Images not appearing

You so totally owe me a large tea. ??

T

:)) Thanks! It was actually your last post that helped me find the problem!

I think that my .htaccess is the culprit also. I’ll see what my webhost (hostgator) says.

Hello

First I would like to say a great big thank you to everyone, those who are reading, those who will read and those who have helped and moved on.

My website is: https://www.tandooricookingexpert.com

I have the same problem. Images will not show. I have done the following:
1. cleared cache- no difference
2. deactivate all plugins- no difference
3. installed “WordPress to WordPress plugin”- no difference

My problem is that external images will show. For example:
https://www.tandooricookingexpert.com/blog/2010/09/25/another-try/

But any internal images will not show even when using the plugin. For example:
https://www.tandooricookingexpert.com/blog/2010/09/25/quickie-test/

I have google maps also and the map inmages will not show. Example:
https://www.tandooricookingexpert.com/google-dir/

I have read through the post and am a little afraid to mess with the .htaccess file in case i mess everything up.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Some quick troubleshooting shows as soon as I try to get to https://www.tandooricookingexpert.com/wp-content/blogs.dir/1/files/, which is the full server path to where the images are stored, then I get an error.

Check and see if there are any other folders above that level named “files”. Like https://www.tandooricookingexpert.com/wp-content/blogs.dir/1/files/https://www.tandooricookingexpert.com/files/ – look via cpanel or ftp.

If there *is* a folder there called that, it’s interfering.

Also check your htaccess file and make sure it has this line in it:

# uploaded files
RewriteRule ^([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)?files/(.+) wp-includes/ms-files.php?file=$2 [L]

Thank you for the quick reply.

I can find no files or folders with the names “files” above that heir achy. I looked via cPanel.

I can find no .htaccess file. I have looked using cPenel. There is no .htaccess file in the root directory. This is strange because my site redirects to wwww from non-www. It should not be hidden in cPanel.

Where does it normally be?

Sorry my fault in Cpanel it is not there. So i tried FileZilla FTP and it shows the htaccess file in the root directory of tandooricookingexpert.com.

There is already some code it is:
#uploaded files
RewriteRule ^(.*/)?files/$ index.php [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !.*wp-content/plugins.*
RewriteRule ^(.*/)?files/(.*) wp-content/blogs.php?file=$2 [L]

I have put the new code below this. Do i delete the old code or leave all of it? (Dont have a clue what it means).

There is no directory:
https://www.tandooricookingexpert.com/files

But this is the file path it show in the uploader? Very strange.

The file path of the file go.jpeg is:
tandooricookingexpert.com/wp-content/blogs.dir/1/files/2010/09/go.jpeg

This is no 404 error but just goes back to the home page.

Any help much appreciated.

Sorry forgot to say.

The exact file path in the uploader shows:
https://www.tandooricookingexpert.com/files/2010/09/go.jpeg

I can find no files or folders with the names “files” above that heir achy. I looked via cPanel.

Good, that’s what we want.

I can find no .htaccess file. I have looked using cPenel.

CPanel’s file manager can be set to NOT show hidden files. Considering you did see it via ftp, then it was a cpanel setting.

I have put the new code below this. Do i delete the old code or leave all of it? (Dont have a clue what it means).

The instructions stated to *replace* all the code in the htaccess file with the new rewrite rules it gave you. that’s your problem.

You have done it in. Your are a genius.

From my heart “may you prosper”.

In my case I had attempted to switch to WordPress multi-site and then gone back to single site. All my images in my case had moved to the main root directory in a file uploads in the wp-content file. Once I moved the uploads to where they was supposed to be (in my case domainname.com/wp) then my images showed up.
