error uploading images into media library

  • This is really annoying. Many images that I upload through media library will not crunch. They fail to complete the process through crunching, which means they are not in the media library.
    When I try to re-upload the same images later, WordPress refuses to accept them, even if I change the file names, re-edit the images to create new.
    It seems like WordPress recognises the initial image no matter what its filename or dimensions are changed to and refuses to allow it to be uploaded again.
    This has happened across two themes, on about four occasions, so I feel it is not theme specific.

    Today I have just completed writing a new post, but media library failed to upload three images. This means I can never use these images for this post, so I may as well delete the post because the images are specific to the post.
    Has anyone else come across this problem?
    Would be grateful for any advice. Thanks

    Hi, I think this is definitely file size specific. If I drop the file size then it crunches okay. A file at 2000px will not crunch,(not that I’d want to upload 2000px images :-)), so I need to find out what is maximum file size I can upload.
    I know that the WordPress spec is maximum is 8mb. Is this compressed file size, or files size when uncompressed into the database.
    I’ll try a range at 1000px and above and see when it stops uploading.

    Hi, esmi,
    It looks as though maximum file size is 1100px compressed at 60 jpeg.
    I tried 1200px compressed but it refused to upload. The file size for that is 66kb.
    So it looks as though the WordPress maximum is 8mb uncompressed filesize in the database, and not the compressed file.
    What do you think?
    All previous three images uploaded okay now at 1000px.
    Thanks for your assistance
