Edit image functionality not working

    Hello!

    I am running a WordPress blog for the content team in my com
    pany and they would like to be able to adjust the thumbnails, because the scripts used by WordPress don’t always center them nicely. WP has this functionality but it is unavailable on our live install.
    Here’s what I tried:

    • disable add blocker
    • look up white spaces at the beginning of PHP files
    • check script files all are in UTF-8 without BOM
    • renew the SSL certificate

    No improvement whatsoever.
    I get mixed content warnings because WordPress is trying to use gravatars with http URLs while the admin uses https. Can this be the reason? Our install uses the HTTPS plugin, but also W3 Total Cache with enabled CDN. Is anyone here aware of any problem from that type of configuration that would cause this?

    “centering” the thumbnails nicely sounds like a different issue, not one that would be caused by mixed content or https plugin, or even W3 Total Cache, with our without enabled CDN.

    Can you explain more what you mean by not “centered” nicely? To me that sounds like one of two issues:

    CSS styling – could use Tweaking

    Media setting for Thumbnails needs tweaking – this sounds like the most likely culprit, since other users have had similar sounding complaints caused by not understanding what WP does when you upload images and how Thumbnails are created.

    Under Settings >Media, you have a checkbox below your dimension settings for the Thumbnail that gets automatically created on image upload, that checkbox says “Crop thumbnail to exact dimensions (normally thumbnails are proportional)”

    If that checkbox is NOT checked, then WP creates Thumbnails that are proportional to the original image – these will not always be square, so when your Theme calls for the Thumbnail to be shown, it won’t line up nicely if they are not square.

    Please post back to explain more about your “centering” problem if this isn’t what’s causing it.

    Thanks for responding, but maybe I wasn’t clear enough: the functionality is not working. It’s not CSS, it’s not that setting you mention. Whenever I try to edit an image in the media gallery, I get a broken image icon in the popup where I should be able to edit the image.
