Unable to upload media. Please help me!

  • Whenever I try to upload an image nothing happens. WordPress uploads the image to the correct location on the server. I get no error or indication that something is wrong, besides that the interface where i am supposed to add title and description is blank. It is as if the file did not upload at all, but when i check it using ssh or ftp it shows me that the file is there with the permission: 664. But wordpress cannot se it or add it to whatever database its using. I have tried to ask whats up with this almost a year and noone replies ?? can someone please help me with this?

    Yes. i tried that one too, but no improvement.
    I keep thinking that it has something to do with EXIF or metadata in the jpg file. I had that problem last year. I ended up using some strange plugin for lightroom to make it export the images without any metadata. Again, that was a year ago. Surely such good webapp as wordpress would make it possible to upload pictures with metadata!? A lot of people use Iphoto or such and I have the same problem there.. I cannot imagine that this is the problem because there should be a lot more posts about this issue if that was the case alone..

    What exactly are you trying to do? WP doesn’t not support EXIF or metadata in images. Export as plain jpg from Lightroom.

    That is what I am doing.. even when i check the “limit metadata” box i have the problem. I have to manually remove all metadata from the imagefiles through file properties, before I upload them. It’s one thing that wordpress can’t handle metadata, but I wish someone could make some sort of error regarding it. Right now its uploading the images, but refuses to add them to the database, so that i have loads of images i have to manually remove from the upload folder. I guess all this has to do with PHP-GD, there should be some sort of workaround, or fix for this ;(
