multi-file uploader stalls on 'crunching'

  • I know this has been posted a lot of times before but I am having real trouble getting the Multi-file uploader to upload images on my WordPress 3.5.1 blog.

    On any device or browser when uploading using the multi-file uploader I immediately get the message ‘crunching’ which indefinitely runs and nothing ever happens.

    I have uninstalled all the plugins and even reverted back to the TwentyTwelve theme.

    It doesn’t appear to be related to my host as I installed a second installation of wordpress on a subdomain and this one works fine.

    Is there any logs or some other information I can look at to figure out what may be causing it?

    In the php.ini you can set a error log file. If you have access to it.
    I am also getting the strange crunching error. I am still working on it with the hosting company.

    I tried all the usual suspects.

    Will you please post the solution when you find it? I am having the same problem right now…

    i had the same problem.

    just disabled the “fast-cgi” php support.

    now it works

    How exactly do I do that?

    My hosting company doesn’t use FastCGI on the server.
    I tried some different things and then I found out, that if I make my pictures smaller (in Paint, resize 50%) then there is no problems with uploads.
    I find it a bit strange as my pictures were not bigger than 4MB, now when they are about 700 – 800KB all works well.

    Maybe it will work for you as well.
