I recently moved my wordpress and theme from one folder to another within my server. All of the files and images work properly after the move. However, new images and thumbnails I upload do not appear in the library. Their information appears, but the thumbnail/ image area is blank.
Has anyone encountered this problem before?
Thanks

Are you sure you have changed the blog address and wordpress address. Go to your admin panel and go to settings. Make sure these values are updated to reflect the new location of your blog.

Thanks for the response.
Yes, everything in the settings reflects my new blog location. All of my images I had uploaded from the old location stayed in tact as well.
I will keep looking into it to try to find the answer. Thanks for any tips along the way

Interesting, without more information its hard to tell whats going wrong.
Could you post the link of your website so that I can have a look at what is going on?

You actually wouldn't be able to tell what is going on by looking at my website. The old images (thumbnails) transferred over well.
But feel free, creativepill.com
Also, the portfolio images these thumbnails like to have no tbeen uploaded yet - mainly due to this new uploading problem I have encountered.
I might have an answer to the problem by the end of the weekend. Will post that when I get it.

I'm guessing your old site was http://dontforgetaboutmysite.com/ The images on the homepage still point to the old site. I've had another thought go to http://creativepill.com/wp-admin/options.php You should get a long list of options. Check the upload_path option.

I had the opposite problem.
I followed the instructions in the Codex for moving WordPress but the images embedded in pages all broke.
Looking at the Page source code, it looks as though updating the settings doesn't update the source code.
I've had to go through the Page editor & hack all the paths to the images within it.

Just had that trouble (the one originally posted) the last few days. There are 2 solutions I've found.
Option 1. Go to your hosting service control panel, enter the phpMyAdmin and find the file designated for your wordpress blog.
Click on it and then wp_options, then browse tab.
Click through the pages (mine was on page 2) until you see upload_path in the option name column. Click on the pencil to edit
Edit to reflect your folder changes and hit Go.
Option 2. WordPress is actually recording the correct path but just can't upload the file correctly becuase of the above problem in option 1. If you can't do Option 1, then you can still upload it directly into the post/page (this will set the path) and then you ftp the actual file into the wp_content/uploads directory.
Definately option 1 is preferred. I obviously have too much time, not afraid to stuff things up or both to figure this out.

I'm having the same problem as the first poster. I recently consolidated to wordpress blogs, each with their own subdirectory (http://toomuchchocolate.org/interview and http://toomuchchocolate.org/gallery), into a single blog in the root folder. Instead of recrearting both, I imported the 'gallery' blog into the 'interview' blog, then brought the interview blog to "http://toomuchchocolate.org" by simply copying the index.php file into the root folder, and making my blog url "http://toomuchchocolate.org/", while keping the WordPress folder in the 'interview' subdirectory.
I'm running the newest wordpress, 2.7.1 I think, and I'm having the exact issue described. Images upload fine, I can see them before I insert into post, but then when I insert, they vanish. After they've been 'ghost uploaded' though I can go back in and manually tell wordpress to pull the image from the URL I uploaded to. So weird and annoying.
I've tried everything above. My uploads are going into wp-content/uploads, as is the upload path in my phpmyadmin folder. I tried putting interview/wp-content/uploads, but it didn't work. Any ideas???

jls548: instead of putting wp-content/uploads, try this:
/home/YOURHOSTINGUSERNAME/public_html/wp-content/uploads
It should fix your problem,
take care
