The thumbnails to my posts do not load. Instead they have that evil blue box with question mark. I tried to download Post Thumbnail Editor but still could not figure it out. * 1.

Hopefully they respond shortly. * So to confirm, it looks like the problem is with the image file path? As it goes to my blog rather then the proper image file? This is what causes it not to load on HOME page? * If so, is it a theme compatibility problem or am I uploading the images wrong? * Many thanks for your effort and time.

I have checked each image and it says the file URL is: [http://www.youngwildandbroke.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/beautiful-girl-london-love-Favim.com-894762.jpg](http://www.youngwildandbroke.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/beautiful-girl-london-love-Favim.com-894762.jpg) ( or something similar) I believe this is the problem of why thumbnails do not properly load and display a blue “?” icon instead. * Can anyone remind me why it does this? I will upload images from computer then add to media library. Is this a default function? I think I need to file URL to make the thumbnails appear? * Thank you * Moderator [James Huff](https://wordpress.org/support/users/macmanx/) * (@macmanx) * [11 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/thumbnail-does-not-load/#post-5258076) * That image works just fine: [http://www.youngwildandbroke.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/beautiful-girl-london-love-Favim.com-894762.jpg](http://www.youngwildandbroke.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/beautiful-girl-london-love-Favim.com-894762.jpg) * Do you mean you’re also seeing blank images in the Media library? * Thread Starter [youngwildandbroke](https://wordpress.org/support/users/youngwildandbroke/) * (@youngwildandbroke) * [11 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/thumbnail-does-not-load/#post-5258081) * I am seeing the ? icon with blue box for thumbnails. You can find this on home page. The thumbnails do not load. They also do not load on Blog page. * Moderator [James Huff](https://wordpress.org/support/users/macmanx/) * (@macmanx) * [11 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/thumbnail-does-not-load/#post-5258082) * Ok, try running [https://wordpress.org/plugins/regenerate-thumbnails/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/regenerate-thumbnails/) for all images. * Keep your browser open while the regeneration is running, or it will stop when you close your browser. * Thread Starter [youngwildandbroke](https://wordpress.org/support/users/youngwildandbroke/) * (@youngwildandbroke) * [11 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/thumbnail-does-not-load/#post-5258103) * I just ran the plugin. all was successful but still getting that demonic ? icon with blue box for thumbnails. * i must be doing something completely wrong. it shouldn’t be this difficult. * uhhhh this is the curse of me * Moderator [James Huff](https://wordpress.org/support/users/macmanx/) * (@macmanx) * [11 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/thumbnail-does-not-load/#post-5258104) * Right click one of the blue ? and choose to copy the image URL (not the link URL).

But I did inspect element and I think this might be a CSS issue? * The images I believe are stored in a back end folder wp-content or something of the sort? * Thread Starter [youngwildandbroke](https://wordpress.org/support/users/youngwildandbroke/) * (@youngwildandbroke) * [11 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/thumbnail-does-not-load/#post-5258106) * but in each image I found URL links like this * [http://www.youngwildandbroke.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/IMG_0965.jpg](http://www.youngwildandbroke.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/IMG_0965.jpg) * Thread Starter [youngwildandbroke](https://wordpress.org/support/users/youngwildandbroke/) * (@youngwildandbroke) * [11 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/thumbnail-does-not-load/#post-5258107) * or even this * [http://www.youngwildandbroke.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/IMG_0965-55×55.jpg](http://www.youngwildandbroke.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/IMG_0965-55×55.jpg) * Moderator [James Huff](https://wordpress.org/support/users/macmanx/) * (@macmanx) * [11 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/thumbnail-does-not-load/#post-5258108) * Well, those images appear to be loading just fine, so they should in the Dashboard too. Something must be blocking them. * Try deactivating all plugins. If that resolves the issue, reactivate each one individually until you find the cause. * If that does not resolve the issue, try switching to the Twenty Fourteen theme to rule-out a theme-specific issue (theme functions can interfere like plugins). * Thread Starter [youngwildandbroke](https://wordpress.org/support/users/youngwildandbroke/) * (@youngwildandbroke) * [11 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/thumbnail-does-not-load/#post-5258110) * WE FIXED IT!!!! * I found the problematic plugin: Jetpack by WordPress.com * I have deactivated it.
