Images Won't Upload to Media Library

    When trying to upload a new image to use as a featured image for a blog post, the image will begin to upload, but never complete. It shows the upload bar moving all the way complete, but then gives me an error, prompting me to “try again later.” A ghost file shows up in the Media Library. I’ve reinstalled Imagick, enabled it, etc.

    @nybjjared – this sounds like a file permission problem to me where WordPress cannot save the file because the operating system isn’t letting it. I suggest trying to reset some of the permissions on your folders as describe in this thread:

    https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/permissionsimage-uploads-1

    The other potential issue it could be is that the file size is too large, but it would likely have told you that.

    For anyone looking this topic up recently, this is something that worked for me…

    go to settings > media – uncheck the box that says to organize in folders by date

    THEN delete ALL CONTENTS of the upload folder using an FTP program like filezilla and logging in via ftp.
