how are you?
My website was working well and now I'm unable to create or edit pages using elementor because the 'loading' keeps spinning and nothing happens.
I see a console error where I get /wp-admin/admin-ajax.php 500
How can I fix this? I don't know what caused it.
Thanks!
there are many reason for this. But the common one is WP memory limit issue.
To handle this, first you need to edit the wp-config.php file on your WordPress site. It is located in your WordPress site’s root folder, and you will need to use an FTP client or file manager in your web hosting control panel.
Next, you need to paste this code in wp-config.php file just before the line that says ‘That’s all, stop editing! Happy blogging.’
define( 'WP_MEMORY_LIMIT', '256M' );
This code tells WordPress to increase the PHP memory limit to 256MB.
Once you are done, you need to save your changes and upload your wp-config.php file back to your server.
I had this problem too, I just disabled plugins one by one and I found the problem!
one of my plugins caused this problem.
I've got a problem regarding WordPress.
I tried to update my website to version 4.9.5.
After that I noticed that some of the background images (e.g. header and footer) are not shown anymore.
The link is now
https://example.com/wp-content/themes/themename/inc/header.jpg.pagespeed.ce.l_yeFhbkAn.jpg
Does somebody know which plugin causes the .pagespeed extension? The file exists on my FTP server and is accessible via the original filename (.../header.jpg).
I tried to disable Autoptimize and WPSuperCache but no changes.
The downgrade to the last running WordPress version (via backup) shows the same behavior.
Thanks in advance.
I have a WordPress blog that is on a VPS. Everything has been working fine until today when I realised that my featured images are no longer displaying. I logged in to my dashboard, media library, and all the image thumbnails are no longer displaying properly.
Before this time, I had a little issue with my caching plugin (W3Total Cache), so I deactivated it, and my site continued to function normally. But now, no featured image is displayed all through the site. What amazes me is that inline images in a post are still displaying in the site. See example.
Now my site's homepage is just blank, because no featured images are displayed. As of today, images which I attached in the post are just seen as links, but if the link is clicked, it redirects to the image. Here are some of the things I've tried so far:
I've run df -h ssh command to verify if my diskpace is full.
I've restarted mysql server several times.
I've manually downloaded wordpress .zip file, and upload to the site.
I've automatically reinstall wordpress using http://www.example.com/wp-admin/update-core.php.
I've switched to a default theme.
I've tried some of the resources similar to this question here, but none of the proffered solutions resolved my issue.
My permission settings for all the sub-directories under wp-content is 755. I have also tried changing them to 775 and 777.
*. I've used the Regenerate Thumbnails plugin to try to regenerate the thumbnails, but it returned an error The error message was: The originally uploaded image file cannot be found at, but when I view the image directly from my browser, it returns the image.
I've also used the WP Original Media Path plugin to try and restore the media path (if it was messed up), but to no avail.
I've deactivated all plugins too.
I just checked my wp_postmeta table in my DB and it returned this error wp_postmeta table is marked as crashed
How do I rectify this issue?
Since the source of your homepage has nothing in the main section:
<section class="entry-content clearfix" itemprop="articleBody">
</section> <!-- end article section -->
and also due to the last item in your question, I assume you have a database problem instead of missing files (which I think would throw some 404s in my browser instead).
Do you have WP_DEBUG_LOG? If so, check wp-content/debug.log for errors. Be sure to launch phpMyAdmin and browse around the tables to see everything is good in there.
Use CHECK TABLE to confirm if tables are corrupted, and in that case use REPAIR TABLE to try to fix them (maybe phpMyAdmin has those in its GUI, I'm not sure right now).
In IIS -> Php Manager-> Php Extensions -> php_gd2.dll enable. refresh or restart the server it will work...
After long days try got this solution.
I've been having a few problems with my Wordpress Installations on a couple of my website.
The first problem is that uploading pictures works but when if I add the image to a post for example, it adds it but shows a broken image thumbnail. When I try to access the image though it throws a 403 error. Tried changing the permissions of my uploads directory to 755. Didn't work though.
You can visit this link to get an idea of what's happening.
No thumbnails are showing up on the admin panel. Normally, in the theme installation window, there's a thumbnail on every theme that shows what the theme looks like, in my installation there's nothing like that. It just show blank thumbnails.
I've uploaded an image showing the thumbnail error here.
At first I thought something was wrong with my Wordpress Installation, but after reinstalling it a couple times, I can see that it's something else. Your help would be greatly appreciated.
