    Hi,

    I recently upgraded from WP 2.0 to 2.92 and all worked great – database updated and all the posts from the last 5 years were good.

    Unfortunately every time i try to upload an image into the media library the thumbnail appears as a blank (or red X in IE). All 500 images from the last few years uploaded with WP 2.0 are visible in the media library as thumbnails and can be inseted successfully into posts but since updating to 2.92 i cannot see any of the recently uploaded image thumbnails in the media library or insert them into a post.

    When i insert an image from a URL it works fine but it’s clumsy and few options available.

    I have tried reverting to the default theme and changing permissions on the WP-content folder but no luck.

    Current theme is the amazing Suffusion
    URL: http://www.girirajswami.com

    Please help

  • Can you post a link to a page that includes a “missing” image?

    Have you tried:

    – deactivating all plugins to see if this resolves the problem? If this works, re-activate the plugins one by one until you find the problematic plugin(s).

    – switching to the default theme to rule out any theme-specific problems?

    – checking your uploads path in Settings/Miscellaneous?

    Thanks for the reply.

    I have switched to the default theme with the same result.

    The path in Settings/Miscellaneous is wp-content/uploads with the option to Organize my uploads into month- and year-based folders checked.

    Should there be a specific path like: wp-content/uploads/2010/04 instead?

    Here is the URL to a page with a missing image (sounds contradictory doesn’t it)

    http://www.girirajswami.com/?page_id=1199

    I only have one plugin which is Podpress and disabling it does not help.

    Any more ideas?

    Thanks

    hould there be a specific path like: wp-content/uploads/2010/04 instead?

    No. The settings you have appear to be correct.

    It looks like it might be a permissions or .htaccess issue. The image url on that page points to http://girirajswami.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/03.Rohini_initiation.jpg

    But when I tried to access the image directly, I got a 403 (Forbidden).

    That path is correct so why the forbidden notice? What can i try next?

    Have you checked your .htaccess files?

    i contacted my service provider and changed the permissions on that folder to something recommended in one post (i can’t remember the number)

    Excuse my ignorance but how do i check the .htaccess files and what do i look for?

    What chmod/permissions did you use? 755? Did you apply it to the uploads, 2010 and 04 folders?

    Thread Starter derek108

    (@derek108)

    Yes 755 applied to the whole wp-contents folder

    Recursively? Have you checked the 04 folder?

    Messed about with the permissions not quite knowing what i was doing and voila!

    Thank you so much,

    With gratitude

    Cool! Glad to hear that you managed to sort it in the end. πŸ™‚
