Can't get GIF's to work - DNForum - Domain Sales, Domain Forum, Domain Appraisals, Domain Registrars

Hello,

I recently built a classified ad website using wordpress. Everything seems to be fine, but the only problem is the areas where there suppose to be gif's aren't working. Here's the website: gibsoncity.info

I'm very new to putting together websites. Any help would be appreciated...

Make sure the case (lower / upper) are the same and link the entire path of the location of the gif, not just the folder.

In other words:

Code:

<img src="http://www.example.com/images/picture.gif">

as opposed to:

Code:

<img src="/images/picture.gif">

Wordpress can be a little fussy when it comes to images especially when you're using templates. It seems to work when you put the fuill path to the picture in the tag and not just the folder/file

This might be the problem (according to the plugin author):

Quote:

Make sure the folder images have the correct writing permissions.
Set the permission of the directory “wp-content/plugins/wp-classified/images” to 777.

Still can't get it to work. Thanks for all the replies. If you have any more suggestions, please post them. I'm going to keep on researching this...

Did you actually upload those images? When I try and view them, I get 404 errors?

**DavidJames** · 07-01-2008, 04:09 PM

Yes they're uploaded. They were in the wpclassified program on wordpress. In the images file, there's multiple gif's to choose from...

BTW - I just realized with one of mine that it is case sensitive.

picture.gif is not the same as Picture.gif and that is not the same as picture.GIF
