Wordpress - Images not showing up in the Media Library

Question

I have a huge problem with my Wordpress  My uploaded images don t list in the Media Library   It is weird tho  it says I have 75 images  but display none  Take a look yourself     Even weirder  if I go into gallery  the images you uploaded in the page itself   the images list just fine   I already tried deactivating all my plugins  didn t work  Cache can be easily put out of the question  because it happened on at least 4 different computers  with Macs  PCs  and navigating with Safari  Firefox and Chrome   Another interesting fact is that if I upload the image directly trough the computer  with the  From Computer  tab   everything goes fine  Another website on the same server works just fine too  And just to add to the complexity  when I go to the media page in the Wordpress Admin  all images show up just fine   Oh  and before I forget    applying any filters  or doing a research in the media will always come up with the same problem   So there    that s where I m at

Check Screen Options  dropdown tab in the upper right hand corner of the page   and make sure there are sane settings for what to show on screen  All the column settings should be checked  and there should be a positive number of media items being shown on screen   If that is ok  then check Settings   Media and make sure that Uploading Files folder is set to wp-content uploads   I believe these are the only settings that can be changed from the administrative screens

Did you ever change the directory of your Wordpress install   I had a problem with not finding my uploaded images after changing the Wordpress location on my server  In Wordpress  I went to Dashboard-  Settings -  Media and changed the uploads folder in the  Store uploads in this folder  field

Ubuntu stores uploads in  var lib wordpress wp-content uploads   So what you need is to have this directory within your wordpress installation  Something like   sudo ln -s  var lib wordpress wp-content uploads  var www www mysite com wp-uploads    replace mysite com with your domain  the file should exist  should do the trick    Note that I ve not tested this with multiple wordpress installations on one server    Further note that to make upload work at all  but this wasn t the question   you need to change Settings   Media   Store uploads in this folder to    wp-content uploads    no leading slash

I had a same problem just now  with missing media library images for my blog  The images appeared to be right there in the media library and were definitely on the actual web server  checked via FTP    As Allen Z advised I did  check Settings   Media and make sure that Uploading Files folder is set to wp-content uploads   Mine were set to the default blank  I altered this to an absolute path http   www example com wp-content uploads  THIS DIDNT SOLVE THE PROBLEM when I refreshed the site in browser  However  I immediately changed the path back to blank  the default setting again  and everything came back  Woop  Everyone having this problem might want to try this before getting into the more technical fixes

Considering the files were not uploaded via media uploader  they are present in the server but there s no reference to them in your database  in a little more detail    In order to fix it  install the Media Sync plugin  Once it s active  under Media   Media Sync   Scan Files and select the files you want to import by click the checkbox next to them  Make sure also you untick the selectbox Dry Run  test without making database changes    Then  when the time comes for you to be ready  just click  Import Selected  and you should see something like this    Once it is finished  you can visit Media   Library and you ll see all your imported files there
