Media Library Issue (New Install)

  • Per suggestion of the moderating team, I have started another thread.

    Initially I thought this issue was isolated to something to do with the configuration of the domain, perhaps something with the custom php.ini file…

    However, I tested this on my personal site and was able to replicate the issue. So here is the issue:

    When using the tile mode in the media library, the page will not load. The media library hangs. That is, it will not finish loading. I can confirm the following things:
    1. Controllers in neither IE 11, Edge, nor Chrome detect ANY errors.
    2. Debug only throws issues that there is an issue that ini_set is not enabled on the server.
    3. This occurs regardless of what theme is selected.
    4. If you switch to list mode, the page loads just fine.

    Now, 4 would be fine and dandy IF you could use list mode to select your featured images, but you can’t. Therefore, no new posts can have a selected featured image because of this bug.

    The sandbox I am using is located here:
    https://melodichavoc.com/sandbox/

    PHP Runtime environment is 5.4
    Apache is v2.0.

    It also seems that even after ImageMagick was updated, uploads still error (despite the fact that uploads are successful.)
    “An error occurred in the upload. Please try again later.”

    It does perform the upload if you drag and drop in the Media window, but not if you use the popup from the post itself.

    I am guessing this is related.

    Just wanted to post another update – this seems to be the common culprit across each WP install that throws the issue:

    Warning: ini_set() has been disabled for security reasons in /home/<user>/public_html/<path>/wp-includes/load.php on line <number>

    If that is indeed the case, ini_set being disabled is fairly common, why is WP insisting on using it, and why does WP not specify that ini_set being enabled is a prerequisite for install?

    This would be easier for me to troubleshoot if the error didn’t refer to a line where the text is spit out and instead referred to the line of the actual error.

    I’ve seen this before. The last time I had this problem, I reinstalled WordPress from scratch.

    It is now happening again.

    When I disable all of my plugins, the media library loads. I have been been installing them one by one. I have the issue down to one plugin that installs with unexpected output.

    I can no longer replicate the issue in the latest nightly.

    This was not related to a plugin, as it was a fresh install.
