No images showing up

Hi Everyone,

I'm very much a beginner so bear with me.

Someone did my site in DW and for years I've been updating it myself via trial and error.  I know very little about html.

I have DreamweaverCC and it seems like it's always updating making it hard for me to keep up.  I only update site every 6 months or so, so it's hard to follow the changes.

Basically put...my images aren't showing up in the site.  They'll be there in the "live" preview, but not when I go to the published site.  I'm adding the images like I always have but none of them show up.

This is what I'm doing.  I add the image and save.  I go to the Local Server and "put" it to the Remote Server.  Then I "put" it from the Remote Server.  Then I "put" the web page with the pics on it.

I'm sorry this sounds so basic, but this is what I've always done and it works.  Now, the changes to the page are there, but the pictures aren't.

I'd be grateful for ANY help with this.  Let me know if there is any additional info you need.

PS - I just updated DreamweaverCC.  I needed to do so.  I was hoping the issue was theirs, but I still don't see any images.

And what's really weird - if I try to insert an image that is somewhere else on the site THAT doesn't show up either.  I'm so upset by this whole thing!!!


All your other graphics reside in a folder called images not public_html.

Index of /images

public-html is a virtual directory used by your hosting provider for all public facing web pages and supporting files.   It should never appear in the path to an image or any other asset.  Also, you should not see public_html in your local site folder.  It is only used on the remote server.

Move us3.jpg to your images folder and upload to server.

Change this:

public_html/us3.jpg

to this:

images/us3.jpg

Save contact_us.html and upload to server.

I don't get this step. You "put" TO the remote server (that's fine).

But then you "put" FROM the remote server. Why?

Oh - I thought I had to.  I have always done that in the past.  Should I try not doing that?

The normal DW workflow is to develop your website on the Local Drive (Local Server) then Put to Remote Server (your public facing website).

What exactly do you do when you Put from the Remote Server? What are the steps?
