Unable to view uploaded pictures on wordpress website?

  • Hi Everybody!

    I’ve uploaded a wordpress site that i developed locally on WAMP and then i uploaded it to a server. The websites URL is https://www.energyworkforce.net

    When i tested it locally, it worked fine. But when i transferred it to the webhosts root folder, it all appeared fine until i viewed the page live. All the pics are not there.

    I checked the root directory on the server to see if there were any files i missed out particularly the wp-content folder (in the webhost’s server) and i found a folder called uploads. Inside the uploads folder there was folder named 2008 and then another folder called 12.

    All the images are in there. So i don’t know what is really wrong?

    I thought maybe i’d have to use WordPress’s dashboard (live) and then insert the images again. For testing purposes i edited a page and tried to insert an image and this is the error i got on the WordPress Dashboard:

    Unable to create directory C:\wamp\www\energyworkforce/wp-content/uploads/2008/12. Is its parent directory writable by the server?

    How can i rectify this?

    Thank you so much,
    Jaysone

  • Probably have to change your location of images in settings->miscellaneous.

    It thinks you are working on windows pc given the C:\ etc. And guessing your server is not windows.

    You need to correct location first and probably re-upload each image if it doesnt correct itself after updating image location.
