To see screen shots of this issue, vist my personal blog where I put of the screen shots. I though it would be easier to understand if people could see what was happening.

Found the fix in the following forum post:

The post addressed the problem in question 8, answer b). This is a know issue that was supposed to be fixed in 2.6.1 and required me to grab an updated version of the “functions.php” file and upload it to my “wp-includes” folder. File can be downloaded here.
I hope someone catches this little slip up, the post I found says that this functions.php file was supposed to be included in the 2.6.1 release, but it was not included the release that upgraded to. I know that I completely deleted the old wordpress directory I was using, uploaded the whole new set of files for 2.6.2, then copied my “wp-content” folder as well as my “wp-config.php” file from the old wordpres back up I had. So I know that entire “wp-includes” dir was from the new distribution. I could have save a lot of trouble if I had just downloaded the file from the get to, instead of assuming that the file has been rolled into the distribution.
I hope this thread helps anyone else out with similar issues.
I must be completely in competent, because the same issue resurfaced for me and I’m not sure why. I tried uploading the functions.php file that fixed the issue before, but nothing changed this time. I still have no thumbnails displayed in my media library, and my images are being inserted into posts with no source designated for the <img src=”> tag.
Here is what I have tried so far to get back up and running.
1. Deleted wordpress install dir, and unziped a fresh download of 2.6.2
2. Copied my /wp-content folder, as well as my wp-config.php file to the new install folder
(Result was that Blog came back up just fine, but if I clicked on Manage->Media Library, I still no thumbnails displaying, but all 241 images still listed correctly. If I clicked on the white place holder that was inserted instead of my thumbnail, I took me to the correct image just like it should have.)
3. Just to be sure, removed all the tables from the SQL database (Via MyPhpAdmin) and re-imported from a back up file.
(Same result as stated above)
4. Uploaded the functions.php to my /wp-includes folder, this is the step that fixed the issue before.
(No change)
5. Explicitly set the full URL path to the /wp-contents/uploads folder, even though I am using the default location.
(No Change).
6. Deleted all the contents of my /wp-contents/uploads/js_cache folder, and reset my browser cache and cookies (twice just to be sure).
7. All plugins are disabled
Did I miss anything? Is there something else I should be looking at? I really don’t want to have to upload all 241 images back into my blog manually.
yeah, hi, i’m getting this too. no luck solving it yet
🙁
oh FFS, i was still suffering from another (well known) podpress issue – thought i’d got them all 🙁
