Image Crop Editor Not working

Question

I am having an issue in WordPress admin, where the images are not cropping in WP "edit image" for a site I am creating and I do not know what the cause is.

I've read a few similar topics, but nothing seems to make a dent. I've deactivated all plugins and checked the server, but things seem to be set up just fine.

Can someone possibly steer me in the right direction on how I can get it to work or what might be causing the issue?

Answer 1

I had the same issue but the problem was missing the GD library, https://www.digitalocean.com/community/questions/installing-the-gd-image-library

To install (Linux/ Apache2):

sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install php5-gd sudo service apache2 restart 

Answer 2

Keep in mind, the interface is not intuitive and it's easy to forget that the [Save] button is still deactivated if you do the following:

1. Click the crop button.
2. Select the area you want.

You must do the opposite.

1. Select the area you want.
2. Click the crop button.

Answer 3

I faced the same problem and got it solved. This may be a very late response, but can be useful for other people facing this problem. This is how I resolved it:

Check your functions.php file. See, if you have the closing tag at the every end of the file.

?>

removing this tag fixed my problem. Also can check out this link. Hope this helps!
