I have two blogs running on the same server and one worked and the other didn't. I looked at all the stuff here, I deleted plugins, tables, images, etc. </p> <p>For whatever reason I decided to try editing my galleries in IE and low and behold the thumbnails work again. </p> <p>I'm sure it has something to do with the junk I have running on Firefox but Chrome didn't work. I'm not running the latest IE either it's IE6.</p> <p>Hope this helps someone. </p> http://wordpress.org/support/topic/242075/page/3#post-1259678 Mon, 26 Oct 2009 18:42:49 +0000 a_johnson 1259678@http://wordpress.org/support/ <p>Update: I moved the site off of 1and1 and all my problems disappeared. </p> <p><a href="http://wordpress.org/support/topic/325044?replies=1#post-1259451" rel="nofollow">http://wordpress.org/support/topic/325044?replies=1#post-1259451</a> </p> http://wordpress.org/support/topic/242075/page/3#post-1257233 Sat, 24 Oct 2009 00:49:31 +0000 a_johnson 1257233@http://wordpress.org/support/ <p>Nope, same error message.

When I upload images, few 4-5 thumb created others reports the following error:</p> <p>ID 5017: A failure occurred<br /> [more]<br /> [object XMLHttpRequest]</p></blockquote> <p>I hit this same problem after maybe couple of updates of WP and NextGen-gallery plugin. I started to look this more closely since everthing I did for the php config or WP did not seem to work. Fortunately I have own virtual server and I'm able to look what happens. </p> <p>The plugin seems to do this in some certain circumstances I don't know:<br /> 1. when uploading images it makes thumbnails on the fly which seems to eat up lot of resources. It makes some thumbnails but when memory fulls it skips the rest.<br /> 2. when trying to make thumbnails in Manage Gallery section it totally eats up apaches resources and some cases even gets the server on the knees.</p> <p>I have 256+256 memory and ordinarily used memory is about 50-60Mb but when I try to make just one thumbnail it eats up hole memory and even the swap file too and server some time crashes and I have to restart it again.</p> <p>Could there be a bug in that gd.thumbnail.inc.php-file? Something which could get the script looping and thus eating all the memory?</p> <p>I have LAMP with ubuntu jaunty and latest updates.</p> <p>If I can be for any help, please let me know. </p> http://wordpress.org/support/topic/242075/page/3#post-1216214 Fri, 18 Sep 2009 12:38:22 +0000 toscalindeboom 1216214@http://wordpress.org/support/ <p>I have exactly the same problems:<br /> images of no greater than 40 kB and no thumbnails!!</p> <p>But then I went to my host and turned off the 'Safe Mode' in my profile.<br /> I also changed the permission settings of my gallery map on the server to 777.</p> <p>I really have little idea of what this all means, but hell, <strong>it works!</strong></p> <p>Good luck to all </p> http://wordpress.org/support/topic/242075/page/3#post-1213378 Wed, 16 Sep 2009 02:13:11 +0000 enhbaatar 1213378@http://wordpress.org/support/ <p>I'm having the same issue with NextGen gallery: it won't generate thumbnails.

So the images upload fine and then are unable to create thumbnails because they cannot be read. In order to create the thumbnails I have to change all of the permissions on the files for the CREATOR OWNER to full control.</p> <p>I'm running on IIS with Windows 7 x64 RC, not that that is a big reason for it. It just looks like that whoever is creating the images is also setting the permissions strangely... perhaps not even with proper read permissions. </p> http://wordpress.org/support/topic/242075/page/3#post-1148750 Thu, 23 Jul 2009 16:35:59 +0000 adamholz 1148750@http://wordpress.org/support/ <p>Similar issue using WP 2.8 and NextGen</p> <p>Using my custom theme, I get the following error message when uploading images: </p> <p>ID 1: A failure occurred<br /> [more]<br /> 1</p> <p>The images are uploaded but the "Edit thumb" link does not display the image and does not work. Occasionally, the image is uploaded to the "gallery" dir but the thumb is not created and the image is not listed in the gallery.</p> <p>If I switch to the default theme, everything works perfectly. </p> <p>I have tried uninstall/reinstall, increasing PHP memory limit, deleting all plugins, etc. and the above two situations stay the same. </p> <p>Does anyone know why the theme would affect the uploading process and thumbnail editing? </p> http://wordpress.org/support/topic/242075/page/3#post-1143901 Sun, 19 Jul 2009 18:32:55 +0000 xtremetoonz 1143901@http://wordpress.org/support/ <p>I am having the same thumbnail problem and would be happy to offer access to my virtual server to troubleshoot the issue.

