not possible to upload images after upgrade to WP 3.8

  • I am having the same issue as described here (https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/not-resolved-404-error-on-uploaded-images?replies=4#post-5000336) and unfortunately the issue is *not* resolved.

    Since upgrading to WP 3.8, I am unable to upload any images. The upload process itself looks like it is working, but then the image does not appear. This is affecting all of the WP sites that I updated to 3.8.

    FYI, I have already tried deactivating ALL plugins and switching to the default theme. I also cleared caches and reset my permalinks.
    These steps did not fix the problem.

    My .htaccess files do *not* contain: <Files *.php>deny from all</Files>

    Assistance with this would be much appreciated!!

  • The only (poor) resolution I found is to roll back to 3.7.1.

    I have six other sites running 3.7.1. and working just fine. (The images appear when I insert them from my ‘Media” files. They display on a published page and post.

    I’m SO glad I didn’t update those sites!)

    I DO NOT consider this work-around a permanent fix nor is this issue resolved.

    I have resolved the above issue and posted my fix at https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/not-resolved-404-error-on-uploaded-images

    I’m also having troubles with the media section since updating to v3.8. I can upload but it doesn’t show them when I look at items uploaded to this post and I can’t delete media under the media section tab.

    Is there a fix available yet does anyone know?

    @parameri – if the above solution doesn’t fix your problem, you need to start your own thread as per the forum guidelines – https://codex.www.ads-software.com/Forum_Welcome#Where_To_Post

    I have spent several hours reading your forum on 3.8 and image upload issues. I am having similar issues. I have read all methods of rectifying this problem. Please fix 3.8

    @scriptrightconsulting –

    3.8 is not broken. IF you’d like help with your fixing your site, please start your own thread as posted right above your post.

    Hi,
    I have had the same problem and after I’ve checked permissions on upload folder I’ve realised that they were not sufficient. So, when I’ve changed them in cpanel to 755 everthing was OK again.

    I was using the UploadPlus plugin, which caused the problem.
    I found the solution here:
    https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/upload-fails-if-exif-support-is-not-enabled

    This is what I got when trying to upload media to WordPress 3.8
    “P1010042.jpg” has failed to upload due to an error
    Unable to create directory wp-content/uploads/2014/01. Is its parent directory writable by the server?
    Clearing caches and deactivating plugins didn’t work for me.
    Also tried ticking and un-ticking “Organize my uploads into month-and year-based folders” at dashboard/ settings/media/ uploading settings.

    I only had success when I went to ftp program (FileZilla) on my laptop.
    Wp (WordPress) actually needs you to update your ftp server file folders: on your computer’s side and on the remote site side, eg:

    Remote site: folder/www/html/wp-content/uploads/
    Right click uploads and create the new year’s directory, eg: 2014
    Then right click the 2014 and make a month directory, eg: 01.
    Repeat for additional months, eg: 02, 03, etc.

    Next step: change permissions:
    Right click on the year and months, change each uploads directory permissions from 755 to 777. Hope other folks have the same possitive results as I got. https://www.adafagan.co.za

    I had the same problem.

    Is it safe to set the permissions to 777?

    @prenschler: I think permission 777 for upload folder isn’t safe.

    I had the same/similar problem. In WP 3.7, the images I had been uploading were 1000px square, and never more than 1MB. This worked fine.

    After upgrading, the files needed to be MUCH smaller (100px square).

    On a hunch, I raised the server’s php.ini “memory_limit” from 32MB to 64MB and restarted Apache. This totally solved the problem.

    Are you using WP Smush it plugin? If yes, then try re-installing the plugin or remove it completely.

    I had the same/similar problem on juristpedia.ro
