Title: Image not uploading Last modified: August 20, 2016 --- # Image not uploading * Resolved [luthienarfeiniel](https://wordpress.org/support/users/luthienarfeiniel/) * (@luthienarfeiniel) * [13 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/image-not-uploading-2/) * I’ve been trying to upload images on my blog, but nothing seems to be happening. It does upload, as I see it loading, but then there just doesn’t seem to be an image. It give the broken image in the thumbnail, and when I go to edit or view, there’s just nothing there. I deactivated my plugins and reinstalled the newest version of wordpress (3.5.1). I still have the same problem. Any ideas anyone?

It’s in the correct folder, file and all. But when I type in the address of where the image should be, it just says it doesn’t exists. Image should be here: [http://www.luthien.org/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/quote.jpg](http://www.luthien.org/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/quote.jpg) * [esmi](https://wordpress.org/support/users/esmi/) * (@esmi) * [13 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/image-not-uploading-2/#post-3638316) * I can see that image just fine. * Thread Starter [luthienarfeiniel](https://wordpress.org/support/users/luthienarfeiniel/) * (@luthienarfeiniel) * [13 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/image-not-uploading-2/#post-3638318) * Huh? There is seriously nothing here… It says page not found. The only image you can see is the header with the bag and that’s not what you’re supposed to see. * [esmi](https://wordpress.org/support/users/esmi/) * (@esmi) * [13 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/image-not-uploading-2/#post-3638321) * At [http://www.luthien.org/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/quote.jpg](http://www.luthien.org/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/quote.jpg) I can see an image of typed text on lined paper.

And why does my wordpress keep on insisting that there’s nothing there? * Thread Starter [luthienarfeiniel](https://wordpress.org/support/users/luthienarfeiniel/) * (@luthienarfeiniel) * [13 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/image-not-uploading-2/#post-3638326) * Just tried it on a different computer as well to rule out it wasn’t my computer, isn’t working there either * [esmi](https://wordpress.org/support/users/esmi/) * (@esmi) * [13 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/image-not-uploading-2/#post-3638328) * Could you try using a computer on a completely different network to rule out any local network issues? * Thread Starter [luthienarfeiniel](https://wordpress.org/support/users/luthienarfeiniel/) * (@luthienarfeiniel) * [13 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/image-not-uploading-2/#post-3638331) * Tried it on the data connection on my phone. Works on there… So where does that leave me :/ I never had this problem with my connection before… Leave it over night, hope it’s good again tomorrow? Reset modem? Everything else seems to be working ok connection wise. * Thread Starter [luthienarfeiniel](https://wordpress.org/support/users/luthienarfeiniel/) * (@luthienarfeiniel) * [13 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/image-not-uploading-2/#post-3638337) * Modem reset….! Worked. Thanks so much for your help. I would never have thought of that one. Seriously, thank you for your help! * [esmi](https://wordpress.org/support/users/esmi/) * (@esmi) * [13 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/image-not-uploading-2/#post-3638339) * No problem.

Glad it’s sorted. Shame it took the whole evening. Oh well. It works now 😉 * [MrsWigley](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mrswigley/) * (@mrswigley) * [13 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/image-not-uploading-2/#post-3638353) * Im having the same problem, and have been for the past few days. None of my media that I have personally uploaded via WordPress will show. My media gallery is a bunch of blank thumbnails. Even the thumbnail images on the left side of my dashboard wont show. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Ive deactivated all plugins and re-installed one by one, cleared cache, changed themes to twenty ten and twenty eleven. Gone over everything in my Cpanel with Hosgator support and can still find no way to fix. Thanks so much! Here is one of the posts that have images hosted by me. All I see are blank squares with the image title in the top left corner.

Hotlink that was added on my cpanel was the culprit. It’s been disabled and my site is working 100% again. Just throwing that out there for anyone else who has the issue. -Courtney _[sig moderated as per the [Forum Rules](http://codex.wordpress.org/Forum_Welcome)]_ Viewing 15 replies - 1 through 15 (of 15 total) The topic ‘Image not uploading’ is closed to new replies. * In: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) * 15 replies * 3 participants * Last reply from: [MrsWigley](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mrswigley/) * Last activity: [13 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/image-not-uploading-2/#post-3638549) * Status: resolved ## Topics ### Topics with no replies ### Non-support topics ### Resolved topics ### Unresolved topics ### All topics