The file size was 3,179 bytes. Tried to import it in NGG and got the same error when creating the thumbnail (A failure occurred [object XMLHttpRequest]).</p> <p>So if it's a memory issue I suppose it's related to the image dimension rather than file size... well... in my case anyway.</p> <p>I suppose all image manipulation should be done offline anyway and then uploaded to the server. </p> http://wordpress.org/support/topic/242075/page/3#post-1135591 Mon, 13 Jul 2009 03:58:19 +0000 jwcalla 1135591@http://wordpress.org/support/ <p>Yeah I seem to get this error again when I have images over a certain size (dimension). I can do 800x531 but not 800x600.</p> <p>I'm about ready to give up. </p> http://wordpress.org/support/topic/242075/page/3#post-1133463 Sat, 11 Jul 2009 00:56:56 +0000 tommy1975 1133463@http://wordpress.org/support/ <p>hey im having a issue with thumbnails as well. Its a little different, I dont have any probs making them and all that, but when i go 2 display them on my gallery page the gallery thumbnail doesn't show, but you can still click on it and opens up the full gallery and then i only have the first 7 pics come up with thumbnails. Have a look at my page and see what I mean. I've tried heaps and heaps of things and am still stuck. It did use to work, but cant remember if it was with an older ver of nextgen or wp 2.7.</p> <p><a href="http://tommydownunder.com">tommydownunder.com</a> </p> http://wordpress.org/support/topic/242075/page/3#post-1128731 Tue, 07 Jul 2009 09:04:57 +0000 pinar 1128731@http://wordpress.org/support/ <p>Hi,<br /> i was having the same problems and found the solution after reading kobera's post. i disabled other plugins and tried again and "cforms" was causing a conflict with ngg. now everything's working properly. what i suggest is to upload all photos and later activate your plugins. i know this is not the way it's supposed to be but this is the only solution. </p> http://wordpress.org/support/topic/242075/page/3#post-1128583 Tue, 07 Jul 2009 04:33:02 +0000 kobera 1128583@http://wordpress.org/support/ <p>Hi!<br /> I had the same problem.

Nextgen uploads images and creates thumbnails just fine, but I can only see the thumbnails in the manage gallery tab under sort gallery. I can sort the order at will, but that is the only place the thumbnails ever show up. The sorting works and the changes appear on my pages, but I can only see the thumbnails by sorting them. Problem if i want to add tags, move, delete, etc. Any help? </p> http://wordpress.org/support/topic/242075/page/3#post-1094180 Sun, 07 Jun 2009 08:36:14 +0000 dk5dc 1094180@http://wordpress.org/support/ <p>I also ran into the problem when I was forced to update WP a week ago.<br /> It is definitely a memory problem. Period. With the standard 40MByte php Memory Space and about 13 MByte Space being used by WP itself (no widgets and plugins active/installed at all) you are not able to upload a picture which increases above 640x480.<br /> That makes nextgen definitely unuseable for all those WP users who have an account by the average hosting provider such as 1und1 and subsidiaries, which don't increase the space unless you pay them $$.<br /> Sad, because 640x480 is no longer state of the art in the photo and picture world. Sad because nextgens capabilities to integrate as widgets in the sidebar so easily is really an advantage compared to other gallery solutions. Specially for those who have really little time to concentrate on beautifying their WP.<br /> In other words, I gave up (yes, even 1.30b1 did not solve the problem)</p> <p>Peter </p> http://wordpress.org/support/topic/242075/page/3#post-1072675 Wed, 13 May 2009 02:09:30 +0000 jwcalla 1072675@http://wordpress.org/support/ <p>I was struggling with the same problem for a bit but when I de-activated the "Yet Another Related Posts Plugin" (YARPP 3.0.4) I was able to get back to creating thumbnails. Not sure what the conflict is there.</p> <p>Also, I've watched 'top' on my server while running the php script to create the thumbnails and the max memory used was 24M. My php memory limit is set to 40M. </p> http://wordpress.org/support/topic/242075/page/3#post-1055785 Fri, 24 Apr 2009 23:05:19 +0000 s3bsg 1055785@http://wordpress.org/support/ <p>Experiencing the same strange issues - 1&amp;1 Hosting, WP 2.7.1, current ngg.
