I’m doing everything on my tablet. There are images in a gallery and I would like to edit some of them. It says “Add links by clicking the EDIT (pencil) button”. There is no Edit, no pencil. How can I edit the pictures on the tablet?

thanks and greetings Tamás

Looking at the diagnostics for Offload S3 it shows GD as being disabled.But checking AWS it shows as it being installed.

Anu suggestions would be welcomed

I run a Debian / Jessie version of WordPress as indicated. For the most part it runs well, and when there are problems I usually get them fixed. This means I am also running my own Apache server from home.

There has been one annoying functionality, which I do not benefit from. When I go into my Media Library, Select an Image, and then click on Edit, I get a broken image preview icon, and no ability to edit.

I have narrowed this problem down. to an AJAX call to the file

/usr/share/wordpress/wp-admin/admin-ajax.php

I can duplicate the call to that file as an HTTP call from my browser, and find the only thing this file outputs, is the ASCII numeral 0 (zero) – where it should output some sort of image. AFAIK, this problem has always existed, or has at least existed since my first attempt to edit an image from within WordPress.

I see over 200 postings on the Web, where other WordPress bloggers report the exact same problem. But then in pursuit of each case, each thread predictably runs into a dead end. Out of 200 postings, there is not 1 adequate explanation for why this happens.

In some cases, the OP thanks the other posters profusely, to confirm that this problem is theoretically possible. Another thread goes careening on some wild tangent. Each thread greets the OP with some wild chaotic response, that offers no conclusion, and then just dies.

I would like to know once and for all, what no other WordPress blogger has ever found an answer to: What causes this malfunction? BTW, I have the package

php5-gd

Installed, as I am supposed to, and in certain other Web-applications on my server, this package works. Also, this package successfully builds thumbnails and resized versions of the uploaded images automatically, in

/srv/www/wp-content/dirkmittler.homeip.net/uploads/…

I would hate to install a 3rd-party photo-editing plug-in, and my main reason is the fact that the ones I have found are cloud-based. My second reason not to would be, the fact that I can just GIMP whatever images I want on the same machine – I am not critically dependent on this working inside WordPress.

I do not have bizarre rewrite rules in my .htaccess, only the rules which belong there.

I do not have mod_security installed, and do not have mod_headers enabled. I have created no special restrictions against myself accessing the folder

/usr/share/wordpress/wp-admin

I.e., I can admin my blog just fine. I think I would notice, if I could not. And here is my blog:

https://dirkmittler.homeip.net/blog/

I have scanned dozens of server-scripts for that closing ?> , but wouldn’t you know it, none of the scripts I have tested, contain that basic PHP bug. I do not intend to output-buffer all my content, to ob_clean() it. And I do not intend to delete my ‘functions.php’ file, and think this will achieve anything other than a full failure of the site.

Please, suggest more chaotic answers, and then tell me the problem is fixed!

Oh, And my .PHP Files are Not UTF-8 encoded, with a BOM. My PHP-Scripts are ASCII-encoded, with no BOM.

Edit: Some posters wanted to know the full list of plug-ins which the OP had installed, because maybe in some cases, there could be a plug-in intercation causing this. Well, this is my info on that subject:

root@Phoenix:/var/lib/wordpress/wp-content/plugins# ls
akismet media-library-assistant
awesome-weather memcached-is-your-friend
captcha metronet-profile-picture
captcha-pro plugins
custom-scrollbar postie
custom-scrollbar-pro post-views-counter
email-users printfriendly
featured-video-plus transposh-translation-filter-for-wordpress
google-sitemap-generator update-control
htaccess user-role-editor
index.php who-hit-the-page-hit-counter
insert-headers-and-footers who-hit-the-page-widget
limit-attempts widget-logic
limit-attempts-pro wordpress-importer
limit-login-attempts-reloaded wp-mail-smtp
lj-maintenence-mode wp-postviews
root@Phoenix:/var/lib/wordpress/wp-content/plugins#

Note: Some of these are not activated. Eg, since I have both limit-attempts and limit-attempts-pro, limit-attempts would be redundant. And, media-library-assistant and metronet-profile-picture are not activated.

Although some plug-in interaction might be causing this, in my case there are so many, that it is a pointless theory to pursue. And, why would so many other OPs, of other threads, necessarily have the same plug-ins as I do?

And, I have actually examined the PHP-Script ‘admin-ajax.php’.
It sets the variables ‘$core_actions_get’ and ‘$core_actions_post’, with an array of AJAX-Actions. The action ‘imgedit-preview’ is nowhere in the lists.

If the requested action is not found, it defaults to

// Default status
die( ‘0’ );

I’m having trouble finding which permission allows the Shop Editor role to edit images (i.e. cropping).

Thanks!

I have loaded the “Blackoot Lite” theme. I have uploaded one image thus far.

Issue 1: When I attempt to set the header image under the Appearance > Customize > header Image > Add new image, select the image, the click on crop I get the error:
There has been an error cropping your image.

Issue 2: When I attempt to edit the image ie Click on Media > click on image > Edit image. All I get is an icon for a broken image.
This looks similar to: post except I dont have a thumb nail preview on the right.

I believe these two issues are might have the same root cause.

I have googled this error and read a number of posts. The most common solution is to install the php-gd package but this was already installed.

I have also read that this could be a permissions issue but I have limited linux command skills so not entirely sure what I need to check and what I need to set.

Thanks Martin.

Some time ago this was a really nice feature. When editing the attached images in a post, I was able to only change the values in the fields for a particular image, hit the “enter” key on my keyboard which triggered the “update” button function. Now, it is really hard for me to only have this option to “click” to update the changes in the image fields.

I usually have 2 or 3 posts daily with 60-100 images and having this keyboard option saves a lot of time for me. Does anybody know how to make the “enter” key work when editing the images in a post?

Thanks!
