WP 3.8.1 Set featured image not working, no images showing

Have you tried using a different browser? Perhaps the JavaScript used for setting a featured image isn’t running properly in your browser.

Thanks for the idea…

I use Chrome, and I tried it in Opera and Firefox and it does the same exact thing.

Any other ideas??

Other things not working:

Creating a new custom field.

Are you seeing issues with JavaScript-driven tasks anywhere else in WordPress admin (such as quick edit of posts)?

I just tried Quick Edit for a post (adding an exclamation point to a title, and when I click Update, the gray circle with little white circle moving around loading sign just keeping going around…

So, if that is a javascript-driven task, then yah.

Yes, that’s operated by JavaScript. However, since the UI functions are working properly, I have a feeling the issue lies in the AJAX calls being made to the server.

I did some searching, and it looks like some people who have had AJAX issues in the past have had success by adding the following to their wp-config.php file:

define('CONCATENATE_SCRIPTS', false);

Try that, and let me know if it works.

I tried that… no luck.

Have you tried setting up a separate subdomain with a completely brand new install of WordPress? That could help determine whether it’s site-specific or server-wide.

I’m having problems with 3.8.1. So far neither Quick Edit nor the permalink Edit button work. I tried Firefox, Safari, Chrome.

Sorry to bug you… the Add Media button doesn’t work either.

Laureen777, could you create your own thread here: https://www.ads-software.com/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting#postform ?

I have exactly the same problem ??

Valeriu Tihai, please start your own thread.

Hi,

I have the EXACT same issue as you have breakaway11.
A complete fresh install of wordpress 3,8,1 on a new website didn’t give these issues.

Any progress on this?

Thanks,

No, it is still not working…

That said, I ended up setting a custom field to accept a URL, and to show that custom field in the place of my featured image…

It requires a knowledge of the wordpress codex and themes.
