I have K2 v2.7.1 :: Joomla 3.6.5
SITE INFORMATION
OS Linux i
PHP 5.6.24
MySQLi 5.6.31
Caching Disabled
Gzip Disabled


I am not able to save images.
I have reviewed the fix located at: www.joomlaworks.net/forum/k2-en/45116-image-upload-error-k2-7-and-j3-5

My system file is not the same (see details below) I still have the problem.
How can i edit the item.php file to ensure images are saved to the database?? ::
