Red cross uploading images from computer

    I am having trouble uploading images from the computer as each time a red cross shows up. I can see that the images are uploading and are listed in the uploads folder when I check online. I can upload via URL without a problem, but I would much prefer to upload from the computer.

    I have included the start of a draft showing upload via URL and computer for reference.

    Address: https://www.edwardsfurniture.co.uk/wordpress
    Image Store: Default
    Plugins: None

    I have tried going back to the twenty-ten theme but the same issue arises.

    Is there something glaringly obvious that I have overlooked?

  • It is odd that you have a problem only with uploads from your computer. I don’t think I’ve ever seen anyone mention that problem.

    Where is that ‘draft’ that you mentioned?

    Meanwhile, try it from a different computer and browser.

    It is probably a good idea to reupload your WordPress core files– wp-admin and wp-includes would likely cover it.

    Also, you say that your ‘image store’ is ‘default’ but none of those images are serving from WordPress’s default location, which would be /wp-content/uploads/. Why is that?

    I have created another draft, as I finished the other post off that the image was shown in before.

    I cannot understand the error I am getting as we have another wordpress blog and I can upload images from the computer fine-all the settings are the same.

    It is creating the images in the uploads folder but for some reason is not showing them properly.

    I will upload the files you mention again-do I need to back anything up at all…I am not too familiar with wordpress..assume the major bits are all on a database though?

    Thanks for getting back to me.

    Uploading files shouldn’t damage your content but since something mysterious is obviously wrong it wouldn’t hurt to make a backup.

    Maybe this is your problem:

    Attempting to view that ‘white’ image at all results in a 403 error. Since you say that you’ve checked and that the image does actually upload I have to think that you have some security settings or redirect rules that are making the image directory inaccessible.

    The other image isn’t in the wp-content/uploads directory. Did you upload that via the media uploader or did you just hyperlink to it?

    I have just looked at the other wordpress blog permissions for the uploads folder and the ones on this one. They were indeed different, so I have altered the permissions on this one and the upload appears to now be working properly. Thank you so much for bringing this to my attention.

    Is there something I did wrong on install that caused this issue? Just so I know for next time.

    Thanks again.

    Is there something I did wrong on install that caused this issue?

    Probably not. Its a server configuration issue that WordPress itself has little to no control over.
