 * The Edit Image button in the admin media library is no longer displaying after
   upgrading from 3.8 to 4.4.2. I also do not have any checkboxes displaying next
   to the images in the list view, so I can’t delete items. The checkbox at the 
   top and bottom of the list that usually checks all the boxes is there but that’s
   the only checkbox.
 * I have tried disabling all plugins, reverting to 2016 theme, and verifying that
   php gd is running on my godaddy server.
 * Anyone have any other ideas?

 * What type of file are you uploading to edit? Is it a JPG/JPEG?

 * Yeah, the images I’m looking at trying to change are image/jpeg, though the site
   does use a few gifs/pngs.

 * It ended up being a wp_capabilities problem after all.
 * My client has a custom price tier showing up for certain user roles so he had
   2 roles assigned to himself like :
 * a:2:{s:13:”administrator”;b:1;s:11:”customer_l1″;b:1;}
 * Changing it to just
 * a:1:{s:13:”administrator”;s:1:”1″;}
 * brought the controls back.
