Starting today all the images within wp-content/uploads/ fail to load on my site marquettetribune.org.
Nothing has been changed in the last few days, not even a post has been added. In the source code, the images link to the correct location and I have verified that all the image exist and are not corrupted. I also use thickbox and the dynamic content gallery plugins and none of the images load for those either.
Also whenever I try to link directly to an image, ie http://marquettetribune.org/files/2011/05/itstime-online-emily-300x199.png, it produces a 404 error.
I am not familiar with .htaccess at all but I have done some research on this so far and I believe my .htaccess file is as it should be. I use a custom permalink structure but I don't believe that should affect the uploads/file redirect structure.
Below is a my .htaccess file minus the the cache plugin section.
# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>
# END WordPress
Any help would be greatly appreciated, this issue seems to be way over my head.
