    Hi all, I was using cutenewsru CMS but i transferred to wordpress.

    I had 1000 topics on my db and every post has a picture, too.

    When i uploaded my pictures to wp-content/uploads via ftp, i cannot see my pictures on wordpress imageuploader GALLERY PART.

    Is there any possibility of making pictures visible on gallery screen?

    They are very important because of thumbnails for similar topics.

    Thanks for your help.

  • Hi,

    Check with these options:

    -> Assign 755 recursive permissions to wp-content folder.
    -> Upgrade your wordpress to the latest version.
    -> Add this code in htaccess of your blog:

    <IfModule mod_security.c>
SecFilterEngine Off
SecFilterScanPOST Off
</IfModule>

    Thanks,

    Shane G.

    make sure you are pointing correctly in
    admin – settings – miscellaneous

    I might be mistaken….but I thought a plugin like this was necessary when pics were uploaded via FTP?

    i applied your options but no success.

    This is a jpg file i uploaded to my wp-content/uploads VIA FTP (manually)

    this is NOT seen on GALLERY SCREEN of imageuploader

    This is another jpg file i uploaded to wp-content/uploads BY IMAGEUPLOADER OF WORDPRESS

    Maybe imageuploader sends some id to db when saving it to the folder /uploads then my MANUALLY UPLOADED files won’t be seen… This is just an imagination…

    What might hinder them to be seen? I was using TINYMCE image function with CUTENEWSRU it showed me any file either uploaded via ftp or via tinymce uploader…

    I also use Tinymce ADVANCED plugin but its image upload function is not working… when i click on insert page disappears…

    Any other solution?

    The reason it’s NOT seen is probably because there isn’t a thumbnail image created since you uploaded it manually.

    When you upload an image via the WP image upload feature, it creates a thumbnail of the image, and I believe it needs that in order for the image to show up. Go into your ftp and look at the difference with the image you uploaded manually, vs the one you uploaded through the image loader. You should see not just one image, but also thumbnails WP image software created.

    this works great… now i can see the files but i imported many times which made many copies:(

    So are you now able to see the images?

    Yes i can see images… As you mentioned what it does is to create thumbs for manually added images…

    Now my problem is a better image gallery which will show me 25 image thumbs on a page… I have many many pictures and it’s very hard to find it… search cannot give me a good result because every image wasn’t named…

    any idea for a gallery view image browsing?

    Hi Okuogren,
    Sounds like you’ve made some good progress, since the thumbnails are now being created so the images are viewable.

    I haven’t used any of the image plugins, so someone else here may be able to offer you some suggestions for a gallery plugin.

    this plug is great because you dont need to keep it active always… once you have imported the images thats all… deactivate and go on…

    Sounds like a good plugin for that purpose. Don’t forget to mark your thread as ‘Resolved’ if things are working now. ??
