Magento images not showing on front end

Question

I'm using Magento 1.4. I have two website set up. If I upload images to Website A, they appear fine on both front and back end. If I upload or import images to Website B, they do not appear on the front end, only the backend. I'm completely stuck. I'm happy to provide any additional details that may be helpful, but am so frustrated I'm not sure what is necessary info to fix the problem. Thanks!

Answer 1

Recently I've had PNG images not show up on the front end (they show blank not placeholder) even though they show up fine in the back-end.

Re saving them as jpegs or saving them as PNG from a different editor fixed it.

Answer 2

Follow below instruction

1. Go to 'Cache Storage Management' and click on 'Flush Magento Cache', 'Flush Cache Storage', 'Flush Catalog Images Cache' & 'Flush JavaScript/CSS Cache'
2. Go to 'Index Management', click on 'Select All' and then select 'Reindex Data' from drop-down and submit.

Do this process 3-4 times, then have look at front-end with CTRL+F5. Now images will show-up. Make sure htaccess is in working mode.

Answer 3

Make sure your /media folder is writeable.

Answer 4

Or maybe the original uploaded images are to big! Try to keep them under 300kb.

Answer 5

If you use big images, try to increase 'memory_limit' parameter in your 'php.ini' file.

Answer 6

Try

• deleting the cache
• rebuilding indexes

Then:

find . -type f -exec chmod 644 {} \;
find . -type d -exec chmod 775 {} \;

SSH from the root of magento, if you working live
