Answer 1

None of the above worked for me. So in an effort to give back after taking so much from stackoverflow, here is what I did:

Sometime during the install process a URL rewrite rule was created in IIS. I disabled this rule and then the image crop worked!

Answer 2

I found that in my OVH WordPress server, version 4.7.5, imagemagick was not installed and is required for this function to work properly:

sudo apt-get install imagemagick
sudo service apache2 restart

Answer 3

I re-saved the functions.php file with file encoding UTF-8. It worked for me.( Windows 10 )

Answer 4

After ruling out several causes ( PHP modules, memory limits ), trying to get useful debugging info, and migrating the site to different hosting, I found that the problem was caused by rewrite rules in the .htaccess file.

In this case the rules where added by the security plugin All In One WP Security. Maybe, a newer version of the plugin would have fixed it, but I replaced it with another security plugin some time ago.

With removing all rules from the .htaccess and gradually reintroducing them I discovered that the specific block of lines in .htaccess causing the problem was:

# 5G:[QUERY STRINGS]
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} (\"|%22).*(<|>|%3) [NC,OR]
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} (javascript:).*(\;) [NC,OR]
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} (<|%3C).*script.*(>|%3) [NC,OR]
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} (\\|\.\./|`|='$|=%27$) [NC,OR]
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} (\;|'|\"|%22).* (union|select|insert|drop|update|md5|benchmark|or|and|if) [NC,OR]
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} (base64_encode|localhost|mosconfig) [NC,OR]
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} (boot\.ini|echo.*kae|etc/passwd) [NC,OR]
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} (GLOBALS|REQUEST)(=|\[|%) [NC]
RewriteRule .* - [F]
</IfModule>

Answer 5

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 6

I tried everything here, but nothing helped. Eventually, I found an article which mentioned giving IIS_IUSRS permissions to the WP folder. And that finally got the crop tool working.
