Answer 1

check .htaccess file in root of wordpress, maybe there is a rule for /uploads directory. if so, remove it. but be careful and check which plugin did it, so disable the plugin, first.

Answer 2

Check Screen Options (dropdown tab in the upper right hand corner of the page), and make sure there are sane settings for what to show on screen. All the column settings should be checked, and there should be a positive number of media items being shown on screen.

If that is ok, then check Settings → Media and make sure that Uploading Files folder is set to wp-content/uploads.

I believe these are the only settings that can be changed from the administrative screens.

Answer 3

Here's something a guy on Wordpress forum showed us. Add the following to your functions.php file. (remember to create a backup of your functions.php first)

add_filter( 'wp_image_editors', 'change_graphic_lib' );
function change_graphic_lib($array) {
  return array( 'WP_Image_Editor_GD', 'WP_Image_Editor_Imagick' );
}

...it was that simple.

I had this problem with wordpress 3.8.1 and it turned out that my functions.php wasn't saved as utf-8. Re-saved it and it

Answer 5

it was your permalinks... you must have changed to labeled-name... switch back to default.

that worked for me.

Considering the files were not uploaded via media uploader, they are present in the server but there's no reference to them in your database (in a little more detail).

In order to fix it, install the Media Sync plugin. Once it's active, under Media > Media Sync > Scan Files and select the files you want to import by click the checkbox next to them. Make sure also you untick the selectbox Dry Run (test without making database changes).

Then, when the time comes for you to be ready, just click "Import Selected" and you should see something like this

Once it is finished, you can visit Media > Library and you'll see all your imported files there.
