This may or may not be theme-related, but I’m posting it here – maybe someone would have an idea…
A couple of days ago, one of my plugins (“Image Watermark”, specifically) started producing the infamous “Cheatin uh?” error when attempting to add watermarks in Media Library.
Switching the theme to default TwentySixteen did not help, so this is probably the wrong place to ask this, but if anyone has an idea…
It is worth noting that the problem appeared out of nowhere, no changes whatsoever were made at the site when it came up. I have since updated both WP and the theme to the latest versions, but to no avail.
Hello,
We have only one other report of this issue with our theme and that is way back in 2014. It could simply be a plugin conflict so please try to disable all plugins except visual composer, clear cache and reset cdn files if you use it. Then test again and see if you still get the error.
If you say the error is still present on a wp default theme, then maybe one of these solutions could do the trick:

I would try to get it fixed on the wp default theme first before applying the theme.
Let us know how it goes
Thanks
So anyway, it was a plugin-related issue after all. I’m posting it here for reference in case anyone else runs into it.
The solution can be found here: https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cheatin-uh-error-4/
or directly on GitHub: https://github.com/dfactoryplugins/image-watermark/pull/6
I presume it will be implemented in the next plugin update.
