Images - blank thumbnails in media library, not loading in blog posts
3 replies · Started by Stephen on November 16, 2021
Hello,
I am experiencing major issues uplooading images to the media. First, the thumbnails are blank but more importantly when I try to add the image to a blog post, nothing loads. Strangely, if I edit the image in the image library it shows up so I can do things like crop it. Also about 50% of images load and 50% don't. I can't identify any trends of images that load/don't load.
Please let me know what could be the issue.
Best,
Stephen
Hi there,
The media library is a WordPress core feature so this shouldn't be a theme/GP issue.
Can you try disabling all plugins except GP Premium to test?
If that doesn't help, please activate a Twenty series WP theme to see if the issue exists there as well.
Let me know :)
OK, thanks. I figured it out. I had an ad blocker Chrome Extension installed (uBlock Origin) and the image I was trying to load had "google-ads" in the file name so it was blocking it. Never had a ad blocker block something in Media library but now I know its possible.
Glad to hear.
