Image preview not showing

    Hi everyone,

    When I insert an image and later come back to edit it, the image preview doesn’t show up. It has the description of the image on the top left corner as well as a small question mark in the center of the empty image. It shows up fine in the blog, just the preview is not showing. Also when I link to that image on another page, it shows this message: “403 Forbidden. Server configuration does not allow access to this page.”

    This problem only occurred about a week ago. Just wondering if anyone else is experiencing the same problem and how you fixed it.

    Thanks in advance.

    Hi,

    Add this code in htaccess and have a check:

    <IfModule mod_security.c>
SecFilterEngine Off
SecFilterScanPOST Off
</IfModule>

    Thanks,

    Shane G.

    Thank you Shane for your answer.

    I have no clue where my htaccess is. Is that the same as the index.php? I inserted the above code into index.php but the image preview still doesn’t work.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

    .htaccess is a file that you might locate at the root of your domain at the server, on the same level as your wp-content, wp-includes, and wp-admin folders. You can find it using an FTP program like FileZilla, or by browsing files with your host’s File Manager.

    If you don’t already have an .htaccess file there you can create a new one and upload it to that location. Just create a new file with a text editor of your choice, paste in the code that Shane gave you, and save it as .htaccess.

    Opps I celebrated my joy too early.

    I created the .htaccess as Shane suggested in Explorer and I could see the image previews. However when I went back to Safari and Firefox, the same problem occurred.
