I have the exact same issue on wordpress 4.2.1, gray images after image upload and the file has never been created on the server ( I’ve checked that through ftp ).
I go to the admin panel > media > upload new file. All goes correctly and I get a success response back from the server. The directory structures have been created uploads/2015/05/ However, the image is never put there.
The image I’ve uploaded a 1.4MB JPEG of 4128 x 2322. I’ve also tried a range of different image sizes so this doesn’t seem to matter. If it did, wordpress would complain by responding with an error message.
.htaccess file:
# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ – [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>
# END WordPress
I saw, appears multiple people are having this issue.
A temporary work-around is using FTP and use this plugin:
https://wordpress.org/plugins/add-from-server/
Put the images through ftp in the uploads map (or one of your choice)
go to dashboard > plugins > add-from-server, where you have an import option. go to the map where you put the images and select them, and choose ‘import’ the images will be placed in the media library and database as it should be.
It is not a nice solution but it works….

Seems a better workaround then uploading images in already created posts with WordPress for iPhone.
Seems like a nice workaround if you are working from a pc at home, but when you are mostly blogging on the road the WordPress App works best for me
I stronly advice to clear the browser cache. This worked for me on version 4.2.2..
Problem solved for me!

I’m also having the same problem since yesterday. It doesn’t matter how small the images are when they are uploading it says: crounching…and even if it looks like its going allright They don’t show. thanks for your temporary sollution.
i can concure, after wp update 4.2.2 and clear browser cache (in IE > Ctrl + F5) it works again.
Yep, works for me too! 4.2.2 has fixed the bug apparently. Took me a lot time, cuz I thought it was my fault…
Anyway, put this on resolved I guess?
