I think this may be an issue with your site. What’s probably happening is the .htaccess file created in the uploads folder is incompatible with your config and is generating a 500 error. Please try the following:
Enable the option on your site.
Then try to load an image URL directly that is not appearing on your site. Right click the image and open it in a new tab. Let us know what you see and post a screenshot if you can. Even better, let us know what appears in your web server error logs if you have access to those – that will tell us why the .htaccess is incompatible with your config and help us fix it.

When I visit my site I can see everything except images. When I open an image in a new tab, I’m getting the following error:
The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request.
Please contact the server administrator at [] to inform them of the time this error occurred, and the actions you performed just before this error.
The htaccess file that’s in uploads directory looks like this:
# BEGIN Wordfence code execution protection
<IfModule mod_php5.c>
php_flag engine 0
</IfModule>
AddHandler cgi-script .php .phtml .php3 .pl .py .jsp .asp .htm .shtml .sh .cgi
Options -ExecCGI
# END Wordfence code execution protection
Here is what’s in web server error logs:
[Tue Jan 27 01:58:10.520908 2015] [core:alert] [pid 19465] [client xx.xx.xx.xx:60562] /var/www/wp-content/uploads/.htaccess: php_flag not allowed here, referer:
Any suggestions?
Thanks,

It seems to be working when I add this to apache2 conf file
<Directory “/var/www/wp-content/uploads/”>
AllowOverride All
</Directory>
Not sure if the code doesn’t defeat the purpose…
