Media upload – "HTTP Error" after upgrade to WP 3.8

  • Good morning – I hope someone can help with this. Yesterday I successfully uploaded some images – no error messages, thumbnails were there, all was good. Then I upgraded WP to 3.8. Now I get a generic message of an “http error” with nothing to identify what the error is. The image is there, but with no thumbnail in the media library. In the 2013 theme, the image will show up – but larger than I want it. With most other themes, it’s just not there. I’ve sent a link to the site showing an icon instead of an image.

    I have tried: deactivating all plugins, re-installing WP 3.8, and using the 2013 theme – that didn’t help.
    my server host has identified and fixed a problem with the upload path, and has checked the temp files.

    As this site if for an art portfolio, it’s important to get the look right, so any help will be greatly appreciated.
    Thank you!

  • I’m the server host for EllenGTodd. Some more details: after the upgrade to 3.8, image upload wasn’t working at all, as many (not all) upgraders have found. Following a tip elsewhere on this forum I manually edited the database to fix the upload_path (in the options table) — it had gone blank.

    After that we could upload photos. But still no thumbnails were generated.

    Again following a tip elsewhere in this forum, I looked at the ImageMagick library that PHP uses. These files in the /wp-includes directory:

    class-wp-image-editor-gd.php
    class-wp-image-editor-imagick.php
    class-wp-image-editor.php

    all had different sizes than the equivalent files in a 3.6.1 install. I moved them aside and copied in the corresponding files from 3.6.1. Result: still no thumbnails (so I restored the 3.8 files).

    Duplicate threads really aren’t cool on these forums…
