White Screen When Inserting Photos into Blog Posts

  • I am, at random times, unable to insert photos into blog posts. I get a white screen and nothing happens. The photos do not appear in the post. They are in the gallery. I can see them there. But I am unable to insert them into posts using either the HTML or Visual versions of WP. I have been having this problem since starting my blog almost two years ago – and having gone through various WP upgrades. I am using a Mac computer. It’s brand new. I got rid of my older Mac because of this problem, thinking it was a Mac issue. (My husband can insert photos from his PC with no problem – and has always been able to do so. It’s a pain to have to wait for him to come home from work to insert a picture into the blog that I write to make my living with, however.) I have posted this question before – but no one was able to help me. I’ve disabled all plugins, reset Safari, tried using convoluted FTP things (I don’t know how to do those – and why should I have to when WP supposedly is user friendly?) I’ve tried everything everyone else who has this problem has tried – to no avail. The problem is random. At this particular moment, I cannot insert photos. I haven’t been able to since an hour ago. I may be able to do it by the time I finish posting this question. Or perhaps I won’t be able to do it until tomorrow, or the weekend. It’s random. I never know when it will happen or for how long it will last. It is infuriating. I have looked into other programs besides WP but don’t know if any others will be as user friendly. If anyone out there can help me, please do. (If not, please let me know if you have a suggestion for programs other than WP. Two years of this is ridiculous. This is no way to run a business.)

    Delaine – I have been so grumpy, angry, pissed off, frustrated, infuriated etc. with the program, the lack of a solution (this is not the first time I’ve posted. This is something like the third thread I’ve begun about this problem. And some people have blamed me and insinuated my stupidity.) Believe me, the only very slightly grumpy post you wrote made me feel fantastic! So, thank you for understanding my plight. I appreciate it.

    Try my trick of saving before you insert any photos. Let me know if it works for you. Honestly, when I accidentally discovered this trick, I jumped up and down for joy. It’s been three years of frustration with no solution. I hope my trick helps you. It doesn’t always work – but it mostly does. Fingers crossed that it works for you.

    Let me know!

    Have a good night.

    It wouldn’t work again this morning.

    I did a search and found that this is an ongoing problem for many people. There have been a number of threads over the past 3 years that are now closed off. Random ideas from various people. Nothing consistent that works as a solution for all. The program shouldn’t be that touchy and difficult to deal with.

    Will try again another day.

    OK folks – please post your own topics. This topic is 9 months old and references a much older version of WordPress than that currently available.
