Problems with images

For the last couple of years I’ve had an issue where I couldn’t upload images directly into WordPress, so I just did it through Mars Edit. I recently started setting up a store via WooCommerce and found that I couldn’t use Mars Edit to upload product images, so started playing around with ways to fix the image upload problem.

I deactivated a bunch of plugins and ran WP Optimiser and it worked! Once. I uploaded one product image and the next came back with an error message, just like it used to.

So I did what any fool would do and googled solutions and blindly started trying to implement them. I went into FileZilla and changed permissions on my directories and files and now some of my content has disappeared (header slideshow, some images) and I’m much worse off than I used to be.

Most images in my media library are now a blank box with a question mark in the centre, and some images on my site are showing up that way, too.

The technical steps I’ve described are the extent of my knowledge on how to work through this stuff. I love WordPress because it doesn’t require me to be ‘tech’, but it is definitely my downfall when things don’t go write right.

I’d be so grateful for any help!
