Media Library not showing all Images

Note: I simply copied these images to my /upload directory via FTP.

And there is almost certainly the root cause of your problem. You need to upload the images via WordPress.

Why would that be? All files are in the same /uploads/2009/04 directory. I wouldn’t think WordPress would distinguish between what was uploaded and what was FTP’d.

On my other server (another blog on another server) I see all the files.

Until you upload them via WordPress they won’t be in its database.

that is not correct. I have twenty files in the uploads/ directories. Five of the images in that directory that I CANNOT see from the admin panel (Media Library) are being used in the pages and posts . so how come? they must be in the db

In which SQL tables are images listed?

Why would that be? All files are in the same /uploads/2009/04 directory. I wouldn’t think WordPress would distinguish between what was uploaded and what was FTP’d.

I have the exact same problem. In the same folder but ones I FTP’d won’t show up in the Media Library. Will someone please tell me how to solve this.

Probably problem with permissions. Check if all images have same.
