Won't let me upload a featured image

  • For the last couple of days WordPress will not let me upload a featured image. When I try to upload one, it just gives me a blank box, and the light blue “Featured Image” button isn’t clickable.

  • Do you get any errors?

    Nope, nothing.

    The box that pops up when you click “Set Featured Image” just pops up blank.

    Did you try disabling all the plugins and they re-try to see if any plugin is causing any issues?

    You may also want to check either webserver error log or enable WP debug mode

    I tried disabling all the plugins already.

    What’s WP Debug mode, and how would I check the webserver error log?

    Step1:
    Edit your wp-config.php and uncomment these:

    define(‘WP_DEBUG’, true);
    define(‘WP_DEBUG_LOG’, true);
    define(‘WP_DEBUG_DISPLAY’, false);

    Step2:
    then try to upload a featured image.

    Step3:
    Open wp-content folder. There should be a file called debug.log. Open it and check if there are any clues on why the featured image might not be working.

    Okay, I found where they’re, but how do i uncomment them?

    I am having the same problem – Error message only says
    The uploaded file could not be moved to wp-content/uploads/2015/10
