# Plugin requesting wrong address for thumbnails

 * When I view images in the plugin’s trash, the thumbnails for these images would
   not load. When checking the console, I see this error: “Failed to load resource:
   the server responded with a status of 404 (Not Found)”. Checking the address 
   of the images that are requested, I see that the plugin is requesting images 
   from “/p-content/uploads/wpmc-trash/” instead of “/wp-content/uploads/wpmc-trash/”–
   the “w” is missing from the requested address. This only happens with images 
   in the trash folder. How should I fix this?

 * I should also mention that if there are more than ~15 entries in the trash requesting
   thumbnails and getting 404 errors, I get a 504 timeout error and my server crashes.
   While there is a way around this to use the plugin without crashing my server,
   I’d like to fix this anyway.

 * I have never ever seen this happening, and no other users mentioned this issue.
   Are you using the Media Library or Filesystem mode? Is there something I should
   know about your install? Something different? Are your files hosted outside WordPress?

 * Sounds like collateral damage unfortunately 🙂 But I would like to say that… 
   your server should really not crash even though there are 20-40 404 errors in
   a row: those are static files (images are) and http servers handle this extremely
   quickly. With thousands of requests, I could imagine a timeout, maybe… but a 
   crash? Something is really odd. Are you using a professional hosting service?
   Or your own server? It sounds like there might be something misconfigured (I 
   am not throwing the rock at someone’s else, just trying to help).
