hi

have WP 2.1.3 running locally

uploading images there is a ‘Show Thumbnails’ option

sticking WP 2.3 on our server and migrating the dev version across I find there is no ‘Show Thumbnails’ option

is this some server permissions issue

or

has make thumbnails fallen off WP 2.3?

I notice in WP-admin for 2.1.3 there are various upload php files that are not there in WP 2.3

thanks

I installed WP 2.3 and I can upload iamges just fine. Once uploaded there is no radio button for the thumb. The thumb does not get created at all. The image does get uploaded however so the permissions are fine.

I was really hoping that 2.3 would have better uploading capabilities for the creation of thumbs and that the size of the thumbs would be a admin pref, not the manual editing of image.php

Nonetheless, the thumbs are not even being created.

hi

yup

I can upload fine & it sizes images in posts – but they are just the source image

is there any documentation of changes to WP to account for this sudden and fairly major

in the meantime – what needs doing with ‘image.php’?

thanks

Does your server have GD installed?

It’s not really part of either.

It’s typically already on servers, but I recall having to have it added to some in the past…

hi

gd has been switched on &

issue now appears resolved

maybe the WP documentation could be clearer on what php modules etc need to be place

anyway thumbnails work in WP 2.3 if you have relevant php bits switched on

thanks for the help

If the images are too big (I’m not sure what the limit is) you’ll not get the thumbnail option. Try uploading a smaller image to eliminate this as the cause of the problem.

Nope. The size doesn’t do any difference. The uploaded images are not even displayed as tumbnails in the upload section.

Ther is something missing I’m sure. But what? A javasript? ..

Any ideas?

Thanks Thomas

Update: it’s related to podPress the plugin. Just need to figure out how tot get both running

Well, the podpress issue seems unresolved.

well, i´m trying everything but the only answer i got was:
Warning: Missing argument 2 for podpress_wp_get_attachment_metadata() in /www/raw47/public_html/mojo/blog/wp-content/plugins/podpress/podpress.php on line 406

anyone?

This is supposed to be fixed in version 8.7

I am having the same problem of thumbnails not being created. GD is installed and operational on my server and I have tried different image sizes to no avail.

I updated to PodPress 8.7 and images now show after I upload them. But, I don’t have the option to create a thumbnail. Only file name or full size image.

I’m having the same problem (with PodPress 8.8). Whenever I want to upload images, I have to deactivate PodPress and then reactivate it after I’m done. Might just find a new podcast plug-in if it can’t be fixed because it’s annoying to keep doing this.
