Media Library Thumbnails Not Appearing When Adding Featured Image WordPress
- SOLVED
Hi,
So I did something I should have known not to do, that being FTPing one uploads folder to another on a different site. Of course, WP doesn't store that information, but I wasn't thinking correctly.
Well, somehow this messed up my Media Library thumbnails and previews. Whenever I go edit a page or post, when I try to upload an image and click on the Media Library tab, nothing displays, even though it says there are X amount of images in the database. I've tried deleting the images and removing the postmeta data from phpMyAdmin, but it is still not working.
Below is a link to an image to show you what I am talking about. I would love to get this resolved - it is annoying more than anything!

I've never heard of this happening to anyone else and I'm sorry that this happened - that would drive me crazy.
Both of these answers are long shots...but have you tried:
1) Switching back to a default theme like Twenty Ten and then switching back to your custom theme?
2) Replacing the entire contents of the /wp-admin and /wp-includes folder from a fresh install download

OK,
I think I understand your problem better now, I didn't know you were using custom post types. Could you share the code you used to create the custom post type?

Hmm, so apparently this is caused by me registering taxonomies for custom post types. Whenever I remove the custom taxonomies from the functions.php file, the thumbs and previews show up. But whenever I place the code back in, the thumbs and previews no longer show up. Any reason why this would be happening?
Thomas Griffin comments:
Well, that was weird. Apparently I can't have a custom taxonomy named "Type". I guess WordPress uses that somehow when referencing items in the Media Library. I just changed the taxonomy name and it fixed the issue. Odd.

derekshirk comments:
Yes, that's what I was just going to suggest:
register_taxonomy('type',array('custom-post-type-name-here'),
