Moved site to new server, can't resize images to thumbnail anymore!

  • So I recently moved my site over to another server (godaddy VPS) and everything went smooth.

    The only bug I have to cope with now is the following;

    I can’t select thumbnail anymore on any images I upload, the functionality simply disappeared. Does anyone know why that is?

    Have you discussed this with your webhost?

    Hi Tara, it shouldn’t be related to my host – at least I don’t see why. Everything works on the site except that, so it should be an internal wordpress issue no? I’m running a godaddy VPS so I’m in control of everything.

    The reason I suggested that was that there is no such issue known to exist with the WordPress

    Huh? Why do you say that.

    It hasn’t been widely reported here. Do you have this problem using a default theme with all plugins deactivated?

    Because experience dealing with thousands of support topics on these forums since 3.8 was released would suggest that this is specific to your site.

    Interesting, yeah maybe it’s a plugin interfering. I actually found a similar thread with a similar problem so I just don’t understand the fuss concerning ‘you’re the only one with this problem’. From what I understand I have to deactivate the plugins one by one and see if it persists.

    @lawrns Did you find a solution to this? I’m having the same trouble. So far in my research I found the following:

    1. Images are not resizing. – When I look in the uploads file there are no re-sized copies as I find on my other VPS.
    2. There is supposed to be some server software that does this. Zend or GD or something. I’m guessing this isn’t configured on my GoDaddy VPS.

    I’m trying to find instructions on how to check this and install/activate it if not set up.

    I found the answer for others looking. The problem is the GD Library is not installed.

    To install the GD Library:
    – Log in to WHM and navigate to Software->EasyApache
    – Select “Start customizing based on profile”
    – proceed through to step 5 “Exhaustive Options List”
    – Choose PHP and check off GD
    – Save and Build the new profile

    Once complete you images should now resize when uploaded.
