OK, thanks James!

I saw the layout of generated avatars in the “Discuss” section of the dashboard. I seem to recall that being on the profile page to let users choose an avatar generator but have been unable to find it. Oh well, all in good time I am sure it will appear again.

Thank you again James!

Yes James but I forgot what. It helps just knowing that Gravitar is the only choice built in to WordPress.

I will look around at old plugins to see where it might have come from. Thank you kind sir!

Thank you Jackie for your patience and your help. You have made my visit here to the WordPress Forum a good one. You are the GREATEST!!!

I’m sorry windo31. I have no idea. I was indeed blessed to discover and resolve my issue. The only thing I can think of is to try reinstalling WordPress from the Dashboard/updates.

I wish you well windo31.

OK, I see you resolved it. Congratulations windo31!!!

windo31, I found the problem with my Media Library not rendering images. The solution may not work for you because as you said, there are so many variables. If you go to the link in my post above, you can read my solution.

Of all places, it was in my .htaccess file on my server. That is why the main directory WP program did not work but the sub-directory WP program did work and why it did not matter which template I used.

I hope it works for you. To speed things up, let me tell you that I renamed my .htaccess file then created a new one. I added blocks of info slowly from the old file to the new one and it worked until I added the bad line. That is how I narrowed it down to resolve the issue.

I am a very happy camper now ??

RESOLVED:

Wow, totally by accident and poking around, we discovered the problem. Unbelievable! The logs showed plenty of errors with the template but again the images would not render even with other images added. Again, Hostgator tech support said it was a WordPress problem. But the problem was discovered in my .htaccess file on the server. Only one rewrite line was the problem. I do not understand the syntax but when I commented out this one line, all my Media Library images miraculously appeared. I cannot tell you how happy I was to see them all display correctly. I tested uploading new images and they all worked perfectly. Amazing! OK, the faulty line in my .htaccess file was:
**************
RewriteRule ^.*\/([^\d\/]+)\/([0-9]+)\/([0-9]+)\/.*..*$ ?$1$3=$2&%{QUERY_STRING}[L]
**************
When I commented it out by simply placing a hash mark and a space before it, everything was fixed. Now it reads as:
**************
# RewriteRule ^.*\/([^\d\/]+)\/([0-9]+)\/([0-9]+)\/.*..*$ ?$1$3=$2&%{QUERY_STRING}[L]
**************
I have never learned Regular Expressions and have no idea what that line means. Hopefully commenting it out will not create problems elsewhere. If anyone knowing Regular Expression syntax understands and sees an error there, please let me know.

I am one happy camper. Thank you all for your help. This forum is very supportive. Special thanks to Jackie for putting up with me. Cheers!!!

OK, I am STILL learning ??

I will post new topic and then share link here.

I usually DO read all the rules but my eyes are bloodshot and my brain is frazzeled from all the TOS’s I read.

Thank you for your kindness.

OK, I have made a NEW post here: https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/media-library-only-displays-blank-placeholder?replies=1

Jackie, you can delete my prior (inappropiate) post in this thread and thank you.

Thank you Jackie and windo31! I hope we all get our problems fixed!

I have same problem. WordPress 4.5.3 Images not displaying in Media Library are template independent. Strange thing is it all works in a subdomain but not in the main domain. Subdomain has same version of WP and template. The template however is old and no longer developed. Still the issue occurs in the “TwentyFour” template also.

If when in Media Library, I go to edit image mode, the image displays. Otherwise it is a blank placeholder. Three images do display properly however. The drag & drop feature did not display properly. I uploaded 3 images individually and they are showing fine. Subsequent uploads all just give blank placeholders.

I do not know what is being refered to below as depreciated or how to fix it. Hostgator says it is a WordPress issue.

Error in functions.php file refers to depreciated function.

* @since 4.3.0
*
* @param bool $trigger Whether to trigger the error for deprecated functions. Default true.
*/
if ( WP_DEBUG && apply_filters( ‘deprecated_constructor_trigger_error’, true ) ) {
if ( function_exists( ‘__’ ) ) {
if ( ! empty( $parent_class ) ) {
/* translators: 1: PHP class name, 2: PHP parent class name, 3: version number, 4: __construct() method */
trigger_error( sprintf( __( ‘The called constructor method for %1$s in %2$s is deprecated since version %3$s! Use %4$s instead.’ ),
$class, $parent_class, $version, ‘

__construct()

‘ ) );
} else {
/* translators: 1: PHP class name, 2: version number, 3: __construct() method */
trigger_error( sprintf( __( ‘The called constructor method for %1$s is deprecated since version %2$s! Use %3$s instead.’ ),
$class, $version, ‘

__construct()

‘ ) );
}
} else {
if ( ! empty( $parent_class ) ) {
trigger_error( sprintf( ‘The called constructor method for %1$s in %2$s is deprecated since version %3$s! Use %4$s instead.’,
$class, $parent_class, $version, ‘

__construct()

‘ ) );
} else {
trigger_error( sprintf( ‘The called constructor method for %1$s is deprecated since version %2$s! Use %3$s instead.’,
$class, $version, ‘

__construct()

‘ ) );

Thank you alphaalec, that fixed it.

Hi Dave,

Thanks for your response. I know that image files are not backed up directly. My reference to image files not being uploaded was within the zip files. Sorry I was not clear about that. The zip file only had one image out of about 100.

Here is last log of UpDraft Backup:

Hello Nicole. Sorry, sounds like a change in the “bill” template is necessary. That is beyond me. Thought I could help but I cannot.

One German ecommerce program I LOVE but cannot get it to work for me in the US is https://www.oxid-esales.com/en/home.html

Their Community Edition is free. You might want to take a peek for future reference: https://www.oxid-esales.com/en/community/download-oxid-eshop.html

It is pretty feature rich right out of the box. I am sure it meets all the German requirements too.

Cheers!

In WP-Admin panel =>
Woo Commerce =>

General Options =>
Currency

Choose any number of our worlds currencies including the Euro €.
No need to purchase a “German” version of Woo Commerce.

Make sure you have the correct country chosen in the woo commerce settings. Also set your taxes, shipping, emails, etc. back there. You should be good to go.

Cheers,

Thank you for all your help here. I changed my default “Blog” tab to “Home” in the header.php of my BlueMemories theme. It was at the very bottom in a nav div. Copy below:

<div class="nav"> <ul> <li class="<?php if ( is_home()) { ?>current_page_item<?php } else { ?>page_item<?php } ?>"><a href="<?php echo get_settings('home'); ?>">Home</a></li> <?php wp_list_pages("title_li=&depth=1&sort_column=menu_order");?></ul> </div>

The “Home” that was changed from “Blog” to “Home” is the third one listed in the code snippet above right before the end hyperlink </a> tab.

Hope this helps someone else!!!
