Images do not upload in custom theme

Hello @juliangk,

Sorry for delay with answer.

The save_attachment function uses the standard WP function media_handle_upload. This function exists in the core since 2.5.0. Thus, it should work well with old themes.

Perhaps the reason is not the theme? Have you checked the Tools -> Site Health page?

You can also try troubleshooting mode in the Health Check & Troubleshooting plugin to find the cause of the problem.

Hi,
I have this same problem but with the Astra Theme.
Which does not upload the attachment and leave it only as text
regards

Hello @quecodig,

Have you tried the recommendations from my previous answer?

P.S. Please create a separate topic for a separate question next time. This makes navigation a lot easier. Thanks.

Hello Denis,

We finally found the problem, the old theme developer deregistered jQuery, that is why it was not working.

It is working as intended now.

Hello juliangk,

Glad to hear that you solved your problem!

Thanks for sharing the solution.
