Support » Fixing WordPress » Images not uploading

  • Images are not uploading. The uploader generates the url for the image, but the image is not there, just the name of the file. My uploader settings are correct. This started within the last couple of days.

  • Check your uploads path in Settings->Media. It should be blank in most installs.

    I have checked. It looks fine: STORE UPLOADS IN THIS FOLDER – box blank/default message:Default is wp-content/uploads
    FULL URL PATH TO FILES: Box is blank
    ORGANIZE MY UPLOADS INTO MONTH-AND YEAR-BASED FOLDERS: Box is checked

    Have you checked (using FTP) to see if the images are being uploaded?

    I don’t have FTP – but here’s the message I receive when I click EDIT IMAGE: Image data does not exist. Please re-upload the image.

    You need to check if the images are being uploaded using FTP or whatever file management application your host provides.

    I’m having the same problem. I just migrated a local site to the live server. Everything is working fine except for portfolio images. They’re not showing. They are, however, on the server. The URL’s are all correct.

    I just tried uploading new images via WordPress and they’re showing as broken links.

    It is perfectly fine with me that QuickBen entered the conversation. I need a solution by any means necessary. I have just found that I also cannot insert IMAGES THAT ALREADY EXIST into my posts. What’s going on?

    His issue is completely different. Have you checked yet to see if there are any images in your uploads folder?

    I have 67 images in my media library. I have always been able to upload images and insert them into my posts. Suddenly this is not working.

    Have you checked yet to see if there are any images in your uploads folder?

    I’m sorry – what is the uploads folder? Where do I find it so I can check it?

    I see what the uploads folder is…..how do I check it?

    Using FTP or whatever file management application your host provides.

    Theme Diva/Forum Moderator. I know many, many people in this space, like you, are REALLY tech savvy. However most of us are not at your level of expertise. Your repeated brief responses telling me “WHAT to do” but ignoring my requests for “HOW to do” might be expedient for you – but for us tech dummies – it doesn’t accomplish a damm thing!
