Super recent posts also doesn’t help. * Do I have to change rights in a certain directory? * [oscarvangend](https://wordpress.org/support/users/oscarvangend/) * (@oscarvangend) * [13 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-advanced-recent-posts-widget-thumbnails-not-showing/#post-2636778) * Same here. I heard it has something to do with the new WP version, because it changes the “place” of thumbnails. (which means the widget’s source isn’t right anymore). But I don’t know how to fix it (yet)… * [faina09](https://wordpress.org/support/users/faina09/) * (@faina09) * [13 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-advanced-recent-posts-widget-thumbnails-not-showing/#post-2636779) * If your problem is – as I guess – with WordPress Multisite, have a look [here](http://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-advanced-recent-posts-widget-tim-thumb-and-aws-s3?replies=4#post-3211864) * [akedv](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ak71/) * (@ak71) * [13 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-advanced-recent-posts-widget-thumbnails-not-showing/#post-2636780) * having the same issue with the thumbs: they are only shown when i’m logged in the backend, tried that in firefox, internet explorer and chrome. it happens with the “super recent posts” plugin as well. * this url is generated and gives me an 403: * [http://www.graustufe.at/wp-content/plugins/advanced-recent-posts-widget/timthumb/thumb.php?src=http://www.graustufe.at/wp-content/uploads/20090301_klimtvilla.jpg&h=100&w=250&z=0](http://www.graustufe.at/wp-content/plugins/advanced-recent-posts-widget/timthumb/thumb.php?src=http://www.graustufe.at/wp-content/uploads/20090301_klimtvilla.jpg&h=100&w=250&z=0) * well, i found it to be a problem with the absolute path/url in the address! when using the relative path: * [http://www.graustufe.at/wp-content/plugins/advanced-recent-posts-widget/timthumb/thumb.php?src=/wp-content/uploads/20090301_klimtvilla.jpg&h=100&w=250&z=0](http://www.graustufe.at/wp-content/plugins/advanced-recent-posts-widget/timthumb/thumb.php?src=/wp-content/uploads/20090301_klimtvilla.jpg&h=100&w=250&z=0) * thumbs display just fine! so how can we fix this? * greets alexander * [photoJoe](https://wordpress.org/support/users/photojoe/) * (@photojoe) * [13 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-advanced-recent-posts-widget-thumbnails-not-showing/#post-2636781) * I’ve just moved a draft site over to live site (different host). Now the thumbnails do not show. Its got same theme, same plug-ins, same settings.

Anyone had any luck working this out? * [http://www.pixelindustry.co.nz](http://www.pixelindustry.co.nz) * Cheers * Robin * [Redrandm](https://wordpress.org/support/users/redrandm/) * (@redrandm) * [13 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-advanced-recent-posts-widget-thumbnails-not-showing/#post-2636783) * Hi Guys. Sorted! The problem was a file permissions issue on the server. That’s why it all looked ok in the code but still didn’t load images. * If you’re having issues like I and Joe above, check out this post regarding the timthumb.php (called thumb.php in the widget) that the ‘advanced recent post widget’ uses and adjust your file and folder permissions as recommended: * [http://www.binarymoon.co.uk/2010/11/timthumb-hints-tips/](http://www.binarymoon.co.uk/2010/11/timthumb-hints-tips/) * Cheers Robin Viewing 8 replies - 1 through 8 (of 8 total) The topic ‘[Plugin: Advanced Recent Posts Widget] thumbnails not showing’ is closed to new replies. * ![](https://s.w.org/plugins/geopattern-icon/advanced-recent-posts-widget.svg) * [Advanced Recent Posts Widget](https://wordpress.org/plugins/advanced-recent-posts-widget/) * [Frequently Asked Questions](https://wordpress.org/plugins/advanced-recent-posts-widget/#faq) * [Support Threads](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/advanced-recent-posts-widget/) * [Active Topics](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/advanced-recent-posts-widget/active/) * [Unresolved Topics](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/advanced-recent-posts-widget/unresolved/) * [Reviews](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/advanced-recent-posts-widget/reviews/) * 8 replies * 8 participants * Last reply from: [Redrandm](https://wordpress.org/support/users/redrandm/) * Last activity: [13 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-advanced-recent-posts-widget-thumbnails-not-showing/#post-2636783) * Status: not resolved
