In reply to: The king of all "error occurred in the upload" glitches…Does the response start with the word “success”?
Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: The king of all "error occurred in the upload" glitches…Oh, I’m so sorry…My bad. It’s Response, not “result”. While the XHR tab is open, you should upload a file. On the tab, you should see a list of files as the process takes place. Once you get the error, you can click on the last file, async-upload.php. Another window should open up next to the file name with several tabs, one of which is “Response”. Click on that. If it doesn’t say success, you may find a clue somewhere there.
Otherwise, you should see several instances of admin-ajax.php which executes every 60 seconds or so. You might find a clue there too, since it appears to load everything admin related and might indicate where a problem is.

In reply to: The king of all "error occurred in the upload" glitches…Sure, good luck!
It’s possible that the fatal error is the problem if it’s happening in the admin functions.
I believe that inactive plugins can cause problems. It can’t hurt to disable everything and ftp in and copy them to another directory just to find out. Like I said, I just resolved this same issue an hour ago and the issue with the blank modal media page last week. Both were caused by weird little errors.
I don’t understand the imagemagick issue at all.

In reply to: The king of all "error occurred in the upload" glitches…I have seen this on several web sites and was able to fix this issue by disabling one specific plugin that was causing errors in the admin panel. I would like to note that the plugin itself has nothing to do with media, uploading or ajax.
I believe that this might be an ajax error. It is likely caused by any plugin that is not loading properly. Look for potential error messages from other plugins.
You may find a clue by going into developer tools, clicking on the network panel, selecting XHR reloading the upload.php page and uploading. Click on the last call to async-upload.php. The result should say something that starts like this: {“success”:true,”data”:
This can also be used to determine the source of the modal media window upload.php not displaying any images. An obscure bug in a plugin that doesn’t throw errors can break the ajax media library.

In reply to: Media Library Issue (New Install)I’ve seen this before. The last time I had this problem, I reinstalled WordPress from scratch.
It is now happening again.
When I disable all of my plugins, the media library loads. I have been been installing them one by one. I have the issue down to one plugin that installs with unexpected output.

In reply to: [(Simply) Guest Author Name] how to see other posts of the guest authorWordPress uses the user id to display the list of posts from the author. This plugins was designed to link to the authors web site instead of a list since the guest author does not have a user id.
My advise is
Don’t use this plugin. Use this plugin: https://wordpress.org/plugins/change-author/If you have a lot of posts by the same author you might as well create a user id for your guest author, you don’t need to give them login permissions. This is just for your use. Create posts and use the plugin to switch the author name to the guest author. You can add bio information to the user. You can go back and change old posts with the plugin.
There is another workaround, if you continue to use this plugin, which is to create a general user for all of your guest authors and create all of your guest author posts under that user. Use the same plugin above to switch to your general ‘guest user posts” user account. That way all of your guest user posts will show up in their own list.

In reply to: [Featured Image Thumbnail Grid] Images not auto adjusting in widthHi, the stylesheet sets a default width and height which you can override in the short code or custom styles. It defaults to 150 x 150 which is the default size of thumbnails. You may be using a different size for your images.
To make sure that they autofit, the best option is to set the width to auto and the height to a fixed height in the shortcode.
this link might explain things a bit as regards WordPress image sizes.

In reply to: [Featured Image Thumbnail Grid] Specific category not workingI don’t have enough information to resolve this.
I need to know what post type you are using in order to understand what is happening. If it’s portfolio, which plugin are you using that is providing the portfolio?
Also it helps to provide a link to an example of the issue along with the specific shortcode that you are using so that I can try to figure out what is going on.
The most common mistake that people make is using the wrong category id.
thanks!

In reply to: [(Simply) Guest Author Name] name not view on single postHi Fajr,
I may not have understood your question. There are plugins you can download that will display the author name on your posts. I hope that helps.

In reply to: [Featured Image Thumbnail Grid] Show date of postingThe only way to do this would be to use the filters that come with the plugin. This requires a little bit of coding experience. We are available to do this for you for a fee.

In reply to: [Featured Image Thumbnail Grid] Specific category not workingHi Mr. Robville, Sorry for the late reply. Please feel free to email me at adrian@shooflysolutions.com if you have an urgent issue because I don’t check the forums here often.
Your portfolio post type may actually have a custom taxonomy for the category in which case category or cat will not work. I was wondering if you would mind letting me know which plugin you are using, even if it’s jetpack. That way I can figure it out so that you don’t have to hack.

In reply to: [(Simply) Guest Author Name] name not view on single postThe correct WordPress function to get the name is get_author_name. If the guest author name is filled out, the plugin should override that name.

Which function are you using?
