I’ve experienced recently issues regarding the Wpbakery plugin, images not showing, working, uploading.
If you are using a theme with “WP Bakery”, there is a good chance that you have issues when uploading images from the “Media” page.
In my case, after disabling the WP Bakery plugin, the issue is gone, the images can be uploaded perfectly.
Issues that I’ve encountered: either getting this error: Fatal error: Maximum execution time of 30 seconds exceeded in WordPress.
Or the image getting stuck at 100% or at “crunching”.
How to fix Wpbakery images not showing, working, uploading?
Open wp-config.php and add this code at any place:
1 2 | define( 'WP_MEMORY_LIMIT', '256M' ); set_time_limit(3000); |
Try again to upload a picture, it should work perfectly.
These lines of code will work because by default, you might have a 30 seconds limit set by your hosting provider.
Or you can just disable WP Bakery and try, it should work as well.
Consider using another theme that is not dependent on WP Bakery.
You might also get some error saying “http error”.
In that case, just try to upload the image again and also disable other plugins like “Smush”.
Or at least set “Smush” to not optimize images in real time.
Only when you choose to do it.
Things to have in mind.
Uploading a basic image of 200-300kb can even take about 30 seconds to one minute.
