Images are not getting attached to comments

Thanks for that, they both attached fine.

I have done a couple more tests. I believe it is only when uploading over 1mb images.

I test commented with an image file under 1mb and it went through fine.

But a photo that was 2.5mb did not attach. The website also gave an Internal server error for the url https://origami.guide/wp-comments-post.php
The comment did appear, with no image attached, the image was in the media library.
I did the test twice with the same result.

Here are the php stats…

PHP max input variables 4000
PHP time limit 1200
PHP memory limit 860M
Max input time 1200
Upload max filesize 500M
PHP post max size 505M

I tried increasing the upload size option to 6mb and it had no effect.

Here is the error in the error log:

End of script output before headers: wp-comments-post.php, referer: https://origami.guide/origami-hearts/origami-heart/3

The site is running on an 8GB VPS, on Dreamhost.

Can you let me know the restriction, I can ask them about it.

Thanks for your reply. I went through those and also tried the replacing of the wp-comments-post.php etc, with no effect.

I was momentarily excited as after disabling all the plugins, it began to work. However after re-activating one at a time, different plugins seemed to prevent it from working randomly.

Eventually, I remembered that some hosting company in the past told me that the GD module is faster for large files.. so enabled that instead of ImageMagick.

So it’s currently working, and as far as I can tell, it was ImageMagick, as silly as that sounds, maybe with the setup that Dreamhost’s VPS uses…

I reverted all the changes I made back and all of the plugins, so hopefully that’s it.

🙂

edit:

If anyone wants to try GD instead, add this code to the functions.php of your child theme:

/// Use GD instead of ImageMagick

add_filter( 'wp_image_editors', 'select_wp_image_editors' );
 
/**
 * The default $editors value:
 * 
 *      array( 'WP_Image_Editor_Imagick', 'WP_Image_Editor_GD' )
 */
function select_wp_image_editors( $editors ) {
        return array( 'WP_Image_Editor_GD' ); // only return WP_Image_Editor_GD
}
