[Plugin: Connections] TimThumb error has occured

I also get the spinning wheel as well. I tried modding folder permissions, and enabling multi-site code around line 200 in connections.php, but nothing worked, so I just decided to put display:none; in the cn-image code in cn-admin.css. A hidden image is better than a broken one.

What is the output if you use URL?

https://mysite.com/site1/wp-content/connection_images/pam_b_original.jpg

Do you see the image?

Marking resolved.

care to elaborate ?

Steven,

Sorry for the lengthy delay in getting back to you. Yes, if I output:

https://mysite.com/site1/wp-content/connection_images/pam_b_original.jpg

I do see the image.

But, still not seeing the thumbnail or the image on the page.

Thanks.

@daxtrajero

I marked the issue as resolved because it was an old support request… not because it was it was resolved for the op.

Marking not resolved. New info provided.

The primary reasons that images will not display are as follows:

98% of the time it is an error in the javascript in the theme or another plugin which is causing javascript from continuing to execute. To see if this might be the issue, load the site up in Chrome, hit the F12 key and then click the Console tab. All javascript errors will be shown there.

1% and greater of the time, it is a permissions error, but I believe that has been ruled out in this case.

The remaining less than one percent of the time is still permissions error that seem to be unresolvable. However, I think the issue is because TimThumb can not determine the doc root. I think this is because of the way the IIS server is configured. I have not seen this issue on LAMP stack based servers. Since I will be moving away from TimThumb I’m not actively seeking the root cause and resolution.

Steven,

My JS console is telling me – on each thumbnail on the admin side:

Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 400 (Bad Request)

Console showing nothing for the missing images on the actual page.

But, clearly a server issue.

Thanks for helping.

Sounds like a permissions issue.

Just want to make sure I’ve got the correct perms on plugin’s timthumb stuff. Does this look right?

Can you please share a link to your directory?

Same issue here. After I did the TimThimb security updates, Connections caused WP to crash. I removed it from the plugin directory and all is well. It’s a bug caused by TimThumb updates.

@brancht

Connections already and has always shipped with the secure version of TimThumb. Even more, the attack vector used in the attack well over a year ago is disable in the version that ships with Connections. Please do not use scripts that “updates” TimThumb on Connections.
