Figured it out! Our live server was missing the GD Image Library. For some reason it was not included in the package we used to instance our server. I found the tip about the GD lib in this thread from the WordPress support forum. It was three years old, but pointed to the missing library. … Read more
I found that what was causing this issue was a plugin I had enabled that was supposed to handle retina images called WP Retina 2X. I disabled the plugin and it immediately fixed the issue.

Under settings >> media, change the height attributes to 9999, and untick Crop thumbnail to exact dimensions (normally thumbnails are proportional) under the thumbnail size if it is ticked. When you are done, download and install “Force Regenerate Thumbnails”. This is actually better than “Regenerate Thumbnails” as it deletes all redundant image sizes.
With your method it would be very tricky, if it’s possible at all. What you could do is use a custom header with flexible dimensions. That would allow the user to upload the header image and then crop it how ever they needed easily. // Register Theme Features function custom_theme_features() { // Add theme support … Read more
