I currently use the following modules: WYSIWYG with TinyMCE text editor, IMCE, IMCE Wysiwyg Bridge. The problems and solutions should be similar. Here are some things you can check.

  1. Have you checked the paths? Do the paths match your Files directory?
    Try to right click on the image text and select Properties to see the path to the image.
    Or, use the browser menu -View Source to see the HTML code.
  2. Is the image physically on the server?
    Use an FTP program to view your Files directory and verify the image is uploaded.
  3. Do you have the correct permissions enabled?

    Look in Admin >Reports >Status to discover any problems with the CHMOD settings for the Files directory.
    Check your Admin Users Permissions list for any permission settings you might have missed.

thank you ashford ... I had check paths and its good and permissions too so I try hot linking and its not working too ... then I signed up on a free web host and install the project with all my configuration all the same and it works . in my host when i try to post any thing blog,page,poll with text its work but when i try to put any image I get page not found.
now I'm confused and don't know what is going on is it my host?
it had unlimited disk space , email accounts , bandwidth , databases , sub domains , ftp accounts , etc
its uses cpanal , Linux operating system
I don't know what to do .. I contact them for this problem or I will stick with the free one ... bad luck

Check the following:

1. Are the image files physically present on the server? Use an FTP program to check and see. If you can't find any uploaded image files, then
a. check permissions on the "sites/default/files" directory, and ensure that it (and all contents -- files and folders) are set to writable, and
b. verify that you have an tmp/image directory in the base of your Drupal install if you're using image import, and that the tmp and the image directory beneath it are writable.

2. After verifying that the files are there and/or the permissions are ok, go into Drupal and check to ensure that your image paths are correct.

3. Once you've checked the above, open a post that should have had image content. Edit / input format. Make sure that it's set to Full HTML.

If all else fails, can you at lease import images or create an image content type, and load images to a gallery?

I installed ckeditor and IMCE (properly I'm assuming since it worked on a local server). The images seem to upload just fine, the sites > default > files folder contains all my images, but when I hit save after uploading an image, it does not appear!

Even when I inspect the html of the element, I can't find anything - it's like it disappeared.

Which input filter you are using is it a full html...? Try checking for input format in site configurations.
Drupal might be stripping or filtering your tags.

full html ,filtered html , php I had try all and nothing thank you but that is not the problem to me ... I know about drupal (little) and what input to use .

GreyHawk’s picture

GreyHawk commented

From what I've encountered, whenever I've had WYSIWYG installed, the input format type on a post should be full html or the images won't show up.

See my post above for some explicit steps to check -- I reiterate a few elements that an earlier poster (Ashford) asked you about but which you didn't seem to respond to, and those are kinda crucial for any further debugging.

So sorry GreyHawk I didn't notice your post . really I had check all permissions and paths and input filter is full html I know that i must use it with images . like I said before and try it on my xampp server and even on a free web host with same settings and it work . That's makes me mad when I try to made a post that have images it turn me to page not found so I did uninstall all other modules but ckeditor and imce and nothing happened so I uninstall all drupal from the server and start over again none , Then I had try wordpress you know what happen the same " page not found " I don't know why . Please I need answers and I'm ready to give any details.

Unless there's a user permission about viewing image content that wasn't set within Drupal...?

One way to eliminate this, if it's an internal Drupal permissions error and not a file permissions error on the server, is to download and install the Admin Role module, and ensure you've got an Administrator role assigned to the admin user that you can then point Admin Role to.

That will make sure that you won't have any user/role permissions issues when trying to view content (tho, if you're in as admin, you should have full access anyway).

I've got to take a break for a couple hours, but when I get back maybe we can figure out a way to work through this...

Very weird issue... :/

Just wanted to say thanks GreyHawk! I have WYSIWYG with CKEditor enabled on another site of mine, and I couldn't for the life of me figure out what I had to change to get it to work (I don't like to modify the existing text formats), and your post made the thinnk
My culprit was "Limit Allowed HTML tags" that needed to be unchecked, for obvious reasons...
I'll just blame it on the lack of sleep :P

thanks again GreyHawk youare a good person like all drupal users . And thank you Sagar Ramgade too you know what I didn't check .htaccess ask me why ? cause i had install drupal many times and I hadn't change any setting on this file ... really it's the host I know that , and the answer is to change it .
so I had sign up in with anew one . Thanks to you all

LOL it was such a simple thing in my case - make sure when your adding images to have the input set to "Full HTML"

renyi commented

You can enable images in "Filtered HTML". Just add "img" to "Allowed HTML tags". I'm sure the developers default it to "Filtered HTML" for a reason, =)

I'm glad everyone else sorted their problems out, but now I'm having the same problem.

I'm using drupal on wamp server with the ckeditor.
I have checked the following:
- File is definitely there in www/sites/default/files.
- Path is sites/default/files/logo.png for the image properties.
- No directory problems - its local
- Input is set on full html.
- I am the administrator adding it so no user roles permissions.

When I click on source it gives me this:
Only local images are allowed.

Is there anything else that I could look for?

It seems that my mistake was with my picture path. I didn't have the ../../ in front of the url.
../../sites/default/files/logo.png

Hope this information helps whoever has the same problem.

I'm using CKEditor and IMCE. When I go through the process of selecting an image, I get a red box with a large white X in it. The URL indicating the image cannot be shown. The URL in the IMCE Image Properties box shows up with a leading slash (/), like this:

sites/default/files/image.png

If I type in the leading slash and hit Okay or click on the image size recalulator arrow, the image appears.

My question: How do I get IMCE to include that leading slash?

Shadlington’s picture

Shadlington commented

I'm having a similar problem.
I'm using CKEditor with IMCE.
When trying to add an image, CKEditor works fine if I give it a URL myself. IMCE works fine for uploading.
The only part that doesn't work is the URL that IMCE is returning.
It is of the form /userfolder/filename if relative and sitename.com/userfolder/filename. It should be /sites/default/files/userfolder/filename.

Anyone have any idea how to fix this?

Ashford commented

I had trouble with a different module and the slash marks in the file path. The easiest fix was to put the complete path.

http://mydomain.org/sites/default/files/path/to/image.jpg

I am not familiar with the module you are using. Ignore me, if it does not allow you to enter the path.

parasox commented

I fixed this by updating to the latest dev version of IMCE

KarimB commented

Yes parasox, you're right when you suggest to upgrade to the last version of IMCE.

I had the same problem of path with IMCE.
I've updated to the last version (6.x-2.0-rc2) and it works fine.

Problem gone.

Drupal Rocks!

I am also getting the same issue, and solved it but re-configuring from admin-> site configuration-> Input formats
Allow the < i m g > tag to stop filtering the image tag from your posting content. Hope this helps.

I have also this problem.
I checked in my localhost ( my home computer - wamp) and the path is localhost/sites/.... my site folder is missing!
I changed the base url on the settings file to localhost/sitefolder and still have the issue?
How can I fixed that?
Thanks/
