   After upgrading from 3.0 to 3.3, the previously uploaded images ceased to function. Instead, broken images were displayed in their place. Inspecting the links and following them directly led to the WP-generated 404 page.

   However, the files all exist in the paths given (e.g. /wp-content/uploads/2011/07/somefile.png)

   Uploading new images likewise does not work. It places a file in the uploads directory, and creates the thumbnails, but the image does not display, either in the frontend or in the media library in the backend.

   I have been searching for a while, and tried many of the suggested fixes for this (or similar) problems, none of which solved this issue:
   chmod the uploads directory to 777 and recurse through subdirectories
   edit the files line in the .htaccess file - tried several configurations, none worked
   comment out the files line in the .htaccess file
   edit the wp-includes/ms-files.php file (adding double quotes to headers, adding ob_clean()) - neither worked, felt real dirty making changes to the core, reverted
   upgrade to 3.3.1

   Been googling for quite a while now, and searching blogs and these forums... still no luck.

   Currently hosted on a server running debian Apache 2.2.16 & php5.3
   However, the same problem exists on my local sandbox (using MAMP on port 80)

   Unfortunately, I can't share a link to the site. Hopefully this is enough to at least get some ideas on where to go next.

   Thanks for your time!

   Try working through the solutions listed in http://wordpress.org/support/topic/troubleshooting-wordpress-33-master-list

   That was one of the first places I looked, and was not able to glean any relevant information from there. Perhaps I missed something... Can you point out a specific part of the master list that you feel applies to my problem?

   Or are you just telling me to RTFM because you think I didn't try to solve my own problem first?

   I have also read through the 3.1 and 3.2 master lists...

   After additional digging, I once again network disabled all of my plugins...

   and my images worked once more.

   I re-activated the plugins one-by-one, hoping to find which one was causing this problem.

   ...none of them were. All of the plugins are now activated again, and my images are still working (for now).

   I guess this topic can be closed. But the mystery lives on!

   Correction!

   This solved the problem on my local sandbox...

   but the development version on the server is still experiencing this issue...

   Ok, re-correction.

   I de-activated and re-activated all of the plugins. This did NOT fix my problem.

   I tried it one more time, this time activating them in batches of 2 and 3. This time DID fix my problem.

   I'm really at a loss here. Not sure WHAT this could possibly be affecting.

   However, I guess I was right the first time. Problem resolved. ...for now.

   No! Deactivate all plugins and then test the site with no plugins active.

   That was what I meant.

   I de-activated them and tested, found the problem to be fixed, then re-activated and tested one by one until I could determine which plugin was breaking this functionality.

   When I had re-activated and tested all the plugins, I found the problem to still be fixed... somehow. Seriously strange behavior.