Use This only permission issue, use 666 for upload folder then images is working well. check this https://codex.wordpress.org/images/e/eb/podz_filezilla_13.gif
If permissions didn't fix it then try this:
1/ Double-check that your PHP configuration is up to date with the latest WordPress version. I made the mistake cause I was previously working on Magento 2 and forgot to switch from PHP 7.2 to 7.4.
2/ Try basic approach deactivate all plugins and see if one is clashing. Do the same with your them or try a native theme TwentyThirteen instead.
3/ Install "Regenerate All Thumbnails" go-to tools and force thumbnails regeneration for the entire library
I'm struggling from an error on WordPress 3.8.1.
Whenever I try to upload a media to a post, it does not add, it says An error occurred in the upload. Please try again later..
But the weirder thing is that it is shown on dashboard/media/library even after this issue.
I also cannot see uploaded attached media to my posts (edit post / [add media button]) / media library / uploaded to this post, but in dashboard/media/library section , these old uploaded images are shown properly that which is uploaded to what post.
I have tried the followings:
Re-installed both my local version and en_US from both update manager and manually
Deleted wp-includes and wp-admin folders and replaced them manually.
I have checked chown and chmod of the wp-content/uploads folder. To make sure they are working, I have deleted wp-content/uploads/2014 folder, and after first upload that shows this error, the folder is created with right chown and chmod and files were there (wp-content/uploads/2014/01/26/file with resolutions.jpg)
I have deleted unneeded plugins, deactivated all plugins and themes, switched back to WordPress's default plugin, I have even reset active plugins json object at wp_options from SQL, did not help.
I have enabled php error logs, nothing related is shown
I have altered the WP_DEBUG definition to true, I have even defined WP_DEBUG_DISPLAY to true, no help.
When I try to add from wp-admin/media-new.php , using multi uploader, file is freezing at "Crunching…" step, but old browser upload works flawlessly.
I'm managing the VPS and hosting the blog myself with CentOS 6.5 x64. safe_mode is set as off. There is not a mod_security option in my php.ini. My upload_max_filesize in php.ini is set to 20M, memory_limit is 256M, only 3 sites are hosted and memory is quite empty while testing these. This also happens even with 50kb .jpg images, so this should not be related.
I have re-uploaded all wordpress files from a clean downloaded zip, no help.
I have tried adding AddType x-mapp-php5 .php .php4 to the end of .htaccess as suggested here, that did not help at all.
The thing is that, I have tried a clean installation to another domain on the same server, it is working as it should.
What could be the problem? How can I fix this?
Thanks in advance,
See if custom post type has any files that are in UTF-8. If you change it to ANSI, that should help, if thats an issue.
I had the same issue, and found that there is a problem with my theme itself... try doing the same action using the twentyten theme. if that works, then take a look and see if there is any conflicting code in the functions.php of the theme...
if you are using a child theme can I suggest making another child theme, or using an alternative them as in my experience not all themes "like" being used as a child...
If you are trying to upload into a custom post-type, change the capability_type setting in your functions.php file to 'post' and it should fix your problem.
Check permissions of your wp-content or wp-content/upload folders, If folder permission is not 755 then change it to 755 and re-upload again. I hope it will solve your problem.
If you are using a low scale server and added a plugin named "WP-SmushIt" then it will surely cause an error. Reason is simple this plugin uses CPU resources to minimize the size of images in process of optimizing it and so it crosses the server limited execution time. Solution is simple-> Go with higher plan servers or try changing server execution time listed in php config file.
Not directly related to this, but I have experienced the exact same issue after moving the very same site to a different server now. Only difference is now I've been using Nginx instead of Apache. I have checked the ownerships before and they were all correct (else the normal upload wouldn't work earlier either). I'm leaving this here just as a reference.
The fix on my newer case was simply changing the ownership of the web root and all the files inside.
Nginx and PHP5-FPM were running with same user: www-data, which is at the group with same name: www-data.
So changing of all the ownership of the files fixed in this case:
su
chown -R www-data:www-data /path/to/wordpress/root/
And the issue was gone.
I still don't know the original reason of my old issue, I had to wipe, start from clean and restore the posts, plugins etc. from scratch.
I was facing same issue in wordpress like media not loaded in popup. then i have resolved.
I think, Some times problem created by ajax response.Means ajax response comes with some additional content.
Wordpress media popup is loaded content by ajax(json Response) and ajax give response with some content like style and other.
For Example:-
<style>
.class{}
</style>
then json(ajax response).
So First check your ajax response in console.We have to disable all plugins then check it is work or not.If no then activate default theme. because content comes from plugin and theme.
check your folder permission, and mod_security settings, also try to increase max_execution_time and memory,
