Title: Image Editing Last modified: August 21, 2016 --- # Image Editing * [brkrusty](https://wordpress.org/support/users/brkrusty/) * (@brkrusty) * [12 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/image-editing-3/) * I am having problems getting image editing working correctly. * I find that everything works as described on this page: [https://codex.wordpress.org/Inserting_Images_into_Posts_and_Pages](https://codex.wordpress.org/Inserting_Images_into_Posts_and_Pages). However, the page I’m taken to when I access Edit Image via any of the channels: * [https://codex.wordpress.org/Edit_Media#Edit_Image](https://codex.wordpress.org/Edit_Media#Edit_Image) * does not have the Edit Image button underneath the display of the image. * I have read through some old threads (some as old as three years ago). I have done a manual update using the instructions here: * [https://codex.wordpress.org/Updating_WordPress](https://codex.wordpress.org/Updating_WordPress) * I have changed the theme to Twenty Ten, Twenty Eleven and Twenty Twelve. I have disabled all plugins; currently I have no plugins enabled. * Nothing I do gets the Edit Image button to display. Therefore, I cannot edit images. * Please help.

[https://codex.wordpress.org/images/c/cb/edit-image.png](https://codex.wordpress.org/images/c/cb/edit-image.png) Well, the buttons don’t show up unless you hover your mouse over the image URLs that you find in media library. * Thread Starter [brkrusty](https://wordpress.org/support/users/brkrusty/) * (@brkrusty) * [12 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/image-editing-3/#post-3882614) * No. On the Edit Media page, as explained in the codex ([https://codex.wordpress.org/Edit_Media#Edit_Image](https://codex.wordpress.org/Edit_Media#Edit_Image)), there is a “Edit Image” button underneath the image itself. * In my installation, that button doesn’t exist. The Edit Media codex page doesn’t mention anything about needing to hover over any URLs. And I cannot get the button to appear by hovering over anything. * Doug * [kmessinger](https://wordpress.org/support/users/kmessinger/) * (@kmessinger) * [12 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/image-editing-3/#post-3882627) * What browser are you using? I’d like you to turn on the javascript console while you try to load the edit page. * Thread Starter [brkrusty](https://wordpress.org/support/users/brkrusty/) * (@brkrusty) * [12 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/image-editing-3/#post-3882643) * Firefox 21 * [kmessinger](https://wordpress.org/support/users/kmessinger/) * (@kmessinger) * [12 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/image-editing-3/#post-3882678) * Ok. Turn on FireBug and then go the the image edit page. Set FB for console, show errors and see if you get any. * Also, could you post a url for your site? * Thread Starter [brkrusty](https://wordpress.org/support/users/brkrusty/) * (@brkrusty) * [12 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/image-editing-3/#post-3882719) * Firebug is showing no errors. * But Firefox’s builtin web console shows the following: * ``` [17:14:40.953] GET http://www.interior-castle.org/wp-admin/post.php?post=194&action=edit [HTTP/1.1 200 OK 265ms] [17:14:41.777] GET http://www.interior-castle.org/wp-includes/js/imgareaselect/imgareaselect.css?ver=0.9.8 [HTTP/1.1 304 Not Modified 16ms] [17:14:41.779] GET http://www.interior-castle.org/wp-admin/css/colors-classic.min.css?ver=3.5.2 [HTTP/1.1 304 Not Modified 63ms] [17:14:41.779] GET http://www.interior-castle.org/wp-includes/css/editor.min.css?ver=3.5.2 [HTTP/1.1 304 Not Modified 110ms] [17:14:41.559] Unknown property 'box-sizing'.
