Uploaded images are broken links and don't display

  • You can see the broken link on the homepage:
    https://www.mendezfamilydaycare.com/

    Every image I upload shows up in media as a broken link even though I am sure the uploads are not the issue.

    I’ve checked the permissions for the uploaded images in my ftp client (although I have uploaded the images through wordpress, since the one I upload manually don’t seem to show up in the ‘media’ area) and they are 644. The directory permissions are 755.
    Not sure what my issue is….

    Is it that I need to globally change all the permissions for uploading files to 755? if so how do I do that?

    Thank you for any help, this is a great community and I appreciate any assistance.

    Best,

    Brendan

    p.s. I uncheck the ‘organize files by year and date’ and that doesn’s seem to be helping either. totally stumped ??

  • The missing image from your home page is returning a 404, which means the path is wrong. This is what the site is trying to show me:

    https://www.mendezfamilydaycare.com/wp-content/uploads/placeholder_j-300×187.jpg

    however that doesn’t exist. Check the correct path to that file.

    Also, on your about page, you have a few [image] entires. They look like shortcodes from a non-active plugin, or are they just your own placeholders?

    Hello MendezDayCare,
    You create folder like uploads>2014>01 and put the image here then check..
    your image is getting correct path or not??

    Afternoon (just), I am having the same problem when uploading images but this only just happened in the last week (or sine the latest update to 3.8)
    I have not done anything different to before but just got broken links icons, tried a different edit program and even retook the images just in case but I am still having no luck.
    I have been doing this for so long I am giving myself a migraine, so as what has been typed before this comment makes no sense to me ( as I dont know code or anything really whizzy and clever behind the scenes) I just have a wee blog and an ecommerce template, can you explain or advise in simpleton speak for me, thank you in advance, Pam.

    Hi All,

    Thank you for your comments.

    I am still having issues ??

    So every image I upload shows as a broken link. I have unchecked the organize settings>media>rganize my uploads into month- and year-based folders checkbox.

    here’s what I am seeing in my media library:
    https://www.dropbox.com/s/su8cz2a13swzosr/media.png

    I am suspecting this is a permissions issue, but I have no idea where/how to globally correct it. Is this an issue 3.8 has?

    Thanks again. REALLY appreciate your time and help on this.

    ps @wpranger the “[image]” is just text I wrote in there to remind myself an image goes there.

    Thanks for the support. Here’s what the issue was.
    in media settings, the upload location and full url settings needed to be blank (which is the default) AND the .htaccess file was wrong. ARG!!!

    Here’s what it contained:
    <Files *.php>
    deny from all
    </Files><Files *.css.php>
    allow from all
    </Files>

    I removed the bit about the .css.php to make it:
    <Files *.php>
    deny from all
    </Files>

    and …. finally…. I no longer have broken links. Thank god!! So frustrating!

    Thank you all again for your time and help getting to the solution. much appreciated. Hope this can help some other poor soul. Ha!
