Thumbnail Issue - Sorry
Hi People
Sorry I didnt want to have to post this, but i have been looking trhough the forum, and have tried everything but cant seem to make this work..

the thumbnails dont seem to be showing. I have re-installed. set permissions etc on 4-5 new installations...
I have tried adding
define('UPLOADS', 'wp-content/uploads');

also most other suggestions here.

My coding is not super flash so it may be something simple but, i have noticed that instead of the uploads folder being
wp-content/uploads
a folder is being created as
wp-content/uploads/classipress

however if i move the images from /classipress to /uploads it breaks the link.
In the products page, where the image should show, is just displaying a link with the post title as text, but when you click on it the image shows up fine..

Sorry i wouldnt post if i couldnt make it happen myself, but im going slightly crazy
Thanks in advance

Here is the site btw

do you have wordpress set up properly? the URL's are all messed up for me so it could be a number of things wrong.

Re: Thumbnail Issue - Sorry
So, im not sure if this helps.
But i was playing around and managed to find this

When i change it to this it works.

I havent actually edited the source as i am only using firebug.

So is this relevant? If so why is this happening and where should i fix it?

Re: Thumbnail Issue - Sorry
If your paths are correct, and wordpress installed correctly maybe it's server side, have you any idea if GD library is enabled? I guess GD would be required for thumbnails with wordpress... you can check it with this script, it's worth a shot.
Code:

<?php echo '<div style="margin: 10px;">'; echo '<p style="color: #444444; font-size: 130%;">GD is '; if (function_exists("gd_info")) { echo '<span style="color: #00AA00; font-weight: bold;">supported</span> by your server!</p>'; $gd = gd_info(); foreach ($gd as $k => $v) { echo '<div style="width: 340px; border-bottom: 1px solid #DDDDDD; padding: 2px;">'; echo '<span style="float: left;width: 300px;">' . $k . '</span> '; if ($v) echo '<span style="color: #00AA00; font-weight: bold;">Yes</span>'; else echo '<span style="color: #EE0000; font-weight: bold;">No</span>'; echo '<div style="clear:both;"></div></div>'; } } else { echo '<span style="color: #EE0000; font-weight: bold;">not supported</span> by your server!</p>'; } echo '</div>'; ?>
save that as gdtest.php and run it...

GD Version Yes
FreeType Support Yes
FreeType Linkage Yes
T1Lib Support Yes
GIF Read Support Yes
GIF Create Support Yes
JPEG Support Yes
PNG Support Yes
WBMP Support Yes
XPM Support No
XBM Support Yes
JIS-mapped Japanese Font Support No

If that does nothing and GD is okay then maybe you should be reinstalling wordpress, making sure permalinks and stuff are okay, image uploader works and you could run a normal blog... then install the classipress theme, do the instructions for install, and cross your fingers

Re: Thumbnail Issue - Sorry
solved...

Permissions for wp-content/ folder "uploads" need to be set chmod 777 on some servers... I say some because not on mine, it's 775.

simple way of checking why your thumbmnails wont work... dont use the classipress theme.

Use the default wordpress theme, make a post as normal in the admin and open the image manager, try to upload a picture that way (it's basically going to the same location server wise) if you get an error about The uploaded file could not be moved to *error* then you need to change permissions on your upload folder, make it writable, only "uploads" NOT "wp-content" as that would be a big bad security hole.

If that does not work and wordpress still wont upload images in a defualt theme via the admin into "uploads" chmod 777 you need to contact your host and ask them why they have such crappy hosting.

If everything works in a default wordpress theme from the admin image manager but not in classipress then you have uploaded classipress wrong, there are no changing paths or turning of permalinks that can fix that.

The only other possible reasons are no GD for images, php safe mode nonsense or apache owning your folders but that's your webhosts problem, not the script.

Re: Thumbnail Issue - Sorry
HI, I have been reading all the posts with reference to the thumbnail issue. I have chmod 777 both upload and classipress.
I changed line 7 in img_resize.php to $image_url = "http://homehost.com/wp-content/uploads/classipress/".$_GET["url"];
homehost.com is the main root where wpmu is installed.

I have read all the posts - but i still cant get the thumbnails to show -- ANY ONE KNOWS A FIX TO THE ERROR

Regards

one other thing -- the /public_html/homehost.com/wp-content/uploads/classipress folder has no pictures in it thoughj I have uploaded few images - all of which appear in full size --- in classipress dashboard -- I check and also no images show in the panel.

It's simple - You have to use original name of your template: classipress

When you change it - it wont work

wrong, you can rename it whatever you like... I did it with mine without any editing needed.
Code:

<?php bloginfo('stylesheet_directory'); ?>
takes care of everything with wordpress themes.
