Images uploading but not showing in localhost

    Hi Guys,

    I am running a local version of my site on WAMP. All images that I had on my site prior to transferring it to the localhost are still there but when I attempt to upload a new image the image uploads (the loading bar goes from 0-100%) but the thumbnail is blank.

    I am using the media upload to upload images – is there something else I need to do as I’m using a local installation?

    I’ve had a look at a few forums for this already – but can’t seem to find anything that is specifically my problem?!

    Thanks in advance,

    Rose

  • Suggest that you add this to your wp-config.php file:
    define('FS_METHOD', 'direct');
    It may also be that your webserver does not have permissions to write to your directories.
    Look in your apache logs file, on my ubuntu system this is in:
    /var/log/apache2/
    where there is error.log, also access.log and others, you may/should see some error here.

    Thanks – tried that and didn’t work.

    Also, have changed permissions on files to 775.

    There was nothing logged in the error log

    Any other suggestions?

    Thanks again…

    Did you also set directories to 775 ?
    Need to be able to write to directories to create directories and files.

    Hi Ross – yes directories set to 775 too.

    To actually get the images on my local install I’ve been uploading via media library on my live site, then downloading the uploads folder to my local install. This doesn’t actually get the file on my local media library but the image will then upload via local media library.

    I’m not well versed in WAMP, but did you check the folder permissions also? Though I would suspect you would be getting errors in the log if this was the case.
