Post 3.8.1 media upload troubles

  • I have several websites running WordPress 3.8.1, using three different hosting services. What occurs is on upload of seemingly any image – I’ve tested a smattering of sizes – the image appears to upload, gets to the “crunching” part then nothing further happens, no matter how long I wait. The next page with the thumbnail and “Edit” link never appear. Further, the resized versions are never created. Consequently, the image is pretty much unusable in any fashion the direct link to the image gives a 404 error.

    I’ve tried several “fixes” to no avail, gone plain vanilla, no plugins and the 20-14 theme, bumped the memory in the wp-config file all to no avail. The problem seemed to start with the 3.8.1 upgrade, however, at least one site is still at 3.8 and exhibits the same problem – I may have not noticed it in 3.8.

    The common denominator is the hosting service, the problem is only occurring on the sites that are hosted with 1and1, all the others are fine. Using the “TPC! Memory Usage” plugin, I’ve discovered that 1and1 is using MySQL v5.1.73 – whereas the others are using v5.5.36. PHP versions are the same, save for one of the hosting services which is at 5.3.13 vs 5.4 on the others – but the older php version does not exhibit the issue.

    Need help on this as the problem turned up just as we were bout to go live with the newest site.

  • I’m running WordPress 4.0 on 1and1 web hosting and just experienced this same media upload issue. The suggested plugin default-to-gd did not change anything for me.

    The plugin to resize all thumbnails also didn’t fix this media upload bug.

    I’m still stuck, open to suggestions.

    Hey All,

    At 1&1 the plugin “default-to-gd” will not work since we still use GD. Unsure yet when we will install Imagick. Our limits do depend on the tariff you chosen.

    I am having similar problems, I can’t seem to upload pictures via add media. It keeps giving me HTTP Error, I have tried to deactivate all plugins the same results, I have also tried the default to gd plugin and it didn’t work. I have no idea what is going on because it worked earlier for me when I uploaded several images but it stopped all of a sudden with no changes in plugins.

    Also using WordPress 4.0. I am open to any suggestions as well.

    My fix to this media uploading at web host 1and1 was to add a file called php.ini in the /wp-admin folder:

    max_input_time = 60
max_execution_time = 120
upload_max_filesize = 64M
post_max_size = 64m
memory_limit = 256M

    I am not sure if Daniel Payne code help or not, but I inserted it and I tried to upload the picture I was having trouble with and it still didn’t work. However, if I uploaded other pictures other than the one that had trouble it worked.

    Thanks for the help!
