I was post some image and the button is edit image is missing, i can´t select crop or other functions because the feature doesn´t work anymore. But it started in this week! A week ago it´s working fine =/ * I changed the theme for the wordpress theme, i deactivated all my plugins (google analytics, WP-reCAPTCHA, Photo Galleria, Formidable) and all my widgets (wordpress widgets like archive, post recents, etc), and nothing works! * I have a wordpress installed in my local machine, and i tested the same theme and works fine! * I don´t know what is going on because, it worked fine until last week. * I have the work-a-hollic theme from graphic paper press installed with my customization and design, but i think there´s something wrong with the wordpress not in the theme, because, everything is working fine in my local installation. * Please help me! I need to crop my thumbs, because the theme is based on the “ feature image” – it´s a portfolio´s site. * And sorry for my bad english =) * Tks!!

In wp-config.php add this string: * `define('CONCATENATE_SCRIPTS', false);` * This will prevent WP to load all scripts at once, will surely slow down your admin experience but guarantee that each one of them doesn’t get overlapped in the loading process. Hope it will help. * [kikuyumoja](https://wordpress.org/support/users/kikuyumoja/) * (@kikuyumoja) * [15 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/edit-image-missing/#post-1586661) * Don’t know if this solved the issue, but for me it helped realizing that WordPress expects a **JPEG file type**, not a JPG. Hence the button never showed up until I tested it with a png image file which worked fine. * I am running another blog on the same server where the edit media button showed up when I clicked on a JPEG file. * ==> File type: image/jpeg * The problem arose while using an external editor on Windows (Blogdesk.org) which apparently has some open issues and changes the file type from jpeg to jpg during upload. I take it that “file type: image/jpg” isn’t defined for the call of the button, hence it doesn’t show up. * [ilightning](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ilightning/) * (@ilightning) * [15 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/edit-image-missing/#post-1586668) * [@kikuyumoja](https://wordpress.org/support/users/kikuyumoja/) I have this problem now, tried jpeg, jpg & png and not showing up. I’ve run into this problem before and it was due to double line spacing in my functions.php file or files that are included in functions.php The weird thing now is that it’s working fine on my localhost but not the live server. I run into this problem more than any other on WP! * [claudeschneider](https://wordpress.org/support/users/claudeschneider/) * (@claudeschneider) * [15 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/edit-image-missing/#post-1586674) * I can confirm what kikuyumoja wrote. Using Blogdesk changes the mime-type to “ image/jpg”, and for some reason WordPress’s code requires “image/jpeg” only. * This bit of SQL will fix the problem for existing images: * UPDATE wp_posts SET post_mime_type = “image/jpeg” WHERE post_mime_type = “image/ jpg”; * It’s probably possible to create a plugin (or add a line to your theme’s functions. php) that calls this SQL each time an image is added to the DB… * The better alternative would be to get the core WP code updated to display the edit image button for “image/jpg” files.
