Images do upload, but don't appear.

  • Hello,

    I am Tjarco. I recently started to make a website with wordpress. After installing wordpress with installatron i tried (without any other changes) to update to 3.8 automaticly. This didn’t work, so i updated is manually. That did the trick. Now i am experiencing a problem with my images. I am able to upload images, but I can’t really see them. Only when I want to edit the image I can see it. Also on the webpage the images don’t show. The image URL provides me with a 404 error.

    Furthor more, the wp-content/uploads map has 777 permision. And the images that I upload appear in this map with 666 permision.

    I am now using Responsive Theme, but even with standard theme and all plugins deactivated the images won’t work.

    Any suggestions?

    – Check that anti-hotlinking of images isn’t enabled in your hosting account. If it is, try disabling it.
    – Check your uploads path
    – Try changing the permissions on the wp-content directory to 766. If you still have problems, try 767, 775 or 777.

    Once your uploads are working, change the permissions on wp-content back to 755 again (very important for security reasons!) and check that everything still works OK.

    Thanks!

    I was looking for Hotlinking of images in DirectAdmin, but couldn’t find anything. So I saw on a forum something about changing .htacces. I found that my .htacces file in wp-content/uploads said:
    “<Files *.php>
    deny from all
    </Files>
    <Files *.css.php>
    allow from all
    </Files>”

    I changed it to:
    “<Files *.css.php>
    allow from all
    </Files><Files *.php>
    deny from all
    </Files>”

    That made it work! But when i tried to set the permissions of wp-content back to 755, my images werent uploaded anymore (““IMG_1139.JPG” has failed to upload due to an error
    The uploaded file could not be moved to wp-content/uploads”). So i tried 766 (didnt work), 767 (did work), 775 (didnt work) and 777 (did work). So it seems like the images only work correctly when the last digit is 7. What should I do here? Is this maybe still a hotlinking problem, because I can’t really figure out what to do with hotlinking within DirectAdmin?

    Is this a local install or on a remote server. If latter, discuss this permission issue with your webhost.
