    Hi all,

    I apologize if my joke went south in my previous post about this issue. I have been pulling my hair out dealing with this, comic relief obviously didn’t work…We uploaded about 40+ images to our WP theme via the media uploader and via new project media uploader back in June, all worked fine. no sizing issues at all. now all of a sudden, whatever size img i upload, I am only allowed to choose full size. on top of that, when i click to make that fullsize img the featured img for that project it resizes it to an odd size, 238px to be precise.

    i cant find any threads pertaining to this issue, and it has been going on since monday. I will also say that all the images already in my media library are working fine, although if i try and upload a copy of a ‘good’ img, this issue still occurs.

    I have inspected the item and gone to my code editor, but I’m thinking it is an issue with the uploader and not the theme itself. any advice?…

    I have read thru it many times. also, there are no previous posts relating to this issue. some are similar, but that similarity ends at it being an issue of the media uploader or featured picture problem. here is the link: http://www.verveinteriors.com/?page_id=12

    even if i upload an existing img that is already on the site, and has exaggerated dimensions it continues to occur. i dont use the thumbnail option in my media library, i just use a separate img as the featured pic (one that is resized in photoshop). its very odd, that it just began all of a sudden.

    I can’t see anything wrong with that page…

    top left img. it says the img is only 238px when in chrome inspector, but the image is 700px wide.

    its not just this img. if i upload any image, even ones that display properly and are already on the site, the uploader doesnt allow any other size options than fullsize to be clicked.

    What image dimensions do you have set up in Settings -> Media?

    It was at its default of 150px X 150px for thumbnail, so I bumped it up to 300×300 just to see what would happen, and it still same issue. just seems very odd that no matter what picture I upload into the media library huge/med/sm or whatever it continues, even pictures that are already on there and displaying beautifully. thanks for taking the time esmi.

    Have you tried:

    – deactivating all plugins to see if this resolves the problem. If this works, re-activate the plugins one by one until you find the problematic plugin(s).

    – switching to the Twenty Eleven theme to rule out any theme-specific problems.

    resetting the plugins folder by FTP or PhpMyAdmin. Sometimes, an apparently inactive plugin can still cause problems.

    – re-uploading all files & folders – except the wp-content folder – from a fresh download of WordPress 3.3.2.

    tried deactivating plugs and facebook feed was still activated, randomly. we weren’t using it, and BOOM, back in bizness. it’s weird, I turned off the plugs before and it was still occurring, tried it early this morning, and it snapped back. strange, Friday the 13 *cue music* :P. I graciously bow this topic closed.

    Glad to hear that you found the culprit.
