@zane stop being antagonistic towards the community, it won’t help anything.

@kmessinger – I am not sure, so busy I haven’t had time to look. I will have another look soon.

I just tried a reinstall of WordPress and disabling all the plugins twice, it still doesn’t work for large images or those with certain characters in the name. Please can I get some help as this has been going on for ages and I have tried everything I can think of.

@lukejanicke I have tried this and it doesn’t fix it but the issue is identical to that which you describe!

In the Media section is just gets stuck crunching and shows no error, although the file shows up in the uploaded files list okay.

If I upload manually it just stops on a blank white page.

Is anyone able to help us?

Hey,

I can’t test this because I would have to email 600 people but I am sure it works, thanks!

This issue was resolved by activating the plugin Network Wide, as the defined constant WP_INSTALLING at the top of wp-activate.php prevents plugins loading that aren’t site wide.

I am also having this problem, it seems that wpmu_activate_user and wpmu_activate_blog don’t get called from plugins.

To verify I put did_action( xxxx ) at the end of wp-activate.php and confirmed it only gets called once regardless of whether I have my code or not. Looks like plugins aren’t loaded in wp-activate.php

Can anyone suggest a solution, I had hoped that add_signup_meta would transfer any additional meta data over to the usermeta table automatically but this isn’t happening either.

Under:
Settings > Media > Embeds

Check that you have enabled:
‘When possible, embed the media content from a URL directly onto the page. For example: links to Flickr and YouTube.’

Also make sure you are pasting the URL in the HTML view not the Content view as it converts to html entities.

No you’ve pasted it into the WYSIWYG editor form Chrome or an equally annoying browser which converts the url from your address bar into a HTML link…

Just put the URL without an around it and it should work.
