    I have a theme which uses timthumb to show up the thumbnails. As per suggestions in various other threads , i tried to give the cache folder as well as files inside it 777 permissions. But that doesnt seem to resolve the problem?
    Does anyone know what to do?

    Can you provide a link to your site with the problem? Sometimes the generated error message can explain what’s going on.

    When the <img src= tag references the timthumb generated image you don’t see the error message you just see a failed image load.

    I’ve just tried to visit that web site and it looks the web server is slow to respond and when it does respond eventually sends a 500 Internal Server Error response.

    $ curl -I https://www.wikipetro.org/

    Try the usual troubleshooting steps.

    Have you tried:

    – deactivating all plugins to see if this resolves the problem. If this works, re-activate the plugins one by one until you find the problematic plugin(s).

    – switching to the Twenty Eleven theme to rule out any theme-specific problems.

    – resetting the plugins folder by FTP or PhpMyAdmin. Sometimes, an apparently inactive plugin can still cause problems.

    – re-uploading the wp-admin and wp-includes folders from a fresh download of WordPress.

    The website is up now. Tried deactivating and reactivating all plugins, but nothing seems to work. I tried to find the link of the image and then clicking on it, it gave the following error:

    A TimThumb error has occured
    The following error(s) occured:

    * Could not find the internal image you specified.

    Query String : src=https://www.wikipetro.org/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/logo.png
    TimThumb version : 2.8.2

    When i open the image manually it opens very well, but seem timthumb is not able to find it

    The image exist but I think what may be messing up TimThumb is that the free host you are using appends a script to the data being sent.

    At the end of each HTML this is appended.

    <!-- Free Web Hosting Area Start -->
<script type="text/javascript" src="https://user23.freewebhostingarea.com/a/l3p.js"></script>
<noscript><br><center><font color='#000000' face='Verdana' style='font-size: 11px; background-color:#FFFFFF'><a target='_blank' href='https://www.freewebhostingarea.com'><font color='#000000'>Free Web Hosting</font></a></font></center></noscript>
<!-- Free Web Hosting Area End -->

    For PNG files it seems like they’re not appending that (which is good because that would break the images). I think that the Timthumb request is getting that appended too and it’s breaking it.

    Or it maybe something else; ask your hosting company.
