Images are displayed but image links 404

  • Yesterday I noticed that all of the image links now 404. The images still display correctly around the site and in articles. It’s only when you click them that there’s a problem. I tried changing the link on an image to original file location and it worked, therefore I know that the images are still on the server and where they should be.

    The last time I did anything with images was to install cleaner gallery about a week ago but that only messes with the galleries anyway and everything worked fine after I activated it.

    The possible causes I have seen have ranged from caching problems (I dont use any special caching plugins) to database problems, and even host problems, but this problem seems isolated to just the image links.

    The site is https://www.concordy.com, all of the images are broken at the moment so just click any article. I appreciate any help that anyone can provide!

  • Some of your images are pointing to the wrong url. Instead of pointing to something like https://www.concordy.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/image_name.jpg, they are pointing to a url based upon the post’s permalink – https://www.concordy.com/article/news/january-27-2011/prince-charming-takes-the-poster-prize/student-forum-sexual-assault-poster/

    Yes I believe that was something which I set when I first set up the site. It worked that way the whole time until now. The picture at that address was one of the resized ones (the large one I believe) rather than the original image which in some cases is gigantic and takes quite a long time to load.

    What code are you using to generate the link to that image attachment page?

    No code, just inserting the images normally.

    Are you leaving at least 1 blank space between each of the captioned image inserts? Or are you using the inbuilt WP gallery?

    Well there might be one or two galleries but most of it is just individually inserted pictures. I don’t exactly know what you mean by the space in between pictures but I am pretty sure that there is at least one.

    I just found some mention of a similar occurrence in this thread:

    Not really much help but I’ll take anything at the moment.

    Try:
    – deactivating all plugins to see if this resolves the problem. If this works, re-activate the plugins one by one until you find the problematic plugin(s).

    – switching to the Twenty Ten theme to rule out any theme-specific problems.
