Hi everyone,
When I install any of the demos, the images do not show.
Any insights?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance
You don’t get all the images from the “demos” — as they are licensed images. Meaning you don’t get 100 free stock photos with theme; you get the demo “layouts” and CSS, and need to use your own images. The demo is to help you setup a look/feel for your site, not give you a ton of free content and photos.
So, this is normal practice with themes bought from ThemeForest — as the demo images were licensed to TagDiv and not to you.
If that was not the query you meant, and I mis-understood, please pardon my input. I don’t work here but have been using TagDiv themes for 2 years now, and run into various such things in my own travels. 🙂
Hi Chris,
Thanks for the response.
The thing is, all the images are loaded in the library.
In fact, I can see all the images in the ‘Edit Post’ section of my wordpress dashboard.
Even when I add my own images in my own posts, I do not see them showing up.
Okay, so did you do the regenerate thumbnails option ?
Again, might not be your issue, just a thought.
No I didnt, but I created new posts with new thumbnails and images in the post. In such cases, the images do not show up.
Maybe make sure you have the GD library installed on your server; WordPress uses that to create new images/thumbnails from your image uploads. Then the ‘featured’ image in post gets used to create the thumbs found on indexes and home page, etc.
Thanks Chris. I will look into it.
What about the images that are embedded in posts? Those don’t show up either
No idea. Works for me. Just offering some suggestions 🙂
Are the images in the post set as “featured” image? There will be NO thumbnails without a featured image selected for each post.
OH …
you can turn off the “lazy loading” images feature – which seems to impact some people but not others, and some browsers but not others … that may be why you see an image in the edit, but not live on the page when posted!
Find that setting in the theme admin panel and turn OFF.
Thanks Chris.
Works perfectly.
Any ideas as to why this was causing an issue?
I do not want all the images to load at once as this may cause a performance issue.
Well… it works for some folks and not for others — no idea why. I ran into this same issue using mod_pagespeed (which has built-in lazy load function option) on our site 15 months ago, and chose not to use it for same reason. I’d see randomly no images loaded. Meaning, the top of page items might load, but if somebody waited then scrolled down, there would be no images at all … super annoying.
The trade off with lazy loading is that some browsers and some setups just don’t exactly work consistently since it’s kind of an ajax load on demand thing — much like some of those long parallax one page website sometimes just crash the web browser which is super annoying (most folks have given up on that, thankfully).
I’ve disabled it on all our sites for this same “inconsistent” issue.
TagDiv support might have better answer … but that’s been my WTF? experience 🙂
Thanks Chris. Much appreciated.
