I may have found what is wrong by chance:

when I tried to produce a child theme for by WP installation I ran into the situation where absolute url’s were not accepted by the host to access the parent-theme files from within the child theme directory. I did some research and found I had to write a helper function to get the path as defined from the SERVER DOCUMENT ROOT:

function ParentURL()
{
	return str_replace(get_bloginfo('url'), $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'], get_bloginfo('template_url'));
}

What this does for the template url is to replace the ‘home’ url part in that path by the ‘server document root’ path. so for example:

http://www.myblog.com/wordpress/wp-content/themes/mytemplate

will become:

/home/myhostaccount/domains/myblog.com/public_html/wordpress/wp-content/themes/mytemplate

It is quite likely that a similar issue exists with accessing the images directory. The host sequrity settings will then block access even if the RW settings seem to permit it.

I guess it’s worth a try to look at this for photodropper!

Got the message below from the Firebug Console.
Is this helpful?

Hello, I have the same problem as spabav above.

I have checked the file permissions and there’s nothing wrong there. Even a setting of 777 does not mend the problem. Therefore it seems that the photodropper plugin is either broken in WP version 3.3.1 or it is incompatible with another plugin.

Thesse are the ones I have active:

Akismet
Compfight
Email Obfuscator
Free Stock Photos Foter
Google Analytics for WordPress
Google XML Sitemaps
lorem shortcode
Maintenance Mode
Page Lists Plus
PhotoDropper
PHP Execution
Pretty Link Lite
Robots Meta
SI CAPTCHA Anti-Spam
WordPress SEO
WP-Optimize
WP Issuu

I’m using a theme I developed in Artisteer but that should not be important I think.

Please find out what’s wrong because I really like the concept of your plugin. IF IT WORKS that is!
