Hello Phil,

It’s somewhere in the php.ini file, which is the PHP configuration file.
It must be in the PHP root directory (not the website directory).

If you don’t manage the server, you’ll need to ask the IT/Sys admin team to make this modification.

Sorry for the unsure information.

Hello everybody,

After a good research and some meetings with the infra people, we changed the pcre.backtrack_limit value to 1000000 and it solved the problem.
So, looks like it’s just a PHP5 config issue.

mrmist, thanks for the link!

ahollier, have you checked it? The author said it’s created by a setting new in PHP 5.2.0, what makes sense with whooami’s suggestion.

I’m talking with my hosting companies about it.

@ahoolier: wow, you’ve been busy lately! Sorry for taking so long in answering, and sorry (in advance) for not being really useful.

I have 60< thumbnails with caption, and they aren’t links. They are placed in HTML tables (not the same table, actually).
I haven’t tried removing the caption and/or the tables.

To be honest, I don’t understand how it could be a problem with the table element. Something not right with [caption] is more reasonable to me.

I can try something, if you wish to. Is there anything special I could run to check out the behavior?

@whooami
thank you for your time, pal. I have checked in one of the servers where I’m having this issue, and, in fact, it’s running PHP 5.2.5.
Unfortunately, I’m not able to connect to the other right now.

When you discovered the error, just downgrading the PHP version corrected it?

I totally agree with ahollier when she says that, even if it is and issue with WP x PHP, WP coders should care to correct it ASAP.

Hey you all, me and ahollier have been discussing the same problem here https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/258188.

Notice the date when I started the topic… it’s awful.

Could we do something to ask for a help?

hey pal, I did the same test here.
I copied all the files from the client’s web server and uploaded to my hosting service (just, of course, changing URLs and wp-config), but the problem continues.

Just as you said, if you query for the post with phpMyAdmin (or any other DB management tool), you’ll see that the content, actually, is at the DB, but neither HTML or visual editors show then, just like when you browse for the page.

Let’s put things like this:
– we have a big content;
– we are able to insert/update it to the DB;
– we are unable to load it from the DB when browsing pages (admin or public).

It could be, what, a DB timeout?!
If it was only a problem to load the thumbnails, at least the text should be displayed, but it’s not the case.

If it wasn’t for our recent tests (on other servers), I would say it’s a DB problem, but now… it’s hard to come to a diagnostic.

Just FYI:
– Client’s web server: MySQL 5.0.26-Max
– My hosting service: 5.1.30-community-log

I’m losing my religion down here.

hey ahollier, thanks for passing by
actually, i’m still facing this issue. I’m creating a lab WP installation in another server to see whether it’s an infra or a WP problem.

Up!
Guys, seriously, this problem is really pissing me off.
If anyone can help I would appreciate.

Hey Rory,

Thanks for your attention.
I forgot to mention that I already tried it. Also, when I thought it could be some kind of limitation on the number of images, I started removing one by one and checking if the page worked.
When I had around 30 images (sorry, but I’m not sure), the page loaded fine.

Hello there,

attach, I was facing the same trouble. Still don’t know the reasons, but I worked a way out. Hope it helps you too.

1. From https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/164999?replies=1
“Additional: A new issue in WordPress 2.6 occurs when you have a custom directory for file uploads. The upload will work, but the link/thumbnail link will be wrong and so the image won’t appear. This is a bug which can be fixed in one of two ways (either works):
a) Specify the correct URL to the upload directory in the “optional” field just below the custom image path field.
b) There’s a new wp-includes/functions.php which will eliminate the issue. Download it and replace your existing wp-includes/functions.php file with it. This fix will be in 2.6.1.”

2. Change your upload location, that must be empty now (what means, the default location), to wp-content/uploads/2. Create the /2 subdirectory with write permissions.

3. Try uploading something.
