No dimensions for new images

  • Apologies for re-posting. I am unable to figure out how to edit my post of 15-20 minutes ago to add new and better information.

    Here’s the mystery:

    New image uploads are available via “Add Media” – but with no size options. On individual image edit pages, there is no field for “Dimensions” (as there is on the images I uploaded in days past).

    I also get “Image data does not exist. Please re-upload the image.” when I try to EDIT the image.

    I’ve tried many plugins

    • for regenerating images,
    • resizing (as “Simple Image Sizes” plugin for adding sizes),
    • switching to GD for processing,
    • optimizing the database’s _postmeta table,
    • and more.
    • Of course, I’ve tried adding code to functions.php to add custom image sizes, and
    • tried basic re-uploading, too.
    • I tried disabling every plugin, too.
    • I tried resetting all plugins as [er the WP docs

    The “regenerate thumbnails” plugin gives this error message:

    "{image title}" (ID 5159) failed to resize. The error message was: Unknown failure reason.

    Why would there be no “Dimensions” data listed for the new images?

    Note: I recently switched my site to all https://. Also, I recently ran the “WP-Optimize” to thin out database junk. I don’t see that these created damage, and the urls in the database show the ‘https’ for the image locations (thanks to a “Search and Replace” in the database).

    New information: When I upload an image, although there are no sizes registered, the timestamp is revealingly off:

    Revised: January 1, 1970 12:00 am

    I’m sure someone has an idea what that reveals… Anyone?

    I used the the “Rebuild Thumbnails” feature of the plugin “Simple Image Sizes” … and now ALL my images’ revision dates show as ‘Revised: January 1, 1970 12:00 am’.

    And when I run @wpranger’s “Rebuild Meta,” no images show up (whereas it used to be all but 5 – now it is ZERO). Somehow, the process I invoked using “Simple Image Sizes” broke important data connections.

    HELP?

    AM I THE ONLY ONE WHO HAS THIS PROBLEM?

    Hello,
    I also have the problem with the Media Library. Now all images are gone. If I try to upload a file, it’s like it starting to upload, but then come with the error: (An error occurred in the upload. Please try again later.)
    I have tried all the options above incl. deactivating all plugins, but without any result.
    This is on a Wamp localhost test machine.
    Using WP 3.8.1 and Hueman theme. I have the same setup on a Synology diskstation and on 2 notebooks, but there it is working ok.
    It woul’d be very interesting to find out what is causing this problem before I reinstall all on this Localhost.

    Regards

    Hi I had very similar problems and solved it by activating auto increment for the primary ID on the postmeta table. Some of that info must have got lost on the way during the move.
    Hope this helps someone else as I’ve been tearing my hair out for days trying all sorts of fixes!!

    #	Name	Type	Collation	Attributes	Null	Default	Extra	Action
1	meta_id	bigint(20)		UNSIGNED	No	None	AUTO_INCREMENT

    I’m having the same exact issue as @doclalor. Just talked to my database host and they can’t find anything unusual on their end. I looked in my phpadmin and it looks like auto increment is already set correctly on my server in regards to @pavegraphics. This is driving me nuts!!! I’m using WP 4.0.

    P.S after some more testing I realize that I think it’s the pixel dimensions of an image. I was trying to upload images that were 2000px wide for good retina display. When I save them out at 1300px max, they upload perfectly. Anything larger, and I get the error. As a test I uploaded a 5000×5000 image at 36kb (almost empty) and it still fails.

    Is this the case for anyone else?

    For the record, I never found a solution, unless you count raze-and-restart. That worked. And now I upload images that used to fail.
