In reply to: How to sort porfolio magesI’m not sure what you mean? Are you sorting the featured images from portfolio posts or images in a post?
If you are sorting the images in the portfolios,
Do the images have tags? The plugin that you are using should provide you with shortcode that allows you to sort by tag.If you are sorting the portfolios from featured images maybe one of these plugins can help:

In reply to: The king of all "error occurred in the upload" glitches…That’s awesome. I am not convinced that upload.php should break based in any old random error in the system but it appears that it does.
Depending on your computer, you can download a version of WordPress to install. I am still on microsoft and use a free program called Web Matrix. There are a few programs on the Mac. Here is one: https://codex.wordpress.org/Installing_WordPress_Locally_on_Your_Mac_With_MAMP
Give your local site a different name so that you don’t confuse the two!!!
There are two ways of copying your web site. This is the easy way. If it doesn’t work, you may have to use a more advanced method which I will not go into here.
Once you have a local site set up.
One, download your entire wp-content directory using ftp right into the same directory of your local site.
Two: Enable all plugins and your theme in your local site.
Three: Delete the first “hello world” post.
Four: Export your live wordpress content using the tools menu. Export everything.
Five: Import the file into your local site using the tools menu. Import everything. Click yes on “download images”.
This will work in most cases.

In reply to: The king of all "error occurred in the upload" glitches…Wow. Thank you for letting me know. I am very interested in this issue, most of my work revolves around the media library and I keep coming across it.
I think that there are plugins that regenerate image in image sizes from the media library and that might give you a short term workaround.

In reply to: Being hacked again in the same wayI had several sites hacked last year and the above links were extremely helpful.
I’ve been using the Securi plugin to harden my site and also to scan, it’s really easy to use. After that, I just disable it so that I don’t have Wordfence & Securi running at the same time.
The most important thing that I’ve done is change the way the user links are used. The user id, displayed nick name and url are all different for each user. This stopped brute force hacking attempts cold. In Wordfence, block user names, especially admin, but any user name that you see being used frequently by people trying to hack your sites. Combined with strong passwords, this has effectively stalled hacking attempts.

In reply to: All of my posts changed to draft form!I think it depends on what kind of hosting you have. Best thing to do is contact them & ask. This happened to me once after an update. You can install your own backup plugin. I secondly recommend updraft plus. You can configure it to do regular backups and save them to dropbox or some other location.

In reply to: No button download upload pluginambidextre75, It seems that you just shared your password and login on a public forum. This is probably not a good idea.

In reply to: The king of all "error occurred in the upload" glitches…FWIW, you can try firefox, firefox has the best debugger.

In reply to: The king of all "error occurred in the upload" glitches…Oh, I’m so sorry that we couldn’t figure out the issue. It’s interesting that the async-upload file shows nothing. I assume that you’ve reinstalled WordPress and that you are using the latest version, so I would say that you have tried everything.
This is a real bug, and it’s one that has been reported before. I’ve been able to resolve it in a couple of places, but it keeps coming back.
You can create a ticket here: https://core.trac.wordpress.org/. You might want to refer back to this post. THey might close it as a duplicate but it looks to me as though the core keepers keep closing the issue, thinking that it’s solved. It can’t hurt to share your horrors with them.
Best of luck!

In reply to: Author abandoned Template – Please HelpThere is no way to reach you through your profile. I suggest that you go to Stack Exchange and try to find some free support there if you can’t afford a developer.

In reply to: The king of all "error occurred in the upload" glitches…Ah that explains a lot. Your issues with the user module is probably related. In your tree, you are seeing is the file name, I assume, so that’s good. At least the file is being uploaded.
In Safari, you should be able to see the XHR menu at the bottom of the panel on the network tab. Safari is different. You will see info all three parts of the ajax call on one tab, the request, the data and the response. I don’t use Safari for debugging, so I can’t tell you what information will display there. If something goes wrong during the ajax call to upload the image and the process couldn’t be completed, it should show up in the response.
You should look at the content tab for the file, I believe. There should be two for async-upload, one with the id number for the image and a second with the html for the image. You should also check the content tab for the admin-ajax.php executions.
I find the ajax module very frustrating. When something goes wrong in the upload.php application, it does not mean that there is an issue with the upload module, but that the WordPress ajax module is crashing because something is broken somewhere else that is otherwise unrelated.
I am seeing this issue a lot. I just had to uninstall Securi. Although it was working, the host was blocking it’s ability to connect to their server and that was what was blocking the ability to upload. Since there is obviously something going on in your admin section I am going to strongly recommend that you delete your plugins folder completely. I’m positive that it is possible for inactive scripts to still interfere with the application. If you are running caching, turn it off and delete your cache. Switch to 201x theme so that you are down to the bare bones basics.

In reply to: The king of all "error occurred in the upload" glitches…So on the response tab, the text does not start with the word success? What does it start with? Does it say error or do you see any text that indicates a potential error? You can paste it here if you like.
