Hey Anthony, not sure if you've already tried any of this.

  1. Try re-uploading wp-config as UTF-8 without BOM.

    <?php function(){ ... } ?>  // No spaces between empty PHP tags.
<?php function(){ ... } ?>

Anthony, I'm not entirely sure. Sometimes it could be you don't have enough memory on the server. I prefer to use an actual application for image editing. In my experience, to get the best experience out of WordPress, you need some good hosting. Not only that, but the host has to be specifically configured to make WordPress work its best. I can recommend a DigitalOcean droplet (at least 10 GB), Media Temple's WordPress hosting, or maybe even WPEngine. Those are the ones I'm more familiar with.

Hi Dustin,

Thanks for your advice I use an application myself but i was just testing all the WordPress functions as if I was a client and this was the only issue I came across unfortunately its proving to be a tough one to crack i thought it may have been an issue with my custom functions.php file.
