Media uploader not working, but upload via post is?

    when using:

    1) the main media uploader via Media > Add New, the image gets added to the wp-admin side, the thumbnail is visible in the list of uploaded media, and it’s visible on the post page… BUT… it doesn’t upload the image to content > uploads folder.

    BUT….

    2) when using the uploader via post, it adds the image to the wp-admin side list of uploaded media, it displays successfully in the post AND it uploads the image successfully to contents > uploads.

    Anyone know how to fix this so it upload to the contents > uploads folder through the main media uploader? The permissions are set to read/write on the mac folder ‘get info’.

    Thanks

    Have you tried:

    • flushing any caching plugins you might be running, as well as server and/or browser caches.
    • deactivating all plugins (yes, all) to see if this resolves the problem. If this works, re-activate the plugins one by one until you find the problematic plugin(s). If you can’t get into your admin dashboard, try resetting the plugins folder by FTP or PhpMyAdmin (read “How to deactivate all plugins when you can’t log in to wp-admin” if you need help). Sometimes, an apparently inactive plugin can still cause problems. Also remember to deactivate any plugins in the mu-plugins folder. The easiest way is to rename that folder to mu-plugins-old
    • switching to the Twenty Fourteen theme to rule out any theme-specific problems. If you can’t log in to change themes, you can remove the theme folders via FTP so the only one is twentyfourteen. That will force your site to use it.
    • manually upgrading. When all else fails, download a fresh copy of the latest.zip file (top right on this page) to your computer, and use that to copy up. You may need to delete the wp-admin and wp-includes folders on your server. Read the Manual Update directions first.
