Hey guys, i have a beautiful blog here :-
www.techhacker.org
Its a theme brought from themeforest, theme name is Twicet.
the author is not replying to my questions, so i have got no support for the theme i purchased :x
But if you see below the glider, 3 small boxes would appear. they are the places defined for thumbnails created with timthumb. for some reasons, they dont work.
heres what comes when i access the link directly :-

http://www.techhacker.org/wp-content/themes/twicet/timthumb.php?src=http://techhacker.org/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/crush.jpg&w=44&h=30&zc=1&q=100

i dont know what is the problem coming.

my cache folder is set to 755
script containing folder is set to 755
timthumb is set to 755

the cache and timthumb script are in the root of the theme folder

but i cant get it to show thumbnails.
Can anyone help me ?

What is your web host?

Try using a relative url as the image path to get by this error.

Absolute URL
http://www.techhacker.org/wp-content/themes/twicet/timthumb.php?src=http://techhacker.org/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/crush.jpg&w=44&h=30&zc=1&q=100

Relative URL
http://www.techhacker.org/wp-content/themes/twicet/timthumb.php?src=/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/crush.jpg&w=44&h=30&zc=1&q=100

I omitted the http://techhacker.org in the image path

Don’t forget the slash at the begining there.

Cheers

Just tested this and got it working on your server. Use the relative URL as suggested by imaginem.

Just like this:


h t t p://www.techhacker.org/wp-content/themes/twicet/timthumb.php?src=wp-content/uploads/2009/08/crush.jpg&w=44&h=30&zc=1&q=100

Edit-Having troubles posting code here, so obviously remove the spaces in the above example.

Fixed the problem with my theme PicTree all ready :slight_smile:

Changed the TimThumb.php script with the latest version:
http://code.google.com/p/timthumb/source/browse/trunk/timthumb.php
