Thumbnails and image size options gone

Check with your hosts that GD Library is installed & running properly on your server.

Thanks esmi, I’ve asked my host and I’ll post what they say when they back to me.

I’m also noticing that custom fields no longer work and I can’t save new ones. None of my custom fields show up in a dropdown box and when I try to type in new ones, it says “Please provide a custom field value” despite me entering the value.

Another piece of the puzzle. Anyone have ideas?

They’ve indicated GD Library is up and running properly. They also made a fresh WordPress install on my Grid-Server and couldn’t recreate the problem.

Could this be a problem with the functions.php file?

Have you tried:

– deactivating all plugins to see if this resolves the problem? If this works, re-activate the plugins one by one until you find the problematic plugin(s).

– switching to the Twenty Ten theme to rule out any theme-specific problems?

– resetting the plugins folder by FTP or PhpMyAdmin? Sometimes, an apparently inactive plugin can still cause problems.

I’ve gone into myphpadmin and found that the wp_postmeta table has crashed:

#145 – Table ‘./db94481_gazette/wp_postmeta’ is marked as crashed and should be repaired

This would explain thumbnails and custom field crashes, right?

Now investigating how exactly we can repair it.

Stuart, can you share your fix when you find it? I’m having exactly the same problem.
