    Hi
    I have been using WP for some time and not had this problem before. When I upload some of my image files (jpg or png)to the media library some show as thumbnails other with just a generic lost link image. There seems to be no reason and I have re-installed WP and all databases from scratch. I have changed file permissions as suggested in some forums without joy.

    No plugins added to conflict so no idea.

    Help please anyone!! Can’t get on with site at present.

  • Check the permissions on your wp-content/uploads directory. Set it and all subdirectories to 777 and then try again.

    Tried it and no change. The file uploads but does not show in the media library.
    Any more ideas?

    When you say that the file uploads, did you FTP into wp-content/uploads/2015/07 and see the file?

    If so, open the media library and right click where the thumbnail should be and select “Properties” (or similar in your browser). Check the URL of the thumbnail and see if it’s correct.

    All sorted. It was the files and when I re-created them they worked ok. No idea what was wrong but thanks anyway.
