Suddenly can't see images on LAN (the rest: OK)

  • Hi, I’m running a local install of WP on a mac using MySQLWorkbench. For weeks I’ve been able to see formatting and database images on both the host computer and local computers on the LAN. Suddenly on local devices only (not the host mac), everything loads except database images, including ones in newly made posts. Non-database images I’ve incorporated show fine.

    Naturally I’ve had my WordPress Address and site address set to my local IP (http//192.168.1.230). I’ve switched themes, restarted web sharing, repaired permissions, stopped/started the MySQL server, searched high and low. Thanks for any sage advice.

    Ha! I solved it. Somehow permissions to my root wordpress folder were changed to deny access. Perhaps this may have occurred after installing an update to a widget. I ran this in terminal:

    cd /Users/yourusername/Sites/
    sudo chown -R _www wordpress
    sudo chmod -R g+w wordpress
