media library not working after update 4.2.2

  • Hi,
    As many other users, my media library is not working anymore. I can′t upload, or see the thumbnails. I can just see the wordpress default image over and over.site is working fine.

    I have already tried all those actions:
    -deactivate plugins
    -reset plugin folder
    -switch to twenty twelve template
    -Verified the permissions on upload folder (755)
    -switch php to 5.5
    -unchecked settings>media>organize per month
    -uploaded one image via ftp, doesn’t show in media library (just the name of the file)

    I am running out of options, any other ideas?

    Thanks,
    Anne-Catherine Wambersie

    I forgot :
    I also replaced the htaccess file by the original one.

    None of those actions solved the problem!

    I have the exact same problem and done the same. I hope someone know what to do!

    I have 3 websites. 2 websites seem to be working perfectly. I just installed WP in a new website (4 times installing and reinstalling) and the media library is not working at all. I’m hoping someone has the answer.

    We finally found a solution so I want to share it with those who are still struggling.

    After excluding all the options (plugins, theme, ftp, htaccess), we went to the Database.

    In wordpress, Images are attachments and attachments are posts. We found in the post table, the images-posts that were coming back many times and deleted them.

    SELECT
    ID, post_tupe, guid FROM mf_posts
    WHERE post_type = “attachment” AND guid = “https://www.site.com/wp-content/uploads/url photo.jpg”

    DELETE
    FROM mf_posts
    WHERE post_type = “attachment” AND guid = “https://www.site.com/wp-content/uploads/url photo.jpg”

    This solved the problem!
