MyBB Community Forums

So uhh, downloaded and made my own Forum today. But the images are not showing up for smileys, actually not for anything not even the Forum logo is showing. Is there some kind of fix for this that anyone knows? Here's a picture of it.

Hard to say with the information provided.  No idea of the theme, or even mybb version.  I see an incomplete project on github, although  doesn't help in the least.

As a general rule of thumb, make sure the image directory as defined in the ACP is correct, readable, and the files exist:  Themes - Your theme - Image directory. That would be a good start.

The mybb version i have currently is the 1.8.24 update, and it does indeed have writing permissions. I am using the normal theme as of right now, could it have something to do that I am currently hosting the forum on 000webhost? Just wanted to test if it worked before buying another host for the Forum.

Then you should be able to open one of the broken image links in a new browser window.  Turn on your developer console to get errors helps too.

You might have to give test access to mybb support to test.  Assuming you don't have ssh but a web panel to check perms.

Most likely this? https://vixirus.000webhostapp.com/

quickly noticed in source that https://vixirus.000webhostapp.com/imagesfavicon.ico

image path is missing / perhaps?

ie:

https://vixirus.000webhostapp.com/images/favicon.ico

though that file is also not present, so makes one wonder if the op uploaded the images dir? or if image dir is corrupted...

actual present images like:

https://vixirus.000webhostapp.com/images/logo.png

give errors ie: cannot be displayed because img-name: "blah-blah.png" contains errors....

as does https://vixirus.000webhostapp.com/images/paperclip.png ,  https://vixirus.000webhostapp.com/images/buttons_bg.png ,  https://vixirus.000webhostapp.com/images...sprite.png ... (etc, etc) => or any other img in images dir....

quick example: visit: https://vixirus.000webhostapp.com/images/colors/ and click any img link residing in that dir..., and blammo!

ie:
"the image "https://vixirus.000webhostapp.com/images/colors/dawn_header.png" cannot be displayed because it contains errors...."


so @ op, perhaps the first thing to consider is perhaps make sure the image directory as defined in the ACP theme setting is correct & that img dir is readable, also that theme cache files need to both readable and writable so make sure that your ./cache/ and ./cache/themes/ folders are set to 777, then lastly if those are all good that the corrupted images dir needs to be overwritten / re-uploaded ie: extract fresh mybb zip on your comp, then ftp the fresh images dir and the entirety of its contents via ftp (ie: filezilla) thus overwriting the existing problematic images dir and see if that sorts out your corrupted imgs issue?

Mhm, I have that theme on rn, using the normal one doesn't help anyways so might aswell use another one but yeah thats the test forum.

Is it possible that it has something to do with the 1.8.24 update of myBB?


Quick edit, doesn't really seem to be something broken, tried to install the 1.8.21 update too and it doesn't want to work either. Am I doing something wrong or what?

The screen shot you show only shows us the permissions for the files inside the images folder. Can you check the permissions set on the /images folder itself?

Your site appears to be down entirely, so unable to check this for you - but I'd start with what Ben said.

May we have a link of your forum?
Is your forum uploaded in a subforum? example yourforum.com/forum
if it is then you should change Image Directory to forum/images/theme images folder

if it doesn't work then change board url at Site Details of forum admin panel

admin panel >> Configuration (Settings) >> Site Details

board url --> http://yourforum.com/forums
cookie domain --> .yourforum.com
cookie path --> /forums/
