Hi James,

The thumbnails for video links from Vimeo are not showing up. I know you guys support TimThumbs and if simple and phpinfo are all enabled, I'm still not sure what is blocking the thumbs. I have 777 permissions on all necessary folders, I can't seem to find what exactly is blocking the thumbs?

Thanks James!

Hello alexhouse,

Folders that are set to 777 will throw errors, and can cause security problems, since it is accessible to the "world."

I recommend setting all folder permissions to 755, which should allow them to function.

If you have any further questions, feel free to post them below.
Thank you,

Hi John-Paul,

Thanks for the tip, I'll make those changes. However, this issue was happening before I changed the permissions on the folders as well, so I don't think it's related to that.

Hello again alexhouse!

The 777 permissions will cause an internal server error so we recommend 775. Please see link below.

500 Internal Server Error

I'm trying to find the location that does not have the images load on your site.

May I get the url to where the WordPress shows the thumbnails?

I just need to look at it. You will not want to put any login info here as this is public. Thank you!

Hi James,

Absolutely: http://immanentfilms.com/

You'll see on the right that there is a bank of videos that plays, but all of the thumbs just show broken images.

I'll get to work on changing permissions.

Thanks a lot!

The 755 worked! That in combination with using Firefox instead of Chrome to upload. This stuff is so alien to me, but hey, as long as it works! Thanks so much for all the help.
