Cloned wordpress from IIS (windows) to Apache (cent OS 6) image resize issue

  • I cloned a wordpress site from IIS on a windows server to apache on a cent OS server with WP cloner plugin from WP academy. It looks like it just took my whole wordpress directory and also the database and redeployed it on my apache server. Everything works EXCEPT the thumbnails on my site are not resized to fit the articles view for featured images (supposed to be 130X130), I looked at the HTMl in source view and it looks ok but still cannot figure out why it is not resizing. I also installed the fix thumb nails and fix URLs plug ins and tried running them but no luck. Could the cloner have copied over something that would affect this?

  • You probably don’t have the PHP extension necessary to handle re-sizing installed.

    If you’re on centos, try something like:
    yum install php-gd

    But all in all, you need php-gd installed. If you install it manually, don’t forget to activate the extension and restart apache.

    Best of luck!

    Thanks! Always thought PHP came with these standard extensions , weird it didn’t on the new linux server. Either way it worked! Thanks!

    Some do, and some don’t. It’s kind of a crap shoot.

    You’ll probably hit this again with things like mcrypt and mysqli.

    Nearly every extension can be installed using yum on centos. If it fails, then you can also install the php builder system called pecl.

    yum install pecl
    pecl install (name of php extension)

    Happy pressing!
