Problem with images

[winddrifter]

I maintain a mirror of my online blog on my local PC. I have a recent blog entry where the images will show on my local computer, but not on the hosted version. Both are using the latest version (1.3.dev [master]). Php 8.1.17 at home, 8.0.29 on the hosted (problem post) version. The images were showing up on the hosted version, but then something changed. I see links to the images, and they show the correct path.
-Permissions are the same for every folder/image in the images folder: 0776
-None of my other posts have a problem with images
-I deleted the images for this post and recopied them, along with the post entry text, from my home (working) version
-If, on the hosted version, I change an image property (such as width=xxx), the thumbnail image is regenerated in the .thumbnail sub-folder, so the image url is correct and the image is present.
-if I click on the image link I get a message "Image could not be loaded" at the top left corner I see something like 5/18, where it is the 5th image out of 18 in that image sub-folder. So the number of images is known, and which of the images it is.
-when I try to open link in new tab, I get a browser message saying I do not have permission to access that document.

Hello @winddrifter,

welcome to the FLatPress support forum.
There are several possible causes of the error:
- The owner is not www-data
- The "Blogbase URL" is not correct (admin area, "Configuration" menu)

- Tests have shown that file permissions should have octal 0666 and directory permissions octal 0777

- It can't hurt to recreate the index in the admin area in the "Maintain" menu and then empty the theme and template cache.
- Please also clear the browser cache
- Deactivate subsequently installed browser extensions
- Check whether the problem also exists with another browser.

I recommend that you update FlatPress to 1.3 release or to 1.3.1 dev [master] for local testing.

Please report whether these measures have been successful.

With best regards
Frank

Probably you had my same problem.
Try to put the inages folder into fp-content.
In this way you can use the same syntax when you write the link or you can use the dropdown menu into the editor.

That was very useful! I had tried the 'restore file permissions' and rebuild index under Maintain, but without joy. The file permissions gave me an error about not being able to reset to 0776, but I ignored it because all of the files/folders were 0776. Now that I've used the permissions you gave, everything is working.

My home install is Windows, so those file permissions are not a problem, but now I know what they should be.

Thanks!

Richard
