When I upload images it will not provide a thumbnail image. I read through various posts and understand many shared servers have blocked proc_open and seems mine is that too. I turned imagemagik to false and default to GD which is active on my server but imagemagik is not but still thumbnail is not showing and gives the error

I have also noticed proc_open also affecting scribunto and the lua file as shown here

Despite searching I cannot seem to find an alternative to fix the image thumbnail issue and the lua issue
I am sure there is a workaround about that will fix this as I cannot be the only one who has this blocked on their server.
i can ftp the main directory but have no access to the root otherwise i would have changed php.ini myself. I also added a flag command to .htaccess to see if i could activate proc_open that way but that did not work.
I have also noticed that version MediaWiki 1.23.15 the thumbnails work fine with imagemagik false yet when same setting is on 1.27 it fails.
