Thread: I found the reason why thumbails are not showing up

I found the reason why thumbails are not showing up

Hi All,

After reading all posts regards issue with thumbnails which was not showing on the main page, I figure out what cause problem in my case - I'm sure I'm not the only person who has the same problem.

The problem which cause thumbnails not displayed is WordPress address (URL) and Blog address (URL) path on wordpress settings. In my case, I have wordpress installed in subdirectory. My domain - http://www.a-gratka.pl" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; - is looking on that directory so my server settings are /wordpress (as wordpress is name of subdirectory where wordress and classipress is installed)

So, if I my settings are:

WordPress address (URL) - http://www.a-gratka.pl" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
Blog address (URL) - http://www.a-gratka.pl" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

I don't see thumbails when post a ad

but if I change to:

WordPress address (URL) - http://www.szperaj.com/wordpress" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
Blog address (URL) - http://www.szperaj.com/wordpress" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

problem with images does't exist so when place ad I can see thumbnails

Now I have two qestions:

1. My question then is, why do I need to have path of my blog like http://www.szperaj.com/wordpress" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; but not as my domain name: http://www.a-gratka.pl" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; - to get images works right?
2. Is that any common that I have my wordress in subdirectory I can't receive registration link? How to solve that problem?
(settings in wordpress are to allow user to register)

Adam

Re: I found the reason why thumbails are not showing up

Thanks for sharing your solution but the problem doesn't have to do with the name or number of folders.

It just can't find the correct path of where your images are located when trying to display the thumbnail. You can easily fix this by going into wp-content/themes/classipress/includes/img_resize.php and tinker with the following path near the top:

and then in your case add another ../ like so:
For others, you might need to remove a ../ instead. It's just a matter of trial and error. Sometimes you might need to add/remove a couple ../../ before the thumbnail will show up.

The reason is not everyone has their folders setup the same way and each ../ equals a step down in a directory.

Version 3.0 won't have this issue and will be using timthumb instead which is much more flexible and dynamically discovers your image directory.

UPDATE

Instead of following the above directions and manually having to figure out your path, I recommend using this instead.

Comment out the following line in img_resize.php like so:
and then below it, add the following:

Save and then try loading up your page again. It should now work. If not, chances are you didn't setup the image upload folder correctly. Make sure your folder structure looks exactly like this in (all in lowercase) /wp-content/uploads/classipress/
