Thread: publishing pictures and I all get is a empty box with a red x and no pictures

I have created a page of sold items on my website and on that page is pictures of sold chandeliers.

http://www.qualitylighting.net/sold.html

When I publish this sold page all I get is a page of empty boxes with a red x, no pictures appear. Why? Someone out there I am sure has the answer to this.

Thank You, Gaswizard

Hi Paul
Typicallly this happens when you have moved the images from the original place you had them when you created the page.
So when you publish, the site hunts for the images, can't find them using he original path, and publishes the blank squares with the x's
Try reinserting the images and republishing the page(s) in question.

Liz, I did exactly what you had mentioned with no success. I actually did that twice, empty page of pictures, reinsert pictures, republish pictures, and no pictures appear only box with red x. I just flushed out my DNS in my command prompt and still no luck. I even created a new file folder with resized pictures, renamed pictures, and reinserted the pictures on my sold page.

????????????

Thanks, Gaswizard

When I preview the sold page I still get the empty box with the red x.

Hey Paul,
it looks like all of these images are linked to bookmarks on this same page- is this correct? Is there a reason for this?

Liz, I do not understand your question. My son built the website for me and I am trying to figure it out. So your question is to a not so newby.

"Are all of the images linked to bookmarkeds on this same page?"

This page is where you will only find these images on the entire website.

Any more words from you might help.

Thanks Paul

And I just checked out your pool party, sounds very fun!!

When I right click on the space where the picture is, here is what I get about the path for the first picture
http://www.qualitylighting.net/sold.html# 1.jpg
The reason I asked about the bookmarking, is that when you make a link from an object to a particular part of another page, the '#' is used as a direction.
In any case, now that I am looking at it, I bet the #1 is the name of the picture.
Let's try something. Try renaming the pictures without using the # symbol. Then republish. Just do one and see if it works. That might be the thing that is messing with it...
Paul I am guessing here, but might as well try it, could work?
There are others here that are better at this part, but if you have the time, go for it and let me know if it works.

Liz, You are a saint. I got rid of the # and supplied the picture with a actual title and it worked for me. Thank You forever and have a wonderful day.

Hi Squire -
First - Someone may be able to help, but we need to know just what kind of trouble you are having; that is - what have you done? What is it doing? What do you want it to be doing?
Next - you should start your own thread for your question - that way when people go to answer it there will be no confusion about whose question is being addressed.
Regards,

Paul,

I think this is the reason "#" 1.jpg. Do not use "#####" to number your photo files.

Remove it from all your photos and replace with "No." or "-" or "_" or a dot.
