Upgrading from 3.0 to 3.3 – uploaded images and uploader no longer work
-
After upgrading from 3.0 to 3.3, the previously uploaded images ceased to function. Instead, broken images were displayed in their place. Inspecting the links and following them directly led to the WP-generated 404 page.
However, the files all exist in the paths given (e.g. /wp-content/uploads/2011/07/somefile.png)
Uploading new images likewise does not work. It places a file in the uploads directory, and creates the thumbnails, but the image does not display, either in the frontend or in the media library in the backend.
I have been searching for a while, and tried many of the suggested fixes for this (or similar) problems, none of which solved this issue:
chmod the uploads directory to 777 and recurse through subdirectories
edit the files line in the .htaccess file – tried several configurations, none worked
comment out the files line in the .htaccess file
edit the wp-includes/ms-files.php file (adding double quotes to headers, adding ob_clean()) – neither worked, felt real dirty making changes to the core, reverted
upgrade to 3.3.1Been googling for quite a while now, and searching blogs and these forums… still no luck.
Currently hosted on a server running debian Apache 2.2.16 & php5.3
However, the same problem exists on my local sandbox (using MAMP on port 80)Unfortunately, I can’t share a link to the site. Hopefully this is enough to at least get some ideas on where to go next.
Thanks for your time!
