Sorry, it’s davidianstyle.com
It seems something wrong with your theme or a plugin. Can you revert back to Twenty Eleven so that I can check the difference?
Yup, it’s back at Twenty Eleven. I’ve also disabled all plug-ins.
It seems that you have modified the Twenty Eleven theme extensively. See the validation errors. Can you replace the current copy with a freshly downloaded copy of Twenty Eleven. Download it from here:
http://wordpress.org/extend/themes/twentyeleven
Weird. I don’t remember modifying that theme at all.
I deleted the Twenty Eleven theme and reinstalled a fresh copy. Looks like the validation errors are still happening…
Please wait, let me check.
Let us now try another step.
Set your permalinks to default, save it. Then revert back to your current permalink setting and save.
Ok, done. Doesn’t look like that did much…
Any other ideas? I’m really hoping I won’t have to start from scratch and rebuild the whole site.
You may try re-uploading the wp-admin and wp-includes folders from a fresh download of WordPress.
If you go for any major changes, make sure that you create a full backup of your site including database so that you can always restore from backups.
Doesn’t look like that worked either.
Some additional things I tried:
– Restarting the apache process
– Restarting the mysqld process
I’m going to do some poking around on my own to try and de-bug this issue. If all else fails, I’m going to back up the site, wipe the directory and reinstall WordPress.
I really appreciate your help, Krishna. Thank you!
If all else fails, I’m going to back up the site, wipe the directory and reinstall WordPress.
That should work. But don’t forget to create backups.
Good luck!
Ok, unfortunately, the directory/database wipe and clean reinstall didn’t even fix the issue. I tested the “Use as featured image” functionality immediately after the install (without adding any additional themes/plugins as well as before restoring the database) and was still unable to get it to work.
I’m very much out of ideas – I fell back to my last resort (doing a complete reinstall) and still cannot get it to work =(
Any suggestions/help would be appreciated!
I’m having this exact same issue. No idea what is going on. Changes to “Saving…” and then never goes a step further. Once or twice it did change to done and actually upload, but I cannot reproduce. 99% of the time it doesn’t work. Fresh install of wordpress 3.4.2. Originally had one other unmodified theme installed and didn’t work there, reverted back to twenty eleven and same issue there as well. No plugins activated (and only one or two installed).
It’s very frustrating.
Same here. I somehow got something to upload today, but like you said, 99% of the time it just hangs on “Saving…”
I took my hand at debugging the problem (details) but still found myself at a dead end.
Any chance you’re using GoDaddy hosting? I wonder if powercycling will do anything…
