Images show in homepage but not in single posts

  • Hi to all, from some weeks i have the following problem (i think i didnt made any particular change…)

    in practice in my blog https://www.digitalking.it the images in the post show and working fine but if entering in a single post they dont show!

    And i know that the problem is with the path, i mean the permalinks modify the url path of the image.

    Example an image in a post of homepage has this address

    https://www.digitalking.it/upload/flag_it.png

    If i go to songle related post now the url is:

    https://www.digitalking.it/2009/04/02/upload/flag_it.png

    so then it doesnt display.

    What’s happened?

    I remember that in admin panel i correctly see it, i tried both relative and absolute path in img src= but with no results!

    Thanks a lot.
    Simone

  • hi

    For starters, check your uploads location settings in Admin / Miscellaneous

    Hi and thanks for support, i checked it but it’s set all to default it seems, i mean in first text field i have “wp-content/uploads” and in the second is blank.

    Hi

    I just went to your homepage https://www.digitalking.it/
    Looking at this post on homepage
    Come fare musica professionale gratuitamente o quasi Parte 1
    I see the recording board image

    I clicked the title and was brought to
    https://www.digitalking.it/2009/04/02/come-fare-musica-professionale-gratuitamente-o-quasi-parte-1/
    Where I also see the image in the post.

    When I click on https://www.digitalking.it/upload/flag_it.png
    I am taken to a page where the URL redirects to
    https://www.digitalking.it/upload/no-hotlink.gif and I get an error message saying

    Redirect Loop
    Firefox has detected that the server is redirecting the request for this address in a way that will never complete.

    You have something in place that is redirecting attempts to directly link to an image. That may be causing at least part of the problem you are having.

    it is true that when I click on
    https://www.digitalking.it/2009/04/02/upload/flag_it.png
    I am seeing a 404 error.

    If the Come fare musica professionale gratuitamente o quasi Parte 1 post is not typical of your posts, send along the front page URL of a page on which I will see the image on the posts page and when I click on the title I will not see the image on the single page. Because I haven’t seen that problem yet.

    Thanks for reply, if you go to homepage https://www.digitalking.it you see the article “come fare musica professionale gratuitamente o quasi Parte 1” with a flag near when starting text of article, if you go to the post https://www.digitalking.it/2009/04/02/come-fare-musica-professionale-gratuitamente-o-quasi-parte-1/ you dont see no more the flag!
    You can notice it well using IE7 that puts a blank square in place of the flag, because it doesnt find the image at that path (https://www.digitalking.it/2009/04/02/upload/flag_it.png)

    You both see the big image in homepage and specific post because is from an external source and with those links works, but with internal links (i mean images directly upped in my web hosting space) it doesnt show!

    Dont worry about the redirection, i have made the blocking “hotlinking” in my htaccess file so anyone that direct link any image from my blog is redirected to the no-hotlink.gif, this is a common good practice to do and to save hosting bandwidth.

    So this is my htaccess file:

    # BEGIN WordPress
    <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteBase /
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
    RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
    </IfModule>

    # END WordPress

    # BEGIN Hotlink Protection
    RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^$
    RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !digitalking\.it [NC]
    RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !google\. [NC]
    RewriteRule .*\.(jpe?g|gif|png|bmp)$ https://www.digitalking.it/upload/no-hotlink.gif [NC,L]
    # END Hotlink Protection

    well in practice happens that when i put the img src code with a specific path URL, in homepage it shows like i have written, but in the single posts WP automatically add the permalinks so the image is not more showing, so the base URL is like hostingname + permalink + fileimage path i written in post, i dont want this i jjust want hostingname + fileimage path! (naturally i want use permalinks as always used!)

    I also tried to resave permalinks settings and miscellaneous settings, but nothing… i also tried use the default theme but nothing too…

    Any help?

    Hi

    You have image links set with relative paths ../upload/flag.png

    When I went to your single page and changed the URL from ../upload/flag.png to /upload.png the flag image displayed as intended. The bottom line is relative paths are not going to work.

    Another thing I don’t understand – in our earlier posts

    stvwlf: For starters, check your uploads location settings in Admin / Miscellaneous

    sigibian: Hi and thanks for support, i checked it but it’s set all to default it seems, i mean in first text field i have “wp-content/uploads” and in the second is blank.

    I checked for your flag image at https://www.digitalking.it/wp-content/uploads/flag_it.png, which is where you told WP it would be, and received a 404. The image appears to actually be at https://www.digitalking.it/upload/flag_it.png.

    Relative paths are going to cause problems at times in a CMS because the path they are relative to changes. If your images are going to be in https://www.digitalking.it/upload/ it will work from any path if you set the image path to /upload/image.png

    Hi I found an error in my reply –
    it should say

    When I went to your single page and changed the URL from ../upload/flag.png to /upload/flag.png the flag image displayed as intended.

    I understand what is the problem! Relative links broken in WP with permalinks but with absolute links works!

    This is a thread i found about
