Problems with 4.5 upgrade ADD MEDIA not working

For anybody that has issues with the visual composer not working, I deactivated it then deleted it and reinstalled it. That worked for me. Does anybody know how to fix the issues with the revolution slider? Or do we have to wait for them to fix the bugs and release a new version…?

@jeffreybarruga: Revolution Slider is a premium/paid plugin not supported here; check the site where you got the plugin.

I have tried the above suggestions.:ie: different browsers etc.
Didn’t work for me on chrome or firefox. I think the bug issues have to be rectified in the updates and then I will update. Until i receive a message that the bugs have been rectified in the update I will not update. I can’t afford to lose the information on my site. I have set my back ups now to daily,so yesterday’s episode does not happen to me again.

Never mind. I was able to install vers 4.4.2.

The issue seems to be related to media libraries that don’t use the default location:

Everything’s fine on my test server with WP 4.5 with the media library default location at /wp-content/uploads/ but my live system (with the same theme) uses /images instead via “define(‘UPLOADS’, ‘images’);” in wp-config.php.

When I access the media library at /wp-admin/upload.php the settings in wp-config.php are ignored and the media library tries to find the images in the default location where they are not available.

Images in older posts still load but post thumbnails are broken.

The media upload is broken as well: When I upload a new image the actual file is stored correctly at /images. But the media browser is looking for the file at https://www.domain.com/wp-content/uploads//var/www/domain/htdocs/images/

When I remove “define(‘UPLOADS’, ‘images’);” from wp-config.php new uploads are fine but the old images who reside at /images don’t show up.

I did a fast check on a brand new, clean site. Works perfectly as expected.

Can you double check that you put that define ABOVE this line:

/* That's all, stop editing! Happy blogging. */

Mine looks like this at the bottom:

define( 'WP_DEBUG', true );

define('UPLOADS', 'images');

/* That's all, stop editing! Happy blogging. */

/** Absolute path to the WordPress directory. */
if ( !defined('ABSPATH') )
	define('ABSPATH', dirname(__FILE__) . '/');

/** Sets up WordPress vars and included files. */
require_once(ABSPATH . 'wp-settings.php');

Fresh install of 4.5 here and unable to upload any image in admin panel. Add me to the list

An error occurred in the upload. Please try again later.

Everyone.

Did you do ALL of those suggested steps to troubleshoot?

WordPress works fine on it’s own. These issues have been proven to be with specific plugins and themes, most of which are fixed, you just have to upgrade your themes and plugins ?? This is normal. You cannot upgrade WP and not the plugins and themes.

@mutantcheese – I cannot reproduce this on a fresh install of WP (literally deleted everything wiped the DB, started from scratch). Images upload fine, regardless of if I change the UPLOAD define or not. You seem to have a different issue though.

Are you getting a specific error? Please tell us. We cannot read minds ?? Take a screenshot if you think that will help show the error, but please pay close attention to what is actually happening. Read the error messages. Many are very helpful ??

I quoted the error in my post.

Please turn on debugging .

Put define( 'WP_DEBUG', true ); in your wp-config, ABOVE the stop-editing line.

That has been disabled by my host apparently…

Warning: ini_set() has been disabled for security reasons in /home/bellsmakeup/public_html/wp-includes/load.php on line 292

I just ran a test on one of my other wp sites running 4.4.2. I was able to upload images fine. I updated to 4.5 and updated all plugins and themes. Now I can not upload an image.

What ‘that’? You mean you can’t add wp-debug, or when you do you get that ini_set issue?

Because that’d be a whole mess a trouble.

yes, I only changed false to true in the line that was already there.

Ah, okay, no by default it’s set to false ??

Is the ini_set error the only one you get on media uploads?

If so, can you find out what version of ImageMagick is on your server?
