The wordpress crop tool is greyed out for me in Firefox 3.6 (and IE7/8). I have disabled firefox add-ons and tried the solution here:
WordPress Image Editor not working – conflict?
But this hasn’t resolved the issue. Anyone know how wordpress determines whether to enable the crop button?
WP version is 3.0.1
thanks,
For me, the button became available once I clicked and dragged the mouse cursor over part of the image to select an area to crop.
The crop tool and edit-image interface is not as intuitive as it could be.
For anyone looking for why the crop tool is deactivated and the save button is greyed-out, here are the steps for getting the crop tool to work:
I’m 99% sure this was caused by the firephp plugin.
For anyone else where codecowboy’s solution did not resolve the problem try this…
I had a very similar issue to what I think your experiencing over there… After hours and hours of trying to resolve it by coincidence I figured out that the problem was an extra space at the bottom of my custom functions.php file.
So… go and try this. Open your themes main folder and look for your functions.php file. Now go to the very bottom of the page and look for the closing ?> php tag. Now, make sure that there are NO tabs, spaces or line returns after the > including any comments or anything extra.
For me this fixed my issue and I think its a wordpress problem. If your still having the issue check to see if your calling any external php files within your functions.php file and if so do the same steps as listed above. Hope it helps someone.
