When I click on a thumbnail to see a larger picture of some of my paintings, the picture isn't showing.

Any suggestions on how I add back the pictures on some of these thumbnails?

Thanks,

Rename your files without any spaces or special characters. You can legally use dots, dashes or underscores if needed but no spaces.

Servers are cAsE sEnSiTiVe. Stick with a file naming convention you can repeat, for example all small case letters.

Perform renaming tasks in your DW Local Files Panel -- see screenshot below. When prompted to update links, hit YES.

You can drag images to any folder you wish but for simplicity, I prefer keep all images in a common folder. For example, images.

about.filename1.jpg

about.filename2.jpg

notes.filename1.jpg

notes.filename2.jpg

and so on.....

Thanks for this help, Nancy.

Looks like you forgot to upload the images themselves, or uploaded them to the wrong location.

I'm seeing a 404 File Not Found Error for the images.

I'm a bit of a novice here. Someone else designed my website, so bear with my questions. :-)

If you see the thumbnail image, I had assumed the painting image was also on the paintings page, but apparently not so.

Are you suggesting for all of the images where you see no image when you click on the thumbnail, to add these full images to the paintings page, too? I think this is what you're saying. And is there a way I'm supposed to connect the clicking on the thumbnail to each of the images?

Thanks.

No, sorry, that's not what I'm saying at all.

In order for anyone to see your images, they need to be uploaded to your server. Right now, when I click on your site, I see a broken image icon in the middle of the screen. When I view the source code of the image, I can see the location that your page is trying to reference. When I go to that location in my browser, I get a 404 File Not Found error, which means there is no image with the given file name at the location being referenced.

Usually a 404 error is caused by either forgetting to upload the images, or uploading to the wrong location. With websites, images aren't actually embedded into any given page, they're written into the page by the browser via links in your source code, the <img src=thisimage.jpg> code. So, when you upload an html file, each .jpg or .gif referenced in the code of that file also needs to be uploaded.

You should be able to highlight your "pics" folder and click the Put button (up arrow icon) in the Files window to upload your images. As long as your local site is defined correctly, your images should appear on the server and your page should work correctly.
