Cannot Crop Images

  • I cannot crop images in the media library. I’m not sure if image editing is as it should be.

    I’m using WP 5.5, theme 2020 on Ubuntu Lamp PHP 7.4.3, mysql 8.0.21, apache2 2.4.41

    I’ve checked Visual Editor Not Disabled in user settings.

    I’ve installed plugin Enable jQuery Migrate Helper as suggested here:

    When I navigate to Media Library and then click ‘Edit’ under an (jpeg or png) image, the only thing I can do is change the Alt Text, Caption, Description & Permalink.

    Should be able to crop images here?

    Any suggestions appreciated.

  • You can install a plugin like Advanced Custom Fields: Image Aspect Ratio Crop that will crop your images. By default, most images are not going to be cropped.

    WordPress will crop images when using functions like add_image_size() but you don’t have that much say over how they are cropped. Customizer can also be set to crop images but it isn’t the default. It really depends on the theme or plugin developer to determine if the image is cropped or not.
