Can’t load images with a direct link

  • Hey everyone,
    I extracted all the links from my image folder (of a plugin) in WP, but when I try to open those images directly in the browser, I get a 404 error within WordPress..
    Is there anything I have to do to be able to use the direct links of those images?
    Any plugin I can use the manage this?

    I also have SSH access to the hosting, and I tried setting the folder’s permission to 0744 (recursively) but it didn’t help.

    Any ideas? The folder is within the “uploads” folder.

  • If the images are within the uploads folders, you should be able to access the images directly. 404 means that the file was not found. It’s not a permission issue. If it was a permissions issue, you would have got a 403. Since you have SSH access, could you just go to your uploads folder and check one of the images to see if it actually exists where it is supposed to? Also maybe you should check if your image URL has some extra/unnecessary characters or terms? Checking one image URL should be enough to help you identify the problem. your image URL should look like this:

    https://yourdomain.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/imagefile.png

    Hope this helps ??
