Cannot upload images in Woo commerce

If you are still having issues. Replace the js/custom_uploade.js with this

jQuery(document).ready(function() {
	var fileInput = '';

	jQuery('.upload_image_button').click(function() {
		post_id = jQuery('#post_ID').val();
		if(post_id > 0){
			fileInput = jQuery(this).prev('input');
			//console.log(fileInput);
			formfield = jQuery('#upload_image').attr('name');

			tb_show('', 'media-upload.php?post_id='+post_id+'&type=image&TB_iframe=true');
			return false;
		}
	});

	// user inserts file into post. only run custom if user started process using the above process
	// window.send_to_editor(html) is how wp would normally handle the received data

	window.original_send_to_editor = window.send_to_editor;
	window.send_to_editor = function(html){

		if (fileInput) {
			fileurl = jQuery('img',html).attr('src');

			fileInput.val(fileurl);

			tb_remove();

		} else {
			window.original_send_to_editor(html);
		}
	};

});

Thank you snow_walker!!! I had the exact same problem and your code update was a sure fix!

I?m using Purity theme with woocommerce. I upload and no errors are showing, but the image is not showing on admin categories thumbnail images neither on my site:

Any clues on that?

Did you upload the categories images?

Yes snow_walker, I’m uploading them as I do for product images, when I choose use this image the pop-up window on admin is closing without throwing errors as everything went all right. But no images are appearing.

alfons271, I just worked through this exact problem.

Setting up a new site with WooCommerce. Not far in to set up so not much customisation done yet. One day I could add images to categories, today I cannot.

Look at the javascript that is meant to happen then the Upload/Add Image button is clicked to add image to your WC category:

// Create the media frame.
file_frame = wp.media.frames.downloadable_file = wp.media({
    title: 'Choose an image',
    button: {
        text: 'Use image',
    },
    multiple: false
});

I saw no such title or button with this text. Just a standard WP media box with an “Add to Post” button.

This told me something was stopping the JS from running properly.
Long story short, I disabled a plugin called Wplogin Customizer and WooCommerce categories start working again as they should.

I have not looked if this is the only plugin I want to use that will break it but I can live without it. I will investigate further and maybe contact the author of Wplogin Customizer

Hope this helps.

I want to confirm that this works for me. I was using the exact theme as the original poster, and added this into the /js/custom-

jQuery(document).ready(function() {
	var fileInput = '';

	jQuery('.upload_image_button').click(function() {
		post_id = jQuery('#post_ID').val();
		if(post_id > 0){
			fileInput = jQuery(this).prev('input');
			//console.log(fileInput);
			formfield = jQuery('#upload_image').attr('name');

			tb_show('', 'media-upload.php?post_id='+post_id+'&type=image&TB_iframe=true');
			return false;
		}
	});

	// user inserts file into post. only run custom if user started process using the above process
	// window.send_to_editor(html) is how wp would normally handle the received data

	window.original_send_to_editor = window.send_to_editor;
	window.send_to_editor = function(html){

		if (fileInput) {
			fileurl = jQuery('img',html).attr('src');

			fileInput.val(fileurl);

			tb_remove();

		} else {
			window.original_send_to_editor(html);
		}
	};

});

and I was able to upload photos into my categories. Many thanks! I am using Elegant estate 1.3 as well as WordPress 3.6 and Woocommerce 2.0.20
