponder for anyone else experiencing the same problem . Thanks Kan – you sure saved the day !

   Had this exact problem and thanks for helping. Perfect logic behind that, i just wasn’t thinking. Great to have guys like you to save me from trouble.
   Agreed with Mia, Google Analytics Plugin is screwing it all up for us – real shame that.

   Life saver! (well at least major time saver) … for me the plugin was the Newsletter Plugin by Fast Email Sender team … but it’s not outdated, just the latest.

   Thanks very much for this post!
