Thumbnails: can’t get them to work :-((

  • I have been trying to get thumbnails to work with no effect since I installed WP 1.2.
    (more than a week ago)
    When I upload a pic and ask for a thumbnail to be created, the upload works fine but at the end I always get the error message:
    “Filetype not supported. Thumbnail not created”
    If I check the upload directory, the image is there but no thumbnail.
    No matter how hard I try: jpg, gif, jpeg, makes no difference, I haven’t been able to overcame this problem!
    I must miss the obvious, perhaps some enabling code but how does it work?
    Can anybody shed some light?

  • Sounds like your server doesn’t have the “gd” installed. Not much that can be done if your server doesn’t have the image manipulation libraries available to it. ??

    Can you tell what version PHP you are running?

    Just do a simple phpinfo. It’ll tell you if GD is installed or not as well as version. <?php phpinfo(); ?>

    Are there plans for this feature to work with ImageMagick any time soon? I can’t really be bothered downloading and installing GD on my server for thumbnails. So far, because of this issue I’m just using MovableType 2.6x to upload the images and create the thumbnails automatically.
    Is there a decent document that details what features require what packages anywhere? I saw nothing that said that GD was solely required and assumed it was smart enough to find either GD or IM to work the images.

    How do I do a phpinfo? You’ve given us the code but where do I type that?

    (Yes, I know how to turn my computer on and off ??

    I am nearly crazy with the thumbnail thing – IT DOES NOT WORK! I upload the images using the upload, select ‘make a thumbnail’ but it doesn’t make a thumbnail.
