Thanks for the hints so far, esmi, much appreciated.

Additional info:
The theme I’m using is a Pro theme I bought here.
In fact I have made a Child Theme for customizing the stylesheet.

Hi esmi, thanks for your quick response. And what a good one, I first tried temporary renaming the plugins folder to disable it, that didn’t make a change. BUT! When I use the default Theme (Twenty Twelve) the problem is no longer there! So there seems to be a problem in the theme’s functions.php perhaps?

Doesn’t work for me. Will this be fixed in an update of the plugin? https://goo.gl/qRGBF

I had a smilar problem. The theme I was customizing came with it’s own resizing method. I replaced their image loading code with:

<?php the_post_thumbnail('post-image'); ?>

And now it uses the thumbnail as cropped by the WP image uploader!

I’m testing my website here.
I found this plugin that offers a solution to my problem.

I’d really like to be able to create a custom gallery from the files in my media library at any time. Multiple galleries per post as well. Wouldn’t that be a more logical approach anyway?

and if i just want to remove the title of my static frontpage?
any idea’s?

solved it, don’t know exactly how. since i had a backup of my posts i deleted my wordpress mysql database through phpmyadmin, then created a new. now it works. dont know what the problem was..

hey i think i’ve got the same problem: i was migrating one wp installation to another, i thought i’d manually move the uploads folder from my old server install to my new server install.
after moving the uploads folder i wanted to import my exported xml and i get this same error:

Unable to create directory /Users/sjogro/Sites/wp-content/uploads/2009/09. Is its parent directory writable by the server?

chmodded the uploads 777, no change.

wait a minute… as I paste this I realize WP is looking in a wrong folder to upload. It should be /Users/sjogro/Sites/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2009/09…!!

how do I fix this ??

I can’t get the auto upgrade to work either. I get this error “Unable to locate WordPress Plugin directory.” I use this (example) info:

hostname: https://ftp.host.com
username: ftp-user
password: xxxxxxx

and I was wondering if I need to add some /folders/ to the hostname or something, since my wordpress is in a folder called /wp/…
does anyone know?

@fivepercent: I don’t understand your solution.

I logged in as the user whose home directory was where WP is installed (in ~/wordpress) — all was well. No other special configurations were needed.

…meaning you logged in where as who to do what???

err how do i “use” the test script posted earlier? where do i put it?

awesome, now how do i check my GD settings or how do I turn it on. i host my own site on a server box that supports php but i don’t know shiiit. help would rule. rock.

same problem here, thank god there is a topic already. is this gonna be fixed in an update or should i be able to fix this now?
i host my own server, with php, and i don’t have a clue what GD is. hah!
also, i tried switching off all plugins but that didn’t change anything about the problem. please help!

sorry i couldn’t help you by the way. i read your message and saw what you figured out, but i don’t understand where you copied what into where..
