Unable to add images in post

Hello Friends,

Please help!

I am unable to add images in my posts. I have around 80 posts. Using paid editorial theme.
I have a two user setup on another computer with dropbox. I have updated publii to 0.38.1 on both computers.

it keeps stuck on loading after i select an image from browsing in my computer.

Also I get this error when i try to save the post – however i do get the post saved notification.

Hi,

Please try to go to the App Settings and change the image resize engine from “sharp” to “jimp” and then please check again.

Hello Tomasz,

Thanks for the reply. I tried it but it didnt solve it.
1. tried added image in gallery mode – its stuck on ‘loading’
2. tried to add a single image – it’s not taking any ‘source’
3. when i exit the post, i get the attached error.

Other things I have tried:
1. opening the ‘site’ backup in version 0.37.3 (the last one on downloads page)
2. resetting all the theme settings by cloning the site
but the same problem continues.

Also this error only happens with this particular ‘site’ project. all the other test ‘sites’ in publii are working alright. I am using theme override for custom css.

So my guess is the problem is somewhere in the files of this particular site.

Is there some way I can create a new site and import all the posts there? the site backup option doesnt work.

Could you provide me a config.json file from your theme? Maybe there is a problem

It seems that this file is correct. It must be something wrong in one of the JSON files of your website.

Could you share with me a backup of your website? I suppose that it can be caused by manual changes in the files.

Hello Tomasz,

How do you wish for me to share the project backup with you?

Hello Tomasz!

I was able to fix the error. Thanks for the hint! It was an extra in one of the json files. Damn! Thankfully I found it.

I wasnt using git with publii files. Lesson learnt!

First thing now i did was setup the git.

thank you and good luck!
