  • I had this same issue and fixed very simply by choosing ‘Manual mode’ in the W3TC minify settings. Automatic resulted in the perpetual ‘loading’ message for GD star rating, but ‘Manual’ it loads no problem and you can use the GD star rating no problem.

    Hope that helps! 🙂

    I tried leaving that bit blank, and although I get no error message, it also isn’t actually uploading the image there! I’m going to open a new thread on this, hopefully some guru will see it and come to my rescue 🙂

    Tomasz1976, I was wrong about the beginning slash before the folder name – check on your server – without the beginning slash, WordPress will just make a folder called img in your WP installation, which defeats the purpose of the subdomain!

    I’m now struggling with this and I get a permissions error whenever I try to upload an image – this is much more difficult than it should be. 🙁 I’m sorry about the wrong info – I really thought it was working the way I wanted it to work!

    Actually, I looked and because the beginning slash in /media was removed, it just made a new folder off of my wp installation called media, which totally defeats the purpose!

    Thanks for the response, BeautyPirate.

    Well, I think I got it worked out by eliminating the forward slash in the Store uploads in this folder field, however, it does not pick up the featured image well, which always looks like the ‘broken image'(rectangle with red x inside) and I’m left scratching my head as to how to fix that one niggling little thing. 🙁

    So I’ll try your method and leave that field blank and see what happens!

    Ben, Ben, BEN! You’re still the best developer in the world, bar none!! Think of us as your testers 🙂 and never, ever forget that we appreciate what you are doing for us, in your own time, for free. We sure don’t! So we helped you to find a way to make it better, think of what Edison said! (hint: he found ‘5,000 things that don’t work’) We are just helping you along in your way to uber-greatness. 🙂

    Anyway, this you ARE the best developer in the world because you know what? You saw a need and you filled it. You haven’t just offered one custom widget, or one drop-down help thingie, NO! You have developed a comprehensive system, my friend, that seriously, no website developer (or administrator with lots of helpers) should be without!

    I speak for myself in saying that you have not only my undying appreciation but I will definitely stick with you through all your future versions.

    My hat, sir, is off to you, and, I hope you change your username back quick-like!

    Yeah, it shows that there are a lot of queries. I’ll wait to hear back from you here for when you update it, then I’ll try again.

    Thanks for updating it so quickly, but it’s still really slowing down the admin area – see this screenshot 🙁

    Hi Donncha,
    Thanks for your reply, I found late last night that the beginning slash in /media was incorrect – if I removed that, it works.
    Thanks!

    Thank you!
    I, too, eliminated all the other plugins one by one to see, and I even use P3 Plugin Profiler which scans your site and maps a timeline to see the server response for your pages and outputs a nice report as to which plugins take what time to load (front & back end), which take the most (i.e., how much each affects the page load speed), etc.

    I’m using WP 3.3.1
    Apache version I didn’t know where to look in cPanel (?) though I do know that it’s Apache and my hosting co. is really on the ball, so I would imagine it’s a very current version
    PHP version 5.3.8
    MySQL version 5

    I have a good amount of plugins installed:
    admin menu editor
    adsense insert
    auto-featured image
    bulletproof security
    capability manager
    codepress admin columns
    easy content templates
    featured page widget
    google xml sitemaps
    liste category posts
    P3 (plugin performance profiler)
    page-list
    paypal donations
    point and stare cms functions
    random posts widget
    regenerate thumbnails
    related posts thumbnails
    rss manager
    section widget
    simply show ids
    sm sticky featured widget
    subheading
    types
    ultimate tiny mce
    use google libraries
    visual form builder
    widgetkit (goes with my theme)
    wordpress download monitor
    wordpress seo
    wp admin microblog
    wp category post list widget
    wpdb spring clean
    wp sliding login/dashboard panel

    I realise that is a lot, but even with all of those, the page load time is like 0.24 seconds (parallelised media), but with DSN, it went to 60 seconds and more!!

    For the love of godzilla I hope you can (and do!) work this out because your plugin is really, really helpful and I think necessary for anyone who has less than tech-savvy contributors or clients…

    Thanks in advance!

    @tomasz1976, did you ever get this worked out? I tried it and finally did!

    Store uploads in this folder: img
    (NO beginning slash!)

    Full URL Path to files: http:/ /img.mydomain.com

    IF you have any existin images on your site in the wp-content/uploads folder:

    in your .htaccess you need:

    # Begin redirect for existing images
    RedirectMatch 301 /wp-content/uploads/(.*)$ http://images.mydomain.com/$1
    # End redirect for existing images

    And run this SQL query in your mySQL database:
    UPDATE wp_posts SET guid = REPLACE(guid,’http://www.yourdomain.com/wp-content/uploads/’,’http://images.yourdomain.com/’)

    Clear your browser cache (Ctrl+F5 in Mozilla Firefox Shift+F5 or Ctrl+F5 in Chrome) and see what happens.

    It took me hours and hours of frustration, searching & trying to get it to work. I can now not only have all new uploads go onto the subdomain, but without permissions issues either.

    Hope this helps you! 🙂

    Not sure what changed (file CHMOD still 755) except eliminating the beginning slash in Store uploads in this folder.

    Anyway, it still shows the red ‘x’in the Media Manager when I upload an image, but at least it’s there. Whew!

    This is my question, too!! Does anyone have an answer? or more accurately, if you do want your new media files to go into your subdomain folder without getting an error what do you need to change in file.php (or anything) to get it to work without errors? (And for your authors as well?)

    What a wonderful surprise, @beautypirate, to see this post!! That did the trick for me, however, I’m wondering if you are able to upload images through your Media Library interface and have them be correct?

    I have it set within Media (in settings)
    Store uploads in this folder /media (it’s public_html/media)
    Full URL path to files http://media.mydomain.com

    But when I try to upload anything via the Media Manager, I get the following error:

    Warning: copy(/media/anacalypsis-vol-2-godfrey-higgins.jpg) [function.copy]: failed to open stream: Permission denied in /home/username/public_html/mydomain.com/wp-admin/includes/file.php on line 348
    1467

    Line 346-349 of file.php says:

    // Copy the temporary file into its destination
    	$new_file = $uploads['path'] . "/$filename";
    	copy( $tmp_file, $new_file );
    	unlink($tmp_file);

    Line 348 is the copy ( $tmp_file, $new_file );

    Do you (or anyone) have any ideas? I’m pulling my hair out over here… 🙁
