[Plugin: timthumb] TimThumb for directories with tilde (~)

  • Hi there. I’ve been scratching my head a number of times with this timthumb issue.

    I have a theme that incorporates timthumb under this URL:
    https://69.194.225.83/~davaobas/wp-content/themes/Exciter/thumb.php

    However, when I generate thumbnails for my images, say:
    https://69.194.225.83/~davaobas/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/Pisay-run.jpg

    … I try to use this timthumb URL:
    https://69.194.225.83/~davaobas/wp-content/themes/Exciter/thumb.php?src=https://69.194.225.83/~davaobas/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/Pisay-run.jpg&w=638&h=300

    … but what I get is this error message:

    file not found ~davaobas/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/Pisay-run.jpg
    TimThumb version : 1.14

    I suspect this is because of my directory containing a tilde symbol (~). Is this accurate? How do I bypass / solve this dilemma?

    P.S. I choose not to change my directory name, so I’m not considering this as an option.
