@clausfaber it looks like the issue will become solved in WP 6.7 release which is due in a couple of days – https://make.www.ads-software.com/core/2024/08/15/automatic-conversion-of-heic-images-to-jpeg-in-wordpress-6-7/

+ another one

I have precisely the same situation as described by the OP (but my PHP version is higher),
Siteground,
WordPress 6.6.2
PHP 8.3,
HEIC support: 2.1.3
I am able to (and have) activated imageMagick.

HEIC Support plugin shows as ‘activated’, I get the headings showing (as below) but none of the actual control settings are showing.

HEIC Support
Control how .heic images are handled during uploads.
Test

Also thanks for this plug-in – if we can work out what’s stopping it working it will be an amazing solution to a specific issue.

Not 100% but i think this is the key stuff in the media.php file that is different (line 664):

if ( $width < "440" ) { $new_width = "200"; $theClass = "eachpost "; }
				else if ( $width < "660" ) { $new_width = "430"; $theClass = "eachpost twocols"; }
					else { $new_width = "660"; $theClass = "eachpost threecols"; }

Does anyone know what the additional functionality in the media.php is?
Is it portable so we can put it in a plugin or add it in an other way?

Yep. This is also true for me and was resolved this morning. This is what my server admin said to me:

“It was a combination of switching to using fopen() instead of curl() and updating the firewall to allow it access”

Good luck!

Am having the same problem. Updated to 2.8.4.

Front end is working ok as far as i can tell.

– Admin is now running v slow.

Dashboard errors:
the following say: Loading.. followed by time out message:
– Incoming links – RSS Error: WP HTTP Error: couldn’t connect to host
– dev blog – RSS Error: WP HTTP Error: connect() timed out!
– other news – RSS Error: WP HTTP Error: connect() timed out!
– plugins – nothing at all (blank)

I haven’t come across a fix for this that works, tried turning off all plugins, no effect. Any ideas anyone?

Thanks
