Media Library Upload fail

I have had this problem for the last 24 hours. I originally thought it was an issue with a plugin, but after deleting all plugins, it ended up being WordPress.

I tried all the options offered on the forums with no luck. I tried completely deleting the wordpress site then deploying it fresh as V4.5.2. Same problem.

The only thing I could do to fix this was to download V4.4 and restore the folders and files over the top of V4.5.2. Once I did this, it was back to working fine. Now my plugins that werent working are now Ok too.

Hello

go to database and use this query
SELECT * FROM wp_options WHERE option_name LIKE ‘upload_path’
and remove “option_value”

@prakash and @coryz thanks for your replies. Although I anticipated having to reinstall WP, I would like to avoid it at all costs.

I will try the database thing but 1 problem… I am more than a new at WP and I don’t know how to get to the database, or even where to look. Is it through Dashboard? Can you be a little more descriptive? Thank you.

I have had the same problem since the auto update last night.

I have reinstalled WordPress 4.5.1 and am still having the same issues.

I can’t successfully upload anything to the media library – I get HTTP error. Then the image appears in the media library but is corrupt and has no value.

I had no issues with 4.5.1 yesterday!

I found this on another thread and it’s fixed it:

Open (functions.php)

The top line is:

<?php

Changed it to:

<?php

add_filter( ‘wp_image_editors’, ‘change_graphic_lib’ );

function change_graphic_lib($array) {
return array( ‘WP_Image_Editor_GD’, ‘WP_Image_Editor_Imagick’ );
}
