Images in post not viewable from wp-content/uploads

The url of my blog is http://interactiveblend.com/blog/. I'm not sure what happened, but yesterday I looked and none of the styles were working for any theme. The plug-ins and pages all work, but the css is broken. I viewed the source, and the style sheet is pointing to http:///blog/wp-content/themes/minimalism/style.css instead of http://interactiveblend.com/blog/wp-content/themes/minimalism/style.css (working).

I changed the path from:

<link rel="stylesheet" href="<?php bloginfo('stylesheet_url'); ?>" type="text/css" media="screen" />

to

<style type="text/css" media="screen">@import url( http://interactiveblend.com/blog/wp-content/themes/minimalism/style.css );</style>

and the styles started working, but now I can't view images in my post from the wp-content/uploads folder. Why isn't my site "finding" the blog URL (http://interactiveblend.com/blog)?

    Did you, perhaps accidentally, delete or change the blog url in the general settings page?

    Check you setting under Settings -> General; you might be pointing your blog url on the wrong place.

    What does your .htaccess say? Sometimes I've found when adding plugins or other things it can overwrite the default settings in the .htaccess for pretty URLs and it can totally mess things up.

      I was using /blog but something added http:// in front of that to make http:///blog

      working image: http://interactiveblend.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/sIFR2.png

      When I make the img src the above url, I can see the image in the wysiwyg but when i publish the post, the image doesn't show up. It thinks its an absolute url

      Ramsey says:

      --- RewriteRule . /blog/index.php [L] --- The period before the /blog is messing you up I believe. Check in your WP settings for your Permalinks. Make sure you don't have /blog or anything else in the Optional sectino for category or tag base.

      Ramsey says:

      Alternatively you can try and adding a period in the category base and see what that does. But I think it's got something to do with your htaccess. If you can, set your Permalinks back to standard Wordpress Default, and delete your htaccess file from your server (MAKE SURE TO BACKUP so you can restore if it doesn't work). Then test and see if it works, and if the photos work. If they do, you know it lies with the htaccess/permalinks.

      Louis Gubitosi says:

      I followed your steps and the photos still don't show up...

      Ramsey says:

      You've got a setting wrong somewhere. I can't figure out where or how. Your code is pointing all your images to "blog.com" somehow -- http://www.blog.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/sIFR7.png

      Can you put the settings back to wordpress default and let me take a look?

      same issue here - http://wordpress.org/support/topic/big-problem-with-every-theme-after-update?replies=1

    • 08/18/10 10:00pm

      Ramsey says:

      It may be in your actual theme file too. I see several references in your source code to http:///blog as well.

      Ramsey says:

      That's a very strange issue. I have upgraded several sites to the new 3.0 and 3.0.1 and have done so without any similar issues, so I can't seem to recreate it. I could possibly look closer if you would feel comfortable sharing your admin details, if that is allowed. I would of course report any findings back here for full disclosure.

      Ramsey says:

      Well we officially figured it out.

      We tried editing the Site URL and the WordPress URL to no avail.

      We tried tweaking the htaccess and permalinks, still no go.

      Finally started deactivating plugins and found out that it was the "W3 Total Cache" plugin causing the issue. Ultimately, by simply deactivating that plugin, we fixed the whole problem! I have left it up to the site owner on deciding to use it or not. He may be able to continue using it if he can "rebuild" the cache, but that's a decision he needs to make.

      I decided to keep the plugin... It works when i disable the "Content Delivery Network" option. Thanks again!

    Did you updated WP_HOME or WP_SITEURL in your wp-config.php file.

    Or if accidently some where it is changed you can add following code to your wp-config.php

    to change the WP_HOME and WP_SITEURL

    define('WP_HOME','http://interactiveblend.com/blog/');
    define('WP_SITEURL','http://interactiveblend.com/blog/');

      Louis Gubitosi says:

      right now they both say http://interactiveblend.com/blog/ but this is the URL for the WordPress, not the home URL.

    • 08/19/10 9:09am

      Nilesh shiragave says:

      Can you add this line

      define('WP_DEBUG', true);

      in your wp-config.php file

      you can find wp-config.php at http://interactiveblend.com/blog/ inside this folder.

      just add that line and let me know.

      just add this line in your wp-config.php

      as i said in my previous answer. I think there is problem with the bloginfo() function.

      Louis Gubitosi says:

      ok I added it: http://interactiveblend.com/blog/
