Featured Photo Not displaying

i have the same problem.
i installed the plugin recently. from the beginning the post thumbnails have not been shown – neiter in the draft nor in the test email i sent to myself.
i checked the image url which is correct, but trying to open it by entering the url directly in the browser address field throws a 403 error.
is there a problem with the chmod settings maybe? i tried to set them manually from 710 to 755 but to no avail.

If you have a 403 error that could be an hotlinking protection active in your server. Check it with the provider.

Actually, I think I just “figured it out.” When I duplicated the template, the default of “show image” in the editing portion of each of the fields I dragged and dropped, reverted to NO. I changed it and the featured photos displayed.

There was just a plugin update, so either they fixed it, or it was as simple as selecting the show image option.

Hopefully this fixed your problem as well @pigsound

dear jamesmillerlifeology, thanks for the description how you solved the problem – sadly this did not work for me. in my settings, “show image” is active ok but the images are replaced by placeholders and the symbol for a broken file link. i am using the latest version of the newsletter plugin and wordpress.
as stefano lissa adviced, i contacted my provider for checking the server settings on hotlinking protection. i am still waiting for his answer.

update:
my provider informed me that they don’t have any hotlinking protection active. also i don’t have activated it myself through any htaccess file.
the reason for the failure of showing post thumbnails therefore remains unclear.

PROBLEM SOLVED:
it was caused by wrongly set rights for the content directory, which was set th chmod 710. my server host set it to 750 and now the images are shown properly.
