Once everything is ready to go, then I'll redirect the old domain name to the new server. Otherwise, if I'll redirect it now, the the domain name will be pointed to the new server which is not properly set up yet.</p> <p>Any idea how to deal with this issue? </p> http://www.vfxdude.com/forum/topic/default-image-for-posts-not-showing-up#post-1858 Wed, 31 Mar 2010 07:43:00 +0000 vfxdude 1858@http://www.vfxdude.com/forum/ <p>the image url used on the site is:</p> <p><a href="http://gerad.pair.com/tingmike/wp-content/themes/bigfeature/library/timthumb/timthumb.php?src=/tingmike/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/def3.jpg&amp;w=848&amp;zc=1" rel="nofollow">http://gerad.pair.com/tingmike/wp-content/themes/bigfeature/library/timthumb/timthumb.php?src=/tingmike/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/def3.jpg&amp;w=848&amp;zc=1</a></p> <p>and this is right, the tingmike should be added, since it's a subdirectory off the main domain. The reason it's doesn't work is probably because there is a webserver redirection, so that is not the root of the website. Will you get a domain name? Then it will work.</p> <p>The reason it works without that folder name is that the timthumb script searches for the wp-content folder (with an overhead), but adding an image url like this /wp-content/uploads/2010/03/def3.jpg will not work. </p> http://www.vfxdude.com/forum/topic/default-image-for-posts-not-showing-up#post-1855 Wed, 31 Mar 2010 06:35:20 +0000 headfonia 1855@http://www.vfxdude.com/forum/ <p>Hi.<br /> I've fixed the permission on the timthumb folder, and now it works for any random width I set it to.<br /> <a href="http://gerad.pair.com/tingmike/wp-content/themes/bigfeature/library/timthumb/timthumb.php?src=/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/def3.jpg&amp;w=258&amp;zc=1" rel="nofollow">http://gerad.pair.com/tingmike/wp-content/themes/bigfeature/library/timthumb/timthumb.php?src=/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/def3.jpg&amp;w=258&amp;zc=1</a></p> <p>or</p> <p><a href="http://gerad.pair.com/tingmike/wp-content/themes/bigfeature/library/timthumb/timthumb.php?src=/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/def3.jpg&amp;w=765&amp;zc=1" rel="nofollow">http://gerad.pair.com/tingmike/wp-content/themes/bigfeature/library/timthumb/timthumb.php?src=/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/def3.jpg&amp;w=765&amp;zc=1</a></p> <p>But it's still not working on the main site.</p> <p><a href="http://gerad.pair.com/tingmike/" rel="nofollow">http://gerad.pair.com/tingmike/</a></p> <p>Also,<br /> If I uploaded a default image with a width of 848px, they show up fine (although thumbnail is not generated), but if it's any bigger (i.e 1600px), it's not displayed..</p> <p>Here is post with 1600px default image:<br /> <a href="http://gerad.pair.com/tingmike/?p=13" rel="nofollow">http://gerad.pair.com/tingmike/?p=13</a></p> <p>Here is post with 848px default image:<br /> <a href="http://gerad.pair.com/tingmike/?p=1" rel="nofollow">http://gerad.pair.com/tingmike/?p=1</a></p> <p>Thanks. </p> http://www.vfxdude.com/forum/topic/default-image-for-posts-not-showing-up#post-1850 Tue, 30 Mar 2010 21:17:50 +0000 vfxdude 1850@http://www.vfxdude.com/forum/ <p>when I set another width on the image it doesn't work.</p> <p><a href="http://gerad.pair.com/tingmike/wp-content/themes/bigfeature/library/timthumb/timthumb.php?src=/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/stax_sr34box_1.jpg&amp;w=120&amp;zc=1" rel="nofollow">http://gerad.pair.com/tingmike/wp-content/themes/bigfeature/library/timthumb/timthumb.php?src=/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/stax_sr34box_1.jpg&amp;w=120&amp;zc=1</a></p> <p>getting this error message:<br /> Warning: touch() [function.touch]: Unable to create file ./cache/8adbe0f59d0e295d609d814a24efa279.png because Permission denied in /usr/www/users/tingmike/wp-content/themes/bigfeature/library/timthumb/timthumb.php on line 233</p> <p>Probably do the first step in the troubleshooting at the bottom of <a href="http://www.vfxdude.com/bigfeature/2009/07/setting-up-the-theme/">this article</a>. </p> http://www.vfxdude.com/forum/topic/default-image-for-posts-not-showing-up#post-1846 Tue, 30 Mar 2010 13:12:47 +0000 headfonia 1846@http://www.vfxdude.com/forum/ <p>Hi vfxdude,<br /> I have problems with the default image not showing up as well.

Test timthumb by accessing it directly to see if there is any error message (see in the <a href="http://www.vfxdude.com/bigfeature/2009/07/setting-up-the-theme/">troubleshooting</a> how to). </p> http://www.vfxdude.com/forum/topic/default-image-for-posts-not-showing-up#post-1506 Wed, 03 Mar 2010 23:54:41 +0000 pixtrix 1506@http://www.vfxdude.com/forum/ <p>I've got the same problem ... can't get thumbnails. I've created a cache file, made it writable, made the folder which contains the timthumb folder writable etc... nothing happening. I did change the width of the site to 900px - would that have made a difference?</p> <p>Please help, driving me crazy here :( </p> http://www.vfxdude.com/forum/topic/default-image-for-posts-not-showing-up#post-1123 Fri, 05 Feb 2010 16:53:58 +0000 suburbeon 1123@http://www.vfxdude.com/forum/ <p>Thank you Thank you.

But I still can't figure out the problem.<br /> Maybe I'm just not understanding the solutions discussed...</p> <p>Here is my site, <a href="http://www.hintcollective.com" rel="nofollow">http://www.hintcollective.com</a><br /> As you can see, the thumbnail images for the posts are broken.<br /> and once you click the post, you see the full size image there no problem.<br /> All my images are set in the 848 width.<br /> Some images are from your demo site in that width. </p> <p>Thing is that some of the thumbnails are indeed generated and<br /> are placed in:<br /> /public_html/wp-content/uploads/2010/01<br /> Tricky part is that 582 Width thumbnails are not generated.<br /> Followings are the thumbnail sizes I see in this folder:<br /> funnypeople.jpg<br /> funnypeople-300x142.jpg<br /> funnypeople-150x150.jpg</p> <p>To see if the smaller thumbnails are working, I enabled the<br /> "Enable thumbnails posts for the blog" but the page still didn't<br /> give me the images, but with the broken link icon. </p> <p>Do you see what could be causing my problem?<br /> Appreciate your help! Thanks!<br /> Yoichi </p>
