Title: Image Upload Help! Last modified: August 19, 2016 --- # Image Upload Help! * Resolved [solidsmoke](https://wordpress.org/support/users/solidsmoke/) * (@solidsmoke) * [16 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/image-upload-help/) * So I’m hosting my first wordpress blog on an old pc in the house. Everything seems to work fine, but when I try to upload an image nothing happens. * Flash uploader won’t work, browser uploader won’t work. They both show the progress bar completing, but once thats done nothing happens. * If I go to the uploads directory on the pc thats actually hosting the site, the images ARE there…but I still can’t see them on wordpress and add them to posts. * If I navigate there through another pc on my network, I can see the image files are there, but I can’t view them. I can move them around and delete them etc. but not view. * Any suggestions?

I’m going to try an entirely new wordpress install and see what happens. * Thread Starter [solidsmoke](https://wordpress.org/support/users/solidsmoke/) * (@solidsmoke) * [16 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/image-upload-help/#post-1531927) * new install wasn’t successful. also tried in every browser and still nothing 🙁 * [esmi](https://wordpress.org/support/users/esmi/) * (@esmi) * [16 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/image-upload-help/#post-1531929) * Is the GD Library installed on your local server? * Thread Starter [solidsmoke](https://wordpress.org/support/users/solidsmoke/) * (@solidsmoke) * [16 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/image-upload-help/#post-1531933) * yes, it was bundled with my PHP install * [esmi](https://wordpress.org/support/users/esmi/) * (@esmi) * [16 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/image-upload-help/#post-1531936) * Have you checked the uploads path in Settings/Miscellaneous? (And yes – I’m running out of ideas…) * Thread Starter [solidsmoke](https://wordpress.org/support/users/solidsmoke/) * (@solidsmoke) * [16 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/image-upload-help/#post-1531949) * i have checked the uploads path 🙁 * ive even tried the suggestion of typing in the default path instead of leaving it blank * Thread Starter [solidsmoke](https://wordpress.org/support/users/solidsmoke/) * (@solidsmoke) * [16 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/image-upload-help/#post-1531950) * its weird though that the files DO upload but wordpress can’t see them. Could it be a permission issue? * [esmi](https://wordpress.org/support/users/esmi/) * (@esmi) * [16 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/image-upload-help/#post-1531953) * I’d expect a placeholding image to be shown if it was a permissions problem. Are the files getting uploaded to the correct uploads folder? Are the three additional images being created when appropriate? * Thread Starter [solidsmoke](https://wordpress.org/support/users/solidsmoke/) * (@solidsmoke) * [16 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/image-upload-help/#post-1531968) * the files are going where they need to, no additional images are being created though * [esmi](https://wordpress.org/support/users/esmi/) * (@esmi) * [16 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/image-upload-help/#post-1531970) * Assuming that some of these images are quite large, that suggests that it’s not a permissions issue but that something is failing during the upload/image creation process. Do you have any error logs on the server? * Thread Starter [solidsmoke](https://wordpress.org/support/users/solidsmoke/) * (@solidsmoke) * [16 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/image-upload-help/#post-1532034) * honestly, I wouldn’t know where to look for them. Does wordpress keep some kind of log file i can look at?
