WP-Cycle & WP 2.8.5

  • I’m getting a “file you uploaded does not seem to be a valid image” error when I try to upload images to WP-Cycle. I’ve checked the permissions, path, have deleted and reinstalled the plugin, and searched for other answers. The only thing I can find is a warning when I reinstalled that the plugin has not been tested with v. 2.8.5. Is there a problem there or is there something else I missed?

    I also tried uploading images with FTP to the upload folder in the wp-content directory. Still nothing shows.

    I’m running it on 2.8.5 without any problems. Might be worth doing the following, which I’ve had to do a few times in the past:

    1. Remove the plugin

    2. Add this line to your theme’s functions.php file (between <?php ?> tags, if they’re not already there)

    delete_option(‘wp_cycle_settings’);
    delete_option(‘wp_cycle_images’);

    3. Then reload your dashboard. Then, go back into your functions.php file and remove those lines.

    4. Upload the plugin once again and try again.

    Other than that I don’t know what else to suggest. Good luck

    You must not have created uploads folder inside wp-content.
    Create uploads folder and modify the permissions. You might also need to create 2009 and 11 folder as well.
    Good luck. It worked for me.

    I am running WP 2.8.6.

    The plugin works fine. I had this exact same issue. You need to change the permissions on wp-content/uploads to CHMOD 777.
    You will find that you can then upload your images.

    Also, the plugin resizes the images and creates a thumbnail through the admin upload interface, so to FTP them to the wp-content/uploads is a waste of time.

    You will probably be best advised to amend the wp-content/uploads permissions back to CHMOD 755 once you have uploaded your images.
