Thread: Image/Graphics Distortion After Publishing

My images are not showing after publishing. However, they show well on preview.
Note: I downloaded Voda10 just recently, and this work was initially done with Voda9. Could this be a reason?

Is there something I am missing please? The funny thing is that these images are actually voda shapes and header used in designing
the site and therefore I find it strange that they are perfect in preview, and then they disappear in the published view.
The site is http://www.attractyourman.info
I need help please.
Bless

Sorry. Double posting was purely by mistake - while editing.

What images are missing?

The header, checkmarks, burtons, shapes [voda]. In fact the general design components do not show when published. But the site comes to life in preview mode.
Please take a look at it again, you will see all the spots with a red "x". All are graphics.

The greatest surprise is that the site was OK betwee 03.30 to about 4.15 in the morning, and then all the graphics just disappeared.I have checked everything and re-published several times, but I don't seem to be getting it.

I initially posted this in the image section of the forum, but did not get any help there. I also followed a thread in this section on
the same topic, but it kind of fizzled out. Apologies please, I am getting desperate. The site is:

www.attractyourman.info

All my images and graphics disappear after publishing. This include headers, checkmarks, bullet points, bv shapes, bv background,
everything basically. You only get a red "x" in their places.

I was wondering whether BV10 has any issues with sites originally built with BV9, even though Naval has been saying it doesn't.
I tested again with a new mini-site, and the same thing happened after publishing.

Does anyone know what I am doing wrong PLEASE!!
Any help will be appreciated
thanks

The shapes/images were there when I first visited. Now, they are not visible.
???????????????

You are publishing thru the BV web builder and not using the FTP method?
What version of BV ??

Hi, is this an add on domain??? Might be worth a check in your cpanel at the hot link protection. to see if this might be the problem.

Hi Jahman

I believe Chris left you a message in your other thread to check in your control panel, for the icon, hot link protection, and add this domain to the list .. at times this can be a reason for your images to not show properly.

As well, if you have inserted the images and then moved them from place to place on your computer this can happen.

Just another note, I have noticed that most of your images are called banner - it's not the best name for your images as some browsers can potentially, or have been known to, kick off any images using that name ..

I would recommend, renaming your images, to something relevant to the image, reinserting, republishing and see if your images appear. If not, go to your control panel and add this domain to your list under hot link protection ..

Pls let us know if your problem gets solved.

Thanks a lot. You are quite right about moving my images on my computer - I recently re-arranged my images folder. I'll do all you suggested and let you know.
Thanks again

Thanks Carbon and Chris. Yes it is an add-on domain [Note: I have several and this has not been an issue] But I will check out your suggestion Chris.

Carbon Terry, I am happy that you can now appreciate my confusion. It is like a "now you see it, now you don't" situation. And yes I always publish via BV. But in the process of trying to figure out what's wrong, I published using Voda's inhouse FTP without any change. I am using BV10, though the site was originally built with BV9.

Anyhow I'll try what Chris and Lady Eye suggested and let you all know.
Thanks alot

Hi guys, I have done all Lady Eye and Chris suggested [several times] and republished [several times too]. Still no show.
Right now my brain is blocked as I have exhausted it thinking about this problem.
But I still believe that the good people of this forum will somehow find a solution to it.

hey! Is it just possible that there is something in my computer that could be causing this??! - just how far my brain has gone! lol

I'll take a stab at it! I'm not sure if this will help, but maybe!
Open that page into BV and bring every image to the "Front". I think you have a large shape,(bv01149.png, aka:trans.gif?), over all your images. Then republish.

Also, go to cpanel and check that all the missing images are in that folder.
Hope it works!

Thanks Dave, but I'm afraid I didn't quite get the statement"..all the missing images are in that folder". Which folder do you mean. Am I supposed to have all the images [including bv shapes] in a folder which I should also upload to the server?

I usually just pick an image/grahics from my computer, finish my designing and publish. Is this the wrong way?Should I be uploading all my images, and if so are they supposed to show up somewhere in the control panel?
Seems am getting a bit mixed up now.
But thanks. I'll go do what you suggested, at least the one I understood.

Hi, if this is an add on domain???? What was your original domain that this one has been added to????? Just wanted to try something.

The original domain is www.electromaze.co.uk

Hi, its one of two things? The add on domain hasn't been added correctly or you havnt configured the hot link correctly. I would opt for the 1st as click on this link below & then look at the address bar.
http://www.electromaze.co.uk/attractyourman.info/

Hey Chris! This is a bright light at the end of the tunnel. The only thing missing from yours above is the shape: bv01149.png - the one that Dave referred to above. That's the main shape upon which the whole design and texts rest. What you see here [the purple checks] is the background of the site.
I'll go back and check the add-on domain configuration and I'll let you know.
Thank you.
Bless

Hi, it is there http://www.electromaze.co.uk/attract...fo/bv01149.png

I get the impression you have named the add on domain incorrectly as you have the .info in the link.
But have a look at the add on domain tutorial.

The link is not working Chris. It says it is "Forbidden"

Something must of changed, as it was a image of a white rectangle with boarder & shadow.

You are very correct. I have not touched anything there. But thanks Chris. I'll first properly check the config and get back to you.

Jahman
I think Chris has got you on the right track now! I just wanted to "unconfuse" you about the image question!

Any images or shapes that you insert onto your site page as you build it, will be uploaded automatically when you publish the page. However, if you link to an image that is not physically on the page,(such as linking thumbnails to full sized images), then you will have to FTP (upload) those full sized images to that domain's folder.

Thanks Dave. I went to the control panel and checked out the images. They are all there, though when I tried to open them, a window appeared with this:

Forbidden

You don't have permission to access /attractyourman.info/bv01149.png on this server.
Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.
Apache/2.2.8 (Unix) mod_ssl/2.2.8 OpenSSL/0.9.8b mod_auth_passthrough/2.1 mod_bwlimited/1.4 FrontPage/5.0.2.2635 Server at www.electromaze.co.uk Port 80

The permissions for the domain were set at 644 by default, except
for cgi-bin, which was set at 755. I then set the permissions at 755 and later 744. But none of that worked

As per the add on domain issue Chris, I checked that too and everything seems to be OK. The .info was automatically added on tab down [in add on window]. Hence I published to
public_html/attractyourman.info, though it used to be in the format: public_html/attractyourman. I have also tried publishing to the later, but I get a “Publish Failed: General exception” window.


I really appreciate all your efforts to help. Unfortunately we haven't gotten it right yet. I still hope that somebody will come up with the answer. I am very willing and ready to try anything.
Thank you
Bless
