Why can't I insert pictures which show up on my website any more?

When I inserted pictures on a file, the code used to begin with <img src="home.page/   but now, when I insert a picture from the same place (by INSERT - IMAGE), the code it gives me is: <img src="../home.page/   Of course, I can change it to <img src="home.page/  but then the picture doesn't appear. However, in neither case do the pictures appear when I put the files onto the remote server. Meanwhile, the ones I'd previously put up with code beginning <img src="home.page/ do appear. I can usually work these things out but this time I'm stumped. I am now using Dreamweaver 2017, but can't really think this is what the problem is. I've checked the local files against those on the server and they match.

    Is your site defined correctly?  Do you keep all your images inside your local site folder?  Do you Save your new documents and name them before you insert images?

    If everything checks out above, try these links.

    Restore Preferences. 

    Unusual behavior in Dreamweaver? Try restoring preferences.

    If that doesn't fix the problem, wipe Dreamweaver off your computer with the CC Cleaner tools and reinstall.

    Use the Creative Cloud Cleaner Tool to solve installation problems

    Thank you, Nancy, reloading the Preferences solved it. All up and running now.

    Thank you Nancy. However, it was already set for documents. This means that for some other reason it's now using site root. Do you have any idea why?

    It depends on how your site is defined.  Where your document resides in relation to the site root and whether or not you're using templates, child pages from templates, etc...

    What has changed on your end?

    In your site settings, are you using document relative or site root relative links?

    Your first example is document relative.

    Your 2nd example is site root relative.
