• Hi there.

    I am working on hungrylondoner.com and having trouble uploading images. Every time I upload an image in either Media pages or within a post, it appears to upload ok but instead of the image, it’s just a placeholder (a square with a broken page icon in the middle). Here’s an example
    https://www.hungrylondoner.com/?attachment_id=1919

    Weirdly, if I edit the image inside WordPress it displays the image correctly within in the edit page where I can crop etc, but as soon as I save it again it reverts back to the placeholder.

    This occurs for all kinds of images, jpg, gif, png etc.

    I’m running WordPress 3.8. I’ve tried disabling all plugins, but it don’t resolve the issue. I’ve also called the hosting company to check my space – I have several GB remaining.

    There’s nothing I suddenly did to the site prior to this happening. It just suddenly occured overnight. I cannot think why it might have happened.

    If anyone could help me out I’d be really grateful. Thanks everyone.

    Jonny

  • hey Jonny
    when you upload the images in media it is uploaded successfully?

    Hi – No it doesn’t display. It’s still the placeholder. It’s only when I click “edit image” it appears. But that’s no good because as soon as I save it again it goes back to a placeholder.

    hello jonnyguitar,
    once go to your wp-admin–> setting –> Media
    where you find a path for uploading images just check there and click on checkbox which says “Organize my uploads into month- and year-based folders” and save it hope it`ll work for you

    Sorry where is that option? I cannot see it. Is this a known fix?

    just find a screenshort here

    or can you also provide a screenshot of your media setting.

    Hi there. Sorry for the delay in getting back to you. That setting was already checked ??

    I tried unchecking, saving, and rechecking it but it didn’t work I’m afraid.

    Here is the media page with the problem shown https://imagebin.org/287195 Please note, it’s only happening to images I’m attempting to upload in the last few days. Before that, all images I’d uploaded display ok.

    Here’s the media setting page – all default settings I believe: https://imagebin.org/287196

    If you can help in any way I’d really appreciate it.

    I have the same problem as jonnyguitar, checked all the suggestions above but to no avail only seems to have happened since the last WordPress updates!! anybody any ideas?

    I also have this issue after 3.8.1 update, client wants to add images to her website and uploader has stopped working in the exact way jonnyguitar has described. Bad update!
    I have tried deactivating all plugins, changing the theme to Twenty Fourteen and reinstalling the update, re-saving permalinks – none of these options worked.
    The uploader worked absolutely fine prior to 3.8.1 update.
    All images and generated thumbnails are uploading to the correct folder – wp-content/uploads/2014/01 – but are not displaying on the front end of the website…
    Grateful for any advice!

    Open up another forum thread, it’s bad practice to jump onto someone’s else’s issue.

    It is the same issue, hoping someone will reply to the original and help us all out…
