No thumbnail using uploader

Hi,

 

Just a little problem since the update,

 

Whenever I upload an image using the uploader plugin, the resultant post shows the attachment which can be clicked on to open. However, there is no thumbnail present – instead the text “[Image Can Not be found]” is displayed.

I’ve had a look on the server-side and the _thumbs directory does contain the generated thumbnails.

Any advice would be much appreciated

This one has been worrying me for a little while now. We have had two users before this with the same issue – which makes it extremely rare of course – but the main problem for us is that there is no logical reason for it. we are actually calling a fairly common WordPress function at the point of the issue which seems to fail to respond as expected.

Could you make a small code edit? Hopefully you are able to. This will show us if the problem is the one I am referring to and also will act as a workaround. If so the file you need is /simple-press/sp-api-sp-api-filters.php

It’s quite a big file I am afraid and the function we are needing is called sp_format_display_image() which is about two thirds of the way through and starts around line 1174.

# see if we can determine if the image still exists before going further. So is it relative?
if (substr($src[1], 0, 7) == 'http://') {
    $response = wp_remote_get($src[1]);
    if (is_wp_error($response) || wp_remote_retrieve_response_code($response) != 200) {
        return '['.sp_text('Image Can Not Be Found').']';
    }
}

Then comment it all out. You can do that by outing a hash # character if front of each line. Save and retry and let me know if this resolves it please.

Yeah, editing that code appears to solve the issue.

We clearly need to look again at that code section
Thanks
