    Hi, when I upload an image to wordpress it comes up with the broken image box, I am using the latest wordpress with the latest ‘responsive’ theme..
    I have hosted images on my site (ebuddyuk.com) using photobucket and pasting the direct link into the site but I cannot use this method to add a background to my site…

    Any help would be appreciated!
    Thanks in advance

    What happens when you try to upload an image? Do you get any error messages?

    No, it uploads as normal but when i go to view it it shows as a broken image, I can put the images in posts etc but they will just come up as broken images (i will put one on the front page now)

    Oh also I have ensured everything is under

    I have a feeling it might be something to do with my host (freehosting.com) but I’m really not sure!

    Check your uploads path in Settings->Media. It should be blank in most installs. Also check, via FTP, that the file in being uploaded.

    Hi, I just checked the settings they are right, the image is also being uploaded to my host correctly, i can paste the image in from the host to my website but when i try to upload through wordpress the image is corrupt, this means i cant change my background or logo :/

    Have you tried using another image in case this is image-specific?

    Ask your hosts to check if they are running the latest version of GD Library on your server.
