• I am logged into my wp-admin and will leave it active. Here is a URL link:

    The WP images for updloading images, video, audio, media, etc. have not worked since I installed WordPress several weeks ago. I’m at my wits end to try and discover what the problem is, as when I use Google Chrome and download regular webpages from FaceBook, for example, the images load fine. The functionality of this is causing problems on my live website for other images I try to upload.
    I am sure it is a setting or something, at least I think it would be.
    Please help.
    Thanks, Steve

    We can’t get into your admin site without an ID and password.

    This is not a request for either of those! DO NOT GIVE STRANGERS YOUR PASSWORDS!

    What’s the error you’re getting when you try to upload an image?

    It’s not images I upload, the original problem is the basic graphics within the WP Admin Panel don’t work. Any line with an image, simply dispays the graphics icon where an image should be. Make sense?
    It was this way when I installed it.
    Let’s try this, I logged out of my admin, and I created a temporary page you can view a screenshot on that I put there.

    I’m assuming that this error you will see is what is causing other pictures not to display.
    Thanks again!

    The image points to http://shepherdsbooknook.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/Capture1.png which is a 403 forbidden page.

    Change the uploads folder, and all subfolders, to permissions 777 and see if that works.

    Changed them to 777…still won’t respond. Are there other file directories that need to be changed to “sync” all the data together?
    I hadn’t changed any setting since the Install. I am confused as to why this is causing so many problems??
    The media-button-image, media-button-music, media-button-other, and media-button-video are 4 other examples that do not display correctly, along with many others. I updated these permissions to 777 also, and no effect.
    Is it possible the UTF-8 encoding should be changed?

    The media buttons etc are from a different folder.

    You’re uploading images via PHP into the wp-content/uploads folder, and if those folders are owned or setup incorrectly, you get this problem.

    You can see the images listed here: http://shepherdsbooknook.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/

    What are the permissions on those files?

    I changed them to 777. They were 644.
    Is there an article on the site I can read as to what permissions certain of these folders should be?
    It seems that the rest of the WP data is working pretty smoothly and is operational.

    The problem is that some servers are different from others.

    Who are the OWNERS of those files? On my server, they’re nobody:nobody, for example.

    I can probably get this information; I just need to know overall what I need to do to fix this? I apologize for now replying sooner; I just feel like a cat chasing its tail.
    If someone else “owns” these files, what must I do to get the images to display correctly?
    I live in Wisconsin; are there any individuals who live near Madison,WI I might be able to get together with for support?
    Thanks!!

    You can hire someone on jobs.wordpress.net or codepoet.com if you don’t know any local folks.
