image files renamed and missing extensions

    After upgrading to WP 4.0, media upload is broken.
    If I upload an image named “whatever.jpg”, the file is renamed to “1” with no file extension. The next file I upload is renamed to “2” and so on.
    I’ve tried disabling all plugins, even though I don’t have any that effect media. And I’ve tried changing the “Organize my uploads into month- and year-based folders” setting to see if that would change anything.

  • Hi hobbleknee,

    are you positive that this is only since you updated to WP 4.0?
    From what I read here this smells more like a server side issue with things like storage capacity running out or a change in permissions on the php upload folder.
    In addition, check if you are exceeding the maximum allowed upload size for php.

    Thanks for the reply ??

    Yes, I’m pretty sure it’s a 4.0 issue. I downgraded to 3.8.4 and it works normally again. Before I downgraded though, I did check the permissions in the upload folder and it looked good too. I have plenty of storage too, and the files I was uploading were tiny.

    I’m having the same issue too. Here’s an example of what I have for one image in the uploads…

    -rw-rw-r-- 1 daemon daemon 109098 Nov 11 01:46 283
-rw-rw-r-- 1 daemon daemon   3077 Nov 11 01:46 283-100x60.
-rw-rw-r-- 1 daemon daemon   4970 Nov 11 01:46 283-140x94.
-rw-rw-r-- 1 daemon daemon   5437 Nov 11 01:46 283-150x99.
-rw-rw-r-- 1 daemon daemon   7999 Nov 11 01:46 283-180x160.
-rw-rw-r-- 1 daemon daemon  12444 Nov 11 01:46 283-280x175.
-rw-rw-r-- 1 daemon daemon  20380 Nov 11 01:46 283-280x350.
-rw-rw-r-- 1 daemon daemon  14653 Nov 11 01:46 283-300x200.
-rw-rw-r-- 1 daemon daemon  32905 Nov 11 01:46 283-500x331.
-rw-rw-r-- 1 daemon daemon  39575 Nov 11 01:46 283-560x371.
-rw-rw-r-- 1 daemon daemon  48453 Nov 11 01:46 283-560x424.
-rw-rw-r-- 1 daemon daemon  38726 Nov 11 01:46 283-580x348.
-rw-rw-r-- 1 daemon daemon   2366 Nov 11 01:46 283-75x50.
-rw-rw-r-- 1 daemon daemon  41744 Nov 11 01:46 283-e1415670385257.jpg

    But, in the media library the path to the file is /283-e1415670385257. with no extension.

    Maybe this will help someone to figure this out faster than I can. I have to solve this ASAP for a large, high traffic site we just upgraded to 4.0.

    I’m experiencing the same problem on a CentOS 4 server running PHP 5.2.

    My first thought was that WordPress couldn’t resolve the MIME type, but clicking on the image shows “File type: image/png” in the details pane.

    File size and server space isn’t the issue; the files I’m uploading are tiny 512px square PNGs, and there are several GBs free on the partition.

    The problem seems to have arisen since the upgrade to 4.0.
