Images not showing on website - using Timthumb WordPress
- SOLVED
I am utilising a template to create a site and images on new posts are not showing up. The images are uploaded to the server fine however the website pages do not show them. The template I am using utilises Timthumb (found here: http://www.darrenhoyt.com/2008/04/02/timthumb-php-script-released/ )
The theme I am using can be found here (http://themeforest.net/item/rttheme-6-bussiness-theme-5-in-1-for-wordpress/83648)
Need help ASAP as project is due tomorrow COB.

Nilesh shiragave comments:
where you uploaded timthumb.php file?
inside "rttheme6" theme folder? or inside another child folder?
Farooq Khan comments:
inside rttheme6 folder
Nilesh shiragave comments:
I think it is a hosting issue because whenever you directly call images it gives 500 internal server error

Maybe check GD library is enabled or not.
Check this forum thread in Themeforest similar issue.

On the right path, I've contacted the hosting company and they are looking into the GD library for me to install it. I will give you an update when i hear back from them.
Farooq Khan comments:
GD library was already installed. What else can we try?
Nilesh shiragave comments:
Delete .htaccess file, change back all permissions to 755...

Hi there.
- Make sure forlder /cache/ in timthumb folder is able to write (chmod 777 cache)
- php must have GD library support
Hope this help

Farooq Khan comments:
Im sure DG librabry is enabled and the permissions are all 777.
Here is the page with the problem: http://www.agi-precision.com.au/site/?p=32
dr_killpatient comments:
Try chmod 755 then. And delete a .htaccess is it's able

I changed the permission and deleted the .htaccess file but it still didn't work. I will look at the link you sent.

Farooq Khan comments:

Rashid Aliyev comments:
Try to change permisson of folder as well. Made it 777 to.
Rashad Aliyev answers:
Dear Farooq Khan,
There can be many cause. Because of your hosts give : Internal Server Error result for [[LINK href="http://www.agi-precision.com.au/site/wp-content/themes/rttheme6/timthumb.php?src=http://www.agi-precision.com.au/site/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/roll_cage.png&w=310&h=254&zc=1"]]included image[[/LINK]]
<strong>You should edit your file:</strong>
edit timthumb.php find:
readfile($cache_file);
change with
echo file_get_contents( $cache_file );
try it again.
Farooq Khan comments:
Hi Rashad, Thanks but it didn't work, I've also submitted a request with my hosting company to install GD library in case its not installed.
Rashad Aliyev comments:
But you said before that's installed. I though if it's installed and if you have cache folder and if it was 777 permission in directory of your timbthumb then only 1 way you should change getting image method for script ;)
Farooq Khan comments:
I know, i thought it was installed as well but when i asked the hosting techs to check their level 1 techs didn't know how to check. So the guy told me he is submitting a request to their level 2 techs to install it. Is there anyway i can check myself?
Rashad Aliyev comments:
make a php file and put it your host and run it. you'll see all of your settings there.
<?php
phpinfo();
?>
best regards.
Farooq Khan comments:
OK, they have come back saying it was already enabled. So what now :)
Farooq Khan comments:
I know its not good practice but i've made almost all folders with 777 permission and timthumb.php has 777 permission as well.
Rashad Aliyev comments:
Send me your credentials for looking there.
Rashad Aliyev comments:
Happy news for you:)) That's worked:)
