Images not showing on pages

Hi,
That’s an interesting problem. WP can get really funny with file paths. It could have to do with your permalink settings, or a plugin for categories, etc. My best guess without hands-on would be that a plugin is making some trouble. Turning one off might fix it quickly.

For plugins and permalinks, an important question would be if the images ever worked before you installed some plugin or changed permalinks.

Another thing to check would be this:
Settings… Media, and looks towards the bottom. Sites can vary here… my site uses the default for “Store uploads…” I wonder if the field below that might help, “Full URL path…” You could try putting this in there:

https://www.grand-national.com/wp-content/uploads

And then try sticking an image into a Post. If that begins to work, then you have one option. The only annoyance is that you’ll need to probably re-enter your images all over. If not, you’ll probably want to take out that setting.

Hope that helps.
Cheers, Dave

None of that worked.

I think I fixed it but clicking the image and going into

Advanced Image Settings
Source

then entering the full url into there. It only had the path and not full site url.

Any idea why it was not entering the full url in the first instance?

Sorry that didn’t work. These things get very messy with all the possible actors involved, not the least of which is .htaccess.

I did notice that your URL was relative while mine were all complete, basically the literal symptom of the problem, though I made no changes at all on my Media settings, they’re very plain vanilla, and always work. So it’s easy to see the symptom, but I’m missing any easy solution, if there is one.

I would have also suggested playing with the “Store uploads….” setting as well, but I’m sure you’ve thought of that.

I’m out of ideas, and maybe someone else will know. You may want to describe your hosting environment, and list any filepath-related plugins, any of which could bork you.

Good luck.
