After migrating an older WordPress maintenance support plans 6 site with 20,000 media items to WordPress maintenance support plans 8, I found a strange problem with image uploads. On the WordPress maintenance support plans site, using Image FUpload and Adobe Flash, I could upload up to 99 images in one go. On the new WordPress maintenance support plans 8 site, I was only able to upload 20 images, even though I didn’t see an error message or any other indication that the rest of the images I had selected through the Media Image upload form were not successfully added.
