The watermark is still where it's supposed to be and I've even tried deleting it (along with the actual watermark add-on file and .htaccess) and re-uploading with no success.

Do the actual images themselves need to be set to a particular permission? I wondered if regenerating the thumbs could have set them to something different that makes them inaccessible to the add-on.

refreshing the thumbs should not change something because the wrapper don't care about the thumbs.
check your file locations

.htaccess in your images folder (644)

content of the htaccess file

AddHandler watermarked .jpg
AddHandler watermarked .jpeg

Action watermarked /your pp location/admin/wrapper.php

location of your wrapper.php as shown above /admin/wrapper.php (644)
same location for the watermark.png like wrapper.php

your images folder should have 777 permission

that's all. that's how it works with my PP since 4 version updates


hope this helps

cheers
v.t.

Thanks for your help (again) Vernon. Unfortunately, I've already tried everything and still no luck. Since this makes absolutely no sense, I guess I'll just resort to manually adding watermarks retroactively and in the future.

FIXED IT!

My hosting company's (icdSoft) awesome support quickly diagnosed it as a problem because I'm still using PHP4 instead of 5, added a line into my main .htaccess file and it's working again.

Thanks for the replies, guys. Cheers!

Hi folks - I've got this on my server with the php and the png in admin, the htacess in images, all set to the right chmod numbers, and when I load my page it won't load the actual image, not the watermark. Any ideas why?

[dakwegmo+]

Are the wrapper.php and watermark.png files in your /admin directory currently?
Did you modify the .htaccess file?

[owen-b]

Wrapper and Watermark are in admin, and .htaccess has been altered to reflect that.

Should I have left in the stuff in the htacess file about gifs and pngs? I basically only left the jpg-related lines in there and deleted the others, as they weren't ever mentioned by Vernon Trent.

What happens in Safari at least is that the spinner that depicts loading appears, then instead of the image jpg fading in, a 'question mark' icon (which means unavailable image or something in Safari) appears, and the name of the image is rendered in text at the top of the blank space. The template can still detect the image size though, interestingly, even though it can't display it.

Is this for myglasseye.net? When I go to http://www.myglasseye.net/admin/watermark.png or http://www.myglasseye.net/admin/wrapper.php I'm getting a 404 error message. If the files were there and had the appropriate permissions then I should be able to see them, or at least get different error message.

Also, the .htaccess file in your images folder should include at least this information:

AddHandler watermarked .jpg
AddHandler watermarked .jpeg

Action watermarked /pixelpost/admin/wrapper.php
