Title: Upload image error when using Work-a-holic theme Last modified: August 19, 2016 --- # Upload image error when using Work-a-holic theme * [lbrown77](https://wordpress.org/support/users/lbrown77/) * (@lbrown77) * [15 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/upload-image-error-when-using-work-a-holic-theme/) * Hi, I’m using the work-a-holic theme from graph paper press and i’m experiencing an error when trying to upload portrait images. File sizes are fairly small, they vary between 40kb – 150kb. I’ve been digging around for days trying to fix this. * The error i receive is: Warning: imagecreatetruecolor() [function.imagecreatetruecolor]: Invalid image dimensions in /wp-includes/media.php on line 1006 * Warning: imagecopyresampled(): supplied argument is not a valid Image resource in /wp-includes/media.php on line 424 * Warning: imagejpeg(): supplied argument is not a valid Image resource in /wp- includes/media.php on line 455 285 * I’ve tried a fresh install of WordPress and the theme and database – with no luck. I followed the install [instructions](http://demo.graphpaperpress.com/wp-content/themes/workaholic/instructions.html) for the theme and thought leaving the image height blank could be the issue, but adding a value here doesn’t help resolve this. Any help you can offer would be great.

If your theme > looks broken, than you likely have a plugin that uses a conflicting javascript > library. Deactivate your plugins, one-by-one, to determine which plugin is > conflicting with jQuery. * Have you tried doing what they suggest – i.e. deactivating all your plug-ins to see if there is a conflict somewhere? * Moderator [Kathryn Presner](https://wordpress.org/support/users/zoonini/) * (@zoonini) * [15 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/upload-image-error-when-using-work-a-holic-theme/#post-2025760) * It may also be a server issue, in which case you might need need to contact your host. See this thread about a similar error and the possible solutions: * [http://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-wp-table-reloaded-error-messages-and-images-not-appearing?replies=4](http://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-wp-table-reloaded-error-messages-and-images-not-appearing?replies=4) * Thread Starter [lbrown77](https://wordpress.org/support/users/lbrown77/) * (@lbrown77) * [15 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/upload-image-error-when-using-work-a-holic-theme/#post-2025920) * I have tried deactivating all plugins, i’ve also tried a fresh install of wordpress, my database and the theme. * My host says “I confirm GD Library is present and functional and the server is running php5.2” * I would prefer not to change themes, as i’ve already spent a fair bit of time setting up bespoke template layouts etc. * I’m a little stuck on what could be causing this. * Moderator [Kathryn Presner](https://wordpress.org/support/users/zoonini/) * (@zoonini) * [15 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/upload-image-error-when-using-work-a-holic-theme/#post-2025928) * At that point I would contact the theme developer directly – hopefully they are willing to offer some troubleshooting support. Good luck and do report back on how it goes. * Thread Starter [lbrown77](https://wordpress.org/support/users/lbrown77/) * (@lbrown77) * [15 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/upload-image-error-when-using-work-a-holic-theme/#post-2025935) * Thanks, the developer says ” The errors you mentioned are not generated by the theme files but by WordPress core files. Another suggestion is to reinstall WordPress or install a fresh copy of the theme.” * Which i’ve tried already. I’m hoping to try another webhost shortly, where i can try a fresh upload of everything and try to figure out if its the host, the theme or the recent wordpress update i installed. * Thanks for your help zoonini. I’ll post back if i get this resolved. * Laura * Moderator [Kathryn Presner](https://wordpress.org/support/users/zoonini/) * (@zoonini) * [15 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/upload-image-error-when-using-work-a-holic-theme/#post-2025946) * What is the width of an image you get this error when trying to upload? Wondering if WP has a maximum image width. If you try an image of say, 500 px wide, do you get an error? * Are your max widths set to this in the theme settings * thumbnails – 284 medium – 600 large – 940 * …with heights left blank? * Thread Starter [lbrown77](https://wordpress.org/support/users/lbrown77/) * (@lbrown77) * [15 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/upload-image-error-when-using-work-a-holic-theme/#post-2025950) * I’ve just tried uploading an image 500 x 633 and i received the same error. I also just uploaded the same image but at 500 x 400 with no error. So its definitely the portrait images causing the trouble. * The images do upload however and appear in the gallery tab. The medium and large size selection is always inactive – which is why i thought the set-up instructions for leaving the height field blank was the issue! so i’ve tried both blank and adding a height. * Yes the thumbs are 284, med 600 and large 940 * Moderator [Kathryn Presner](https://wordpress.org/support/users/zoonini/) * (@zoonini) * [15 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/upload-image-error-when-using-work-a-holic-theme/#post-2025957) * Have you pointed the theme maker to the other post where someone reported a very similar issue with the same theme? Could be a coincidence, but perhaps not… Anyway, good luck. 🙂 * [g0lem](https://wordpress.org/support/users/g0lem/) * (@g0lem) * [14 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/upload-image-error-when-using-work-a-holic-theme/#post-2026108) * Did you have any luck resolving this?

I purchased the GPP Workaholic-pro, and that worked fine for me. * I sent a few emails to them, and they tried to help, but didn’t think it was their theme that was the problem. They got back to me reasonably quick – so i would advise giving them a try. * [g0lem](https://wordpress.org/support/users/g0lem/) * (@g0lem) * [14 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/upload-image-error-when-using-work-a-holic-theme/#post-2026110) * Ok. Thanks for responding so quickly. Much appreciated.
