I am unable to add an image to the image section of an item when I choose it. I click save and it just reverts back to the screen and no image in place. Have tried changing all the permissions of the component but nothing seems to work. Any suggestions anyone?

:(

Hi. Are the permissions changed? Go to K2 information and see permissions. There you will also see other requirements.

I've set all the permission in the K2 component folder to 777 but it still just goes back to the screen without saving the image upload or giving me any kind of error even with error reporting switched on...

In the Image tab, by the browse button, what does it say for max upload size? Does the image or video that you are trying to upload exceed this stated size? How long before you are reverted back to the Item page, are you possibly getting timed out?

I am also having problems with images. I had to change some php settings on my server.

upload_max_filesize, post_max_size, and max_execution_time

I now get the images to load without any problem .... I just can't get them to show up automatically in the item.... Still working on that!

It says (Max upload size: 50M)

My image is only about 30kb

Any resolution on this? K2 has been a huge disappointment. It makes the simplest things so difficult!

I am having the same problems.

But Funny thing is sometimes it happens and some times it doesn't. I tested with Images that are 700Kb no problem, then I test with the Image I actually want on the site (67kb) and it can't load. When I click Apply it just says "Connecting" and nothing happens.

I got fedup so I went to Media Manager. Tried to upload the picture from there. The bigger picture for uploaded fast, the actual one I want to use never gets loaded and Error message reads "Could not connect to the Backend"

I am getting quite tired of Joomla itself....

Ok this is the Stupidest Thing ever. The image I wanted to upload was last Modified in 2006. I opened in it any editor and made it a Little brighter and hit save. The Modified Date is now today and I could upload the file!

Please fix this problem K2 its embarrassing. For those that need a work around in the mean time you can give it a try.

@Brett

Did you check the information page?

@Derrick

There are many many satisfied users of K2, so probably the issue is your setup. If you post some information, maybe we can help you.

@Sio Hock Chuan
The media manager upload is not a comparable situation. K2 uploads the image and then resize it to 6 different sizes. Also , apart from the filesize, the resolution matters in this situation. So if you are tyring to upload a high resolution image then you may need to increase PHP's memory limit.

Found the solution:

Give the "write permission" to the following folders ....:

The current status is:
media/k2 Not writable
media/k2/attachments Not writable
media/k2/categories Not writable
media/k2/galleries Not writable
media/k2/items Not writable
media/k2/users Not writable
media/k2/videos Not writable
cache Not writable
