Hey guys, sorry to hijack this thread, I figured @bgd221 is having this same exact problem, so perhaps we can both benefit from a solution.
I’m seeing the same thing, I updated yesterday to 3.5.1, and I’m not sure what happened, but the thumbnails disappeared. I checked with support from my theme provider team (elegant themes), and they pointed me to this: https://www.agentwp.com/fix-thumbnails-not-working-in-a-wordpress-theme-from-elegant-themes
Which I followed, and the only change that I’m thinking may have affected things, is that I went to Media Settings, and I change the path from the full absolute path (home1/username/public_html/blog/wp-content/uploads to just wp-content/uploads. Of course, when I clicked save, that whole option disappeared altogether.
However, here’s the interesting part. When I go to my blog (which is at https://blog.foreignkid.net), the thumbnails are missing. If I look at the source location of the thumbnails, I can see that it’s something like this:
https://blog.foreignkid.net/wp-content/uploads/et_temp/DropboxLogo.png?resize=292%2C288-84×84.png?resize=292%2c288
When I click on that link, I get page not found. However, if I navigate to one level up. That is:
https://blog.foreignkid.net/wp-content/uploads/et_temp and then click on that file, the image displays without any problems.
This seems to be happening to all images.
I checked the permissions on those images, and some of them are 755 and others are 644. that could be because I had set perms to 755 on wp-content/uploads (chmod -R 755 uploads), however, in that case, I would’ve expected all images to have these permissions.
In any case, the behavior is still pretty curious regardless.
Any thoughts as to what may be going on, and how to fix this?
Is this theme related? WordPress 3.5.1 related? …
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
