17547,Image upload issues - Size reported as 0x0,David_Miller,,"When I upload any image of any size to my wordpress installation the image uploads fine, but the size is reported as 0x0 and has only one option of inserting it as a full-sized image!

Further inspection of this issue has led me to believe that it lays with wordpress not inserting the correct (if any) meta data for the attachment into the database.

As you can see in the image below, the meta data is present and this image shows all options of inserting the image in the post at all sizes specified in the WordPress media settings panel.

But as you can clearly see from the image below, when the meta data is missing it shows you can't post the image at any size except full which is stated as 0x0px - Clearly something is wrong!

Many people have had and are still having this issue since 2.5. There are quite a few forum threads relating to it with not a single word from anyone from WordPress.

Several tickets have been submitted to the WordPress Trac system with the issues going unresolved. This is a major problem and many people have reported it, yet nothing seems to have been done.

If any solution exists to this problem, please let me know, I have been searching for weeks now to no avail. When I talk about solutions, I do not mean using plugins to ""regenerate thumbnails""! Yes I know this works, but it does not solve the problem as its only a temporary fix. Plus it needs to regenerate the images every time you upload a new image.

Side note :
I have tried a completely new installation of WordPress with and with out plugins on a completely different database. I have uploaded and re-uploaded the WordPress files also.

This is the type of image I am uploading. I took it on my Nikon D3100 and compressed to 80% @ 960x768 which makes it 83KB so it's not exceeding any upload limits and I am still having problems.

My host claims it is not their fault and they have recompiled apache and php for me, the php memory limit is also set to 128mb and file upload size is limited to 8mb.
