Media Library Not Showing Images

  • Hi

    I’ve just switched my website from localhost to server and it all seemed to go smoothly (or so i thought)
    For some reason now i can’t upload any images using the WP uploader. Its not showing any thumbnails for the shots in Media or anything. I’ve tried adding the images via FTP and linking to them on the pages and that seems to work but they wont show in media library.

    Have tried the obvious things like clearing the cache, fresh install of wp files etc but nothing seems to help. Running out of ideas now.

    Any suggestions?

    Cheers
    MJG

    Ok. Now that does sound strange! How are you checking the folder permissions? Is there a control panel that you can login to, that aloows you to view the folder permissions?

    Hi isometricshadow
    I login directly to the cpanel dashboard on the internet. From there I access the File manager and so on from there.
    and also the wordpress dashboard.

    Hi isometricshadow
    Thanks for endeavouring to help I really appreciated it.
    I have uninstalled and reinstalled wordpress and would you believe it. It seems to be working.
    Thanks Heaps

    The issue that Mungobee describes is the extra same issue I’m having now with a WordPress install I started a week ago. The images upload, they show in the “edit view” under the Image Library, but outside of the “edit view” I can’t see the images. Just get that little square icon using Chrome and in Firefox it’s just a text tile of the image.

    Very frustrating. Obviously there’s an issue with WordPress here with these images as it should be standard functionality. I’ve check the permissions on every applicable folder and they are all fine. I compared the permissions with another WordPress blog I’ve had for years for the same image folders and the permissions are all the same.

    Any suggestions that anyone has other than saying “re-install WordPress” would be appreciated.

    here’s the link to my site and you can see for yourself how all the images are showing.

    I meant to type “”exact same issue I’m having” above in the first line. Sorry for the typo.

    I noticed that this new Bootstrap theme I’m using for this new blog actually creates multiple files in the upload folder when I load an image. Images that are duplicates of the original upload image, except they are different sizes. Maybe this entire “duplicate” image process is too complicated for WordPress’s own good and it’s getting confused between the original image (the one I want and that actually shows under the Edit Image view) and the different sized duplicates.

    Anyhow, I’m going to keep at this until I figure out what’s going on as it continues to happen on every image file I upload. Very frustrating for such an everyday task such as uploading and pasting images in a page or post. Thanks for the help in advance. Appreciated.
