I was recently working on a Perl script that would SSH to another server and run a sudo command on the remote server that was failing. The error that was received is below.

Error: sudo: sorry, you must have a tty to run sudo

The reason for this is an update along the way with sudo locked it down further by adding the below line to /etc/sudoers configuration file.

How to Upload Files to a WordPress Post

Insights6 Comments

After WordPress 2.5 uploading files to posts has become much easier. When first looking into this I was confused though because I every time I would upload a file it would not automatically link to the file. I was assuming the file did not upload properly and that was the reason there was no file to link to. I was mistaken though and really uploading a file is exactly like uploading an image but you have to select where the file links to. Follow the simple directions below to upload files to a WordPress post on your WP blog. The directions below are based on WordPress 2.7+ however they are very similar to WordPress 2.5/2.6.

  1. Open WordPress Admin: Obviously the first thing you need to do is login to the WP administration area of your blog which is typically found at your URL followed by /wp-admin.
