Hi
I've just switched my website from localhost to server and it all seemed to go smoothly (or so i thought)
For some reason now i can't upload any images using the WP uploader. Its not showing any thumbnails for the shots in Media or anything. I've tried adding the images via FTP and linking to them on the pages and that seems to work but they wont show in media library.
Have tried the obvious things like clearing the cache, fresh install of wp files etc but nothing seems to help. Running out of ideas now.
Any suggestions?
Cheers

I'm having the exact same problem. It all worked (and still does) fine on my localhost, but WordPress on a remote server will upload/crunch ... but then no thumbnail appears in the Media Library. Attached to a post doesn't work either ... but strangely, when I choose to edit the item, it appears ... but only when I click edit. FTP shows me the image, so it does upload. There just seems to be something broke in the upload process.
Did you solve this problem?

Hi,
Same here, i can upload my images, but they do not show up in the library except for a little question mark ?

I actually sorted this problem for myself. It maybe not solve yours, but it was a permissions problem with the folders I copied over to the remote server. The permissions need to be set to 755 ... so I changed the folder permissions to 755, and it solved my problem. Good luck!

The path to the uploaded files folders is:
wp-content/uploads/
... if you are using Dreamweaver (or another FTP application) ... you should be able to set/change the permissions by getting the properties of each folder.
You'll need to set the permissions for each folder (including the uploads folder) that you added/FTP'd to the remote site. Any folders created by WordPress will automatically set the permissions to 755.

wp-content/uploads folder as well as the folders within are changed to 755.
it is not working.
I have bought a "zeus" theme (you can see it on http://www.soundfountain.co.uk)
The instructions I got from them is to set the permissions for the following folders to
777 and if that doesn't work I should try ( 775 or 755 )
theme-folder/framework/cache
theme-folder/framework/temp
I have tried all options but nothing works ?
I am lost :(
