Background Image Issue

Hi,

I’ve been trying to upload a background image but it won’t load. I am using a 800×560 jpeg image at 63kb.

Thanks in advance for your help!

Image uploading managed by WordPress and your hosting account, not by the theme. Likely best to try a different browser, try clearing your browser cache, etc.

I sometimes get an error uploading a file in WordPress since WP 3.9 came out, for no apparent reason. I usually just try loading it again. Works. Try the “locate file” option and then try the drag and drop version.

It’s usually something stupid in the way WP setup their media manager after 3.9, and I’ve seen it on varied websites I manage, different themes, etc.

One workaround I’ve heard is to save a draft first, as it “might” be the auto save conflicting with the media uploader; meaning you can’t upload image if WP is auto saving a post you’re working on.

Hope that helped.

Hi Christopher,

Thanks for you reply. I tried everything and it still doesn’t work. I have plenty of disk space available so the issue is not likely to come from the host.

The image will upload into the library but when I add it into the background settings section of your theme, I click “Save Settings” but it won’t save. It just loads and loads and loads but never saves…

What else do you suggest I do?

Thanks again!

Hey Christopher,

I just tried to make other changes to the theme but none of the changes are saving. Every time I click Save settings it loads forever and the changes don’t update.

What do you think may cause that?

Thanks again!

Hi Lucian,

Thanks for your help. It’s all fixed now. The issue came from one of the plugins I had installed.

Thanks again!
