No theme images appearing anywhere
-
I have just done a fresh install of WordPress 6.1. No images appear in the installed theme. On the home page, for example, the words “Illustration of a flying bird.” appear where the illustration should be. On the themes page of the dashboard, empty rectangles appear where there should be images of the themes. The editor does not display the theme elements properly, showing spinners in some of the blocks and no images. It does not seem to matter which theme is installed. I get the same result using five different browsers.
I have been playing with WordPress for a few days in a new domain trying to decide if it is the right CMS for me. My first install was 6.0.3. That displayed images but had the same problem with the editor. I deleted that install and played with Drupal for a while but liked WordPress better. I uninstalled Drupal. I have since installed and uninstalled WordPress versions 6.1, 6.0.3, 5.9.5, and finally did the current 6.1 install. All of those installs had/have the problem described above. Somewhere in that process I went so far as to delete the domain and rebuild it from scratch.
I am running PHP 7.4.
Here are the contents of the .htaccess file:
—————————————————
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule .* – [E=HTTP_AUTHORIZATION:%{HTTP:Authorization}]
RewriteBase /wp/
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ – [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /wp/index.php [L]
</IfModule># php — BEGIN cPanel-generated handler, do not edit
# Set the “ea-php74” package as the default “PHP” programming language.
<IfModule mime_module>
AddHandler application/x-httpd-ea-php74___lsphp .php .php7 .phtml
</IfModule>
# php — END cPanel-generated handler, do not edit
—————————————————Any insight into how to correct this?

Mike,
Do you have Hotlink Protection enabled through CPanel? This would apply to a shared-hosting environment. If so, disable it, at least for now. That was the source of much of my problem. If not, .htaccess settings are probably not what’s giving you grief. The fact that you can see most of the images in mobile view strongly suggests that .htaccess settings are not the problem.It is more likely a caching problem, maybe caused by a plugin. Have you tried deactivating all plugins. If that improves things, try reactivating the plugins one at a time until the problem reappears. That will isolate which plugin is the problem.
Other than that you can search the forum for something like “images not showing 6.1”.
If nothing seems to fit your situation, create your own post.
I think it’s going to take some time for things to shake out with 6.1.
Good luck!!!
John
