Can't view images within WordPress. Full URL works

  • OK, I’m stumped on this one.

    I went to Media and added 2 new files. The files show up on the screen and I can see the thumbnail of the images. If I take the File URL and paste it into a browser, I can see the image just fine.
    https://www.oakbrookconnect.org/wp-content/uploads/Summer_Bonus_Bag_WEBAD.jpg

    However, if I click on the image in the Media Library and then click on the thumbnail to bring up the page such as:
    https://www.oakbrookconnect.org/?attachment_id=1111

    It doesn’t show the image.

    All my older images work fine. Just the two from today don’t work.

    Also in the slideshow I have on my home page, that image doesn’t show up there either. (3rd slide)

    I tried deleting the file and uploading it again but it didn’t help.

    No idea what the problem is. Any suggestions?

  • Check your uploads path in Settings->Media. It should be blank in most installs.

    It is blank. We haven’t changed anything on the site as far as settings go. It just decided it doesn’t want to work for some reason. Really at a loss here.

    What is in your .htaccess file?

    Well, very strange.
    I clicked the Edit button to edit the image. I then clicked to change the Scaling settings. I made it 1 pixels smaller and clicked Save and then the image decided to show up. I then made it 1 pixel bigger (back to the original size) and now it shows up fine within the ?attachment page. Of course it’s a tad blurry now though.

    However, it still doesn’t show up in my slideshow on our home page at https://www.oakbrookconnect.org (3rd slide).

    Must be something with the image itself that WordPress just didn’t like and it reformatted it when I changed the size. No idea what it could be though. Any ideas on why the slideshow doesn’t like it? Just a plain, old, jpg.

    One way to confirm this would be to re-upload one of your older images and see if it still “behaves itself”. If it does, then the problem is likely to be image specific.

    Bah, forget it. I just took the original from my email and resized it and reuploaded it and started it all over (even though I had also done that yesterday) and now it decided to take the resize.

    Stupid program. Ah well.
