All is working as expected except the thumbnails... they show as broken images - or rather, as red 'X's.</p> <p>It worked great before the move - could this be solved with updating the timthumb.php file? If so, where would I find the update?</p> <p>See the issue here: <a href="http://www.talkspark.co.uk" rel="nofollow">http://www.talkspark.co.uk</a> </p> http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/slider-thumbnails-are-broken-links#post-26660 Sat, 10 Sep 2011 15:34:15 +0000 Kriesi 26660@http://www.kriesi.at/support/ <p>timthumb has a known problem with multisite installations. you might want to google for "timthumb with multisite" and check out one of the tutorials ;)</p> <p>cheers</p> <p>Kriesi </p> http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/slider-thumbnails-are-broken-links#post-26562 Thu, 08 Sep 2011 17:48:44 +0000 Mike 26562@http://www.kriesi.at/support/ <p>Kriesi, </p> <p>it is a multisite installation. I suppose the only thing we can do is see how Timthumb performs when it has a real URL. I'll let you know what happens when we launch in a couple weeks; if i have to create icons to use in place of auto-generated slide thumbnails, so be it. Thanks for looking in to this. </p> http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/slider-thumbnails-are-broken-links#post-26259 Thu, 01 Sep 2011 23:15:04 +0000 Kriesi 26259@http://www.kriesi.at/support/ <p>Hey! I can only make an educated guess on this one but it might be possible that timthumb has problems with the ~ character in your url.</p> <p>Another problem with timthumb ist that is has problems running on wordpress multisite installations. do you use a multisite installation or a default wordpress installation?</p> <p>Cheers<br /> Kriesi </p> http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/slider-thumbnails-are-broken-links#post-26203 Thu, 01 Sep 2011 14:35:28 +0000 Chris Beard 26203@http://www.kriesi.at/support/ <p>I'll contact Kriesi to check this problem.<br /> As for your forum password you should be able to change it <a href="http://www.kriesi.at/support/profile/mikeverzella">here</a> if you haven't already. </p> http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/slider-thumbnails-are-broken-links#post-26174 Thu, 01 Sep 2011 00:44:15 +0000 Mike 26174@http://www.kriesi.at/support/ <p>Chris,</p> <p>I've already perform a virgin install of the latest Twicet to verify the problem.</p> <p>Regards - </p> http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/slider-thumbnails-are-broken-links#post-26147 Wed, 31 Aug 2011 18:25:17 +0000 Chris Beard 26147@http://www.kriesi.at/support/ <p>Hey,<br /> when you upload media the media is supposed to go to the uploads folder, running your site locally could form some problems with a wrong setup but it should work as on a normal host.<br /> If the thumbnails don't work as they're supposed to I'd suggest you download the latest version of the theme from Themeforest and try a clean installation (of the thee), this way we ensure it's not the theme but rather edits/plugins malfunctioning. </p> http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/slider-thumbnails-are-broken-links#post-26041 Mon, 29 Aug 2011 18:46:06 +0000 Mike 26041@http://www.kriesi.at/support/ <p>some things i have noted for troubleshooting:</p> <p>i expected that, being in a network set up, the media and posts would be under .../wp-content/blogs.dir/ ... this is not the case, so far the first site is putting content in to /uploads ... this may be the proper operation, but the network feature is new to me. The site is installed in a root location, as WP requests, however it does not have a domain name.</p> <p>could the fact that this is a network set up, compounded with the site being in a 'sandbox' without a domain name, be making timthumb skip a beat? The application goes beyond my PHP knowledge to troubleshoot.</p> <p>Thanks for your help. </p> http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/slider-thumbnails-are-broken-links#post-25940 Sat, 27 Aug 2011 02:14:34 +0000 Mike 25940@http://www.kriesi.at/support/ <p>Dude,</p> <p>i'm afraid updating the timthumb.php file did not fix my problem.</p> <p>I removed the uploaded test images, removed the test posts, updated timthumb.php (and style.css), created new posts and uploaded new images. The problem persists.</p> <p>---</p> <p>Is it possible to change my password in this forum? i can't seem to find an option... </p> http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/slider-thumbnails-are-broken-links#post-25898 Fri, 26 Aug 2011 10:26:41 +0000 Dude 25898@http://www.kriesi.at/support/ <p>Hey,<br /> the thumbnails - i.e.: <a href="http://i-fiction.net/~bnj/wp-content/themes/twicet/timthumb.php?src=http://i-fiction.net/~bnj/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/500x350.jpg&amp;w=44&amp;h=30&amp;zc=1" rel="nofollow">http://i-fiction.net/~bnj/wp-content/themes/twicet/timthumb.php?src=http://i-fiction.net/~bnj/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/500x350.jpg&amp;w=44&amp;h=30&amp;zc=1</a></p> <p>give me a 404 not found error which indicates a problem with the timthumb image generation. Kriesi released an update yesterday which incorporates the latest timthumb version (v2+). It's highly recommended to update asap because the old timthumb script can be used to attack/hack your server. Maybe the updates solves your problem too. Please download the update at themeforest.net and replace the old files with the updated files (mentioned in version.rtf). </p> http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/slider-thumbnails-are-broken-links#post-25867 Fri, 26 Aug 2011 01:48:55 +0000 Mike 25867@http://www.kriesi.at/support/ <p>here is the link to the site being built <a href="http://i-fiction.net/~bnj/" rel="nofollow">http://i-fiction.net/~bnj/</a> </p> http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/slider-thumbnails-are-broken-links#post-25866 Fri, 26 Aug 2011 01:45:58 +0000 Mike 25866@http://www.kriesi.at/support/ <p>greetings -- i'm working with a fresh WP 3.2.1 install (network), a fresh database, and fresh Twicet install. My slider posts, with images and text, are working as expected, but thumbnails appear as broken images. </p> <p>The website is for an internet-novice, so i would like to determine why they are not being generated automatically, as opposed to going 'manual' and sizing/placing individual images for thumbnails as a solution.</p> <p>Twicet reports that my server has the necessary graphics packages installed, automatic re-sizing is enabled, and permissions are opened up on my /uploads and /cache folders. I'd appreciate any help in troubleshooting this, be it Twicet or my server packages.</p> <p>Thanks for your help --- </p>
