Hello, I’ve encountered a issue over on my forum. Sometimes when uploading an image it gets stuck on processing. Not sure what is causing this.

I tried disabling image optimization all together, but still have problems.

Also I’ve tried following this, but I’m not sure where to force https after the fact. I uses the normal installation process so that should not be the issue.

> Hi! I am kicking the tires on Discourse looking at adopting it for a new forum project. I have built a fresh environment using the latest version (2.0.8.beta6). While testing image uploads, I am running into an issue where small image uploads work fine, but larger image uploads show a “Processing” message that never seems to progress and resolve to an actual imbedded image. Instead, the post retains these blue links instead of the image - and clicking the links produces no response. the screens…

Any help is awesome.

**Note on solution** : After changing the setting a server reboot may be required.

It could be, there is a bug in the current install process.  
Just search for `force https` in Admin - Settings.

When the upload is stuck on “processing”, do you see anything abnormal in the console or network tabs of your browser?

Awesome, I found it in the setting and enabled it. I re-enabled image optimization and it didn’t work at first, but after rebooting the server images are processing fine.

Thank you for pointing me to the correct setting.
