Nothing I do will make the photos show up on old posts. I've tried reuploading them. I've tried full urls and partials. Nothing.

I use Windows Live Writer to upload so I get the proper size pic on my post - can this be effecting it somehow?

That's what I'm doing, I retested and it doesn't work. Be happy to give you admin writes if you tell me how to get you a user name and password without sending it to the world!

I am using the theme (great btw!) in a MU based site. The photos do not appear for me as well since there is no 'uploads' directory in my wp-content path. The path usually goes blogs.dir/files/etc.. Is it possible to have the auto thumbs generated to work with MU and multipleblogs? Below is the link from where the file should be placed, it looks like it is just missing the blogs.dir path?

Can you help? Thx! ./rj

Also Firefox won't show the padding around photos, only in IE.

Cynthia, check #4 on the the FAQ:

"How do I add photos and formatting to the body of my posts?
There are two CSS classes, .picleft and .picright, as well as default styling provided for blockquotes and lists."

If you don't want to add a ".picleft" class to each and every photo in your posts, you could always amend the stylesheet from:

.picleft {
float:left;
margin:4px 14px 10px 0;
border:4px solid #e0e0db;
}

to

.picleft, .narrow img {
float:left;
margin:4px 14px 10px 0;
border:4px solid #e0e0db;
}

And that should fix it globally.

On two notes check that your file permissions are set correctly or the images will not display properly, such as in my case 644 on all scripts.

On MU I have this working on the main blog and will be adjusting it to pick up the remaining blogs I hope sometime in the next 48 hours, but your url should be adjusted to reflect the blog number for example.

wp-content/blogs.dir/1/then the url that's been shown in the themes example.

The key is wp-content/blogs.dir/#/ where the # equals your blog number.

Awewsome support and input webcoaster. I will look into my MU file perms. Look foward to the script working across all MU blogs as well!

Hey guys,
As mentioned, we're making ongoing changes to the thumb script to ensure it works in all hosting environments. So far so good, and we're sending out an update later this week.

But in the meantime, feel free to send an email to both Ben and I (binarymoon@gmail.com and cutout@gmail.com) and we'll fix you up. Be sure to include your FTP and WP logins.

- Moeng,

try 644 on all php files in the scripts dir "mimboPro_multi/scripts/timthumb.php"

See if that corrects the issue for you, also as a note based on the server settings and in some cases, you cannot run any file that is writable by anyone else except the owner.

For example 664 or higher on files can cause errors if your server is set to protect files that are not exclusive for the owner, so 644 would work 664 would not.

Also, look for any error_log files that might be created in your html directories, you might locate the issue a lot quicker when something fails to work.

-Cheers

Very Cool,

Yes, I did read that (thanks), what type of changes did you make in order for it to work across different platforms?

Also take a look at the dir name for the authors image it is set to call from "mimbopro" instead of "mimboPro_multi"
