 * Hello! I have a problem when I upload an image of the contact person, for some
   reason Connections plugin adds an extra .jpg to the filename which makes the 
   file unreadable.
 * The original file uploaded is filename.jpg. After uploading the file as a contact
   persons image the file is renamed to filename.jpg.jpg
 * Any idea why this happens?

 * It sounds like a plugin conflict, though I have never seen this before.
 * Please try the steps outlines in this troubleshooting doc:
    - [https://connections-pro.com/faqs/how-do-i-check-for-a-plugin-conflict/](https://connections-pro.com/faqs/how-do-i-check-for-a-plugin-conflict/)
 * Also, does the same happen with a PNG? What about JPEG instead of JPG?

 * Hello!
 * I tried with downloading the website to my computer and there was no problem 
   there.
 * When this problem started we changed server of the website. I wonder if it could
   have something to do with this serverchange. Maybe there is a setting on the 
   server that needs to be done?

 * Is there any plugin running on the server that is not running on the site downloaded
   on your computer?
 * Have you tried the plugin conflict check?

 * It is all the same plugins, and I have also tried deactivating all plugins but
   the problem is still there.

 * When you upload jpegs in the Media Library, does the same occur?
 * Does the same happen with a PNG?
 * Does the same happen if the file is named with `.jpeg` instead of `.jpg`?

 * I see there is a similiar problem when I upload images to the image-library. 
   I can see that that file is uploaded but I can’t see the image, there is an empty
   thumbnail in the media library. When I try to view the image with the imagefilelink
   it says “cannot be found”. But I see that the file is in fact there in Filezilla.
   The difference with the connections images and the media library problem is that
   that in the media library the image is not renamed. I am guessing both of these
   problems has something to do with the server?

 * Yes, if it affects the Media Library, you’ll have to contact the web host support
   team. I didn’t think of it before, but I am not surprised to learn this because
   Connections uses core WP features/functions for image upload processing. Unfortunately,
   I can not even begin to guess what needs to be changed on the server to correct
   this.
 * If you have not tried, see if it affects other image types such as `PNG` and 
   alternate file extensions such as `JPEG`. That can help narrow causes.
 * Lastly, please visit the WordPress Site Health admin page under the Tools admin
   menu. The could be issues listed here that WP detects and offer solutions to.
 * Please, let me know what you learn. I am curious about the cause and the solution.
   Thanks!

 * Thank you Steven! Tried PNG and JPEG with the same result. I will try contacting
   the server host and let you know. =)

 * The problem is now solwed, it was the filepermissions on the new server that 
   were incorrect. Thank you for helping out!

 * Thanks for letting me know. I would never have guessed that permissions would
   have caused such results. I’ll have to see if I can duplicate this scenario and
   add a check for it.
