If images aren't working on your WordPress site, there could be various reasons. Let's troubleshoot step-by-step:
- Check Image File Permissions:Using an FTP client or your hosting control panel, ensure that the file permissions for the images and the uploads directory are set to 755. This means the owner can read, write, and execute, while everyone else can only read and execute.
- Broken Image Links:If you see a broken image icon, the image link might be wrong.Edit the post or page and ensure the image URL is correct.
- Image Upload Issues:If you can't upload images, the problem might be with your WordPress installation or server configuration.Check if there's enough storage space on your hosting account.Increase the file upload limit in php.ini if it's too low.
- Media Library Showing Blank:If your Media Library is showing blank images, a plugin could be conflicting.Deactivate plugins one by one and check the Media Library after each deactivation to identify the culprit.
- Hotlink Protection:If your hosting provider or a security plugin has enabled hotlink protection, it might block images from being viewed. Check and configure hotlink protection settings.
- Using a CDN?:If you're using a Content Delivery Network (CDN), ensure it's configured correctly.Temporarily disable the CDN to see if it's the cause of the problem.
- .htaccess Issues:Sometimes, changes to the .htaccess file can cause image issues.Backup your current .htaccess file and then reset it to WordPress default. Check if that solves the issue.
- Incorrect File Paths After Migration:If you recently migrated your website, the file paths might be incorrect.Use a plugin like "Better Search Replace" to correct file paths.
- Image Optimization Plugins:Some plugins that optimize or compress images can cause issues.Try deactivating these plugins to see if the problem is resolved.
- Theme/Plugin Conflicts:
- Temporarily switch to a default WordPress theme (like Twenty Twenty-One) to see if your theme is the issue.
- As mentioned above, deactivate plugins one by one to identify any that might be causing the issue.
- If your thumbnails aren't displaying correctly, use a plugin like "Regenerate Thumbnails" to regenerate them.
