 * Even before upgrading to the latest version of wordpress, I uploaded 2 images
   to my media library. The titles were there but no image icons. I can go click
   on the edit button and the image shows up but it won’t load onto my page.
    I 
   checked the other images and their file URL has a string like this…[http://www.domainname…/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/0-e1373193135834.png](http://www.domainname…/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/0-e1373193135834.png)
   The latest uploaded images has a file URL string like this…[http://2014/03/(company](http://2014/03/(company)
   logo name)-e1393995162397.png
 * i upgraded to the latest version of wordpress 3.8.1 but no joy. can anyone steer
   me in the right direction to fix this please?

 * change the file type from .png to .gif or .jpg Or rename your image files and
   try to upload again.

 * It’s possibly a file permission issue. Review the ownership and permissions of
   the wp-content/uploads directory tree. Compare what you find with the codex [changing file permissions](http://codex.wordpress.org/Changing_File_Permissions)
   page.

 * Haseeb,
 * I changed the image file from png to jpg. I then uploaded it to my media library
   but it is still called a png file.
 * This really sucks.

 * I tried that with one image as a test, Haseeb but that image when reloaded now
   will not show up.
 * I’m getting nowhere!

 * You have to concern with you host admin. Or you can install new WordPress installation.

 * I’ve installed all the recent Word Press updates. I still am unable to upload
   any images correctly to my website. This really, really sucks!

 * Dave Naylor,
 * Thanks for your reply. I’m a novice at web site building. Can you tell me how
   to sort out this permission and ownership wp-content/uploads directory tree please?
