 * Can someone please help
    Images on my posts display fine until clicked on. When
   I click on individual images I get 404 error.
 * I have tried to deactivate all my plugins, changed themes and changed permalinks
   settings. Nothing seems to be working.

 * *sigh* And that’s all it should say – which is no help at all.
 * I am totally stumped as to where this extra `\` is coming from. I suspect it’s
   part of the problem that is resulting in these 404s.
 * Can you please describe _exactly_ the process you use to insert an image – with
   its link – into a Post or Page.

 * [@esmi](https://wordpress.org/support/users/esmi/): Trailing slashes in the URL
   are normal when the images in question are linked to their _attachment pages_(
   rather than the image files themselves), so I don’t think they’re the problem
   here, I think the images are simply linked to those pages.
 * What I _do_ think might be the problem is the use of lowercase vs. uppercase 
   letters in the URLs; on many servers, lowercase and uppercase are not equivalent,
   and thus, would not point to the same URLs.
 * If that is what’s going wrong here, then for the image named IMG_9190, the correct
   attachment page URL would be `http://www.pureweddingblog.com/IMG_9190/` not `
   http://www.pureweddingblog.com/img_9190/`
 * But with the plain permalinks in place, we can’t test that theory, so if [@asipaballo](https://wordpress.org/support/users/asipaballo/)
   can switch them back to whatever they were before, then we _can_ test it to see
   if I’m on the right track or not.

 * Okay, I was wrong. DARN IT, so close!
 * [@asipaballo](https://wordpress.org/support/users/asipaballo/) please keep the
   pretty permalinks in place and I’ll see if I can come up with a better idea now.

 * [@girlieworks](https://wordpress.org/support/users/girlieworks/): It was a nice
   idea, though. 🙂
 * [@asipaballo](https://wordpress.org/support/users/asipaballo/):
 * > dashboard-media-add new, nothing else
 * That explains how you upload them but how to add the smaller images to each post
   and how do you ensure that they are each linking to their full size image?

 * [9 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/404-image-error/page/2/#post-7490056)
 * Okay, I was pretty close, but I forgot about one thing: the attachment page URLs
   will include a reference to the post to which the image is attached (if it is,
   in fact, attached to one).
 * So, [@asipaballo](https://wordpress.org/support/users/asipaballo/), THIS is the
   correct URL to which that `IMG_9190` image should be linked (if you want it to
   link to the image’s attachment page, that is):
 * [http://www.pureweddingblog.com/effortless-xhosa-bride-and-groom/img_9190/](http://www.pureweddingblog.com/effortless-xhosa-bride-and-groom/img_9190/)
 * As you can see if you click it, no 404 error.
 * (And you don’t have to worry about the uppercase/lowercase thing, because it 
   apparently doesn’t matter on your server).

   that post and insert one of the same images again (making sure “Attachment Page”
   is selected in the “Link to” field), and save the post, does the new copy of 
   the image you just added link to the correct URL? Or does it end up linking to
   the wrong URL, too?
