Theme Images not showing (MAMP)

    Hi everybody!

    I’ve been 3 days trying to solve this problem but I can’t figure out what the problem is. I’m using a Mac computer and MAMP to learn about WordPress locally.

    When I install a theme, the images of the theme are not loading. When I look at the wp-content/themes , the images of the theme are not in the images folder in most of the cases and even when the images are there, WordPress is not showing the theme images.

    I’ve tried installing previous WordPress versions but the problem continues.

    I don’t know if it is a permissions problem or if I didn’t installed WordPress properly. I followed different tutorials and I installed wordpress and MAMP quite a few times, I’m desperate and for that reason I’m writing this post.

    I will really appreciate your help.

    Hi Ralfillo,

    A few questions:
    – What is the adres of your localhost that you use to visit the WordPress install?
    – When you inspect a not working image, what path is visible ?
    – Does the CSS code of your theme loads without any problems?
    – What theme are you using/ is it a child-theme?

    Hi Richard,

    Thanks for your quick answer.

    The localhost address for the installation is http://localhost:8888/wp-admin/setup-config.php

    I don’t know how to find the path in the middle of the code, sorry.

    Yes the CSS code loads without any problems.

    It’s not a child theme.

    Thanks Richard, I don’t know what to do yet to solve the problem.

    When you add the following code in your wp-config file, does that make a difference?

    define('WP_HOME','http://localhost:8888');
define('WP_SITEURL','http://localhost:8888');

    Thanks for your help I added the code lines that you told me.

    After that I tried to check different themes to try and I can see that in some themes everything is ok but in other ones the preview is totally different from the thumbnail preview is this normal?

    Next I attach different screenshots for you to see what i mean.
