I am having this problem with Oxwall. Whenever I upload any photo or video, I cannot see it again. As long as the link is in the newsfeed, I can see it but after that I cannot see it when I go to the videos or photo section. I have set my privacy of photo and video to "My friends". But I cannot see my photos and videos. My website is http://www.goplugged.com. Any help will be highly solicited. 

Thank you.

Nirmalya, which version of Oxwall do you have? And did you do any changes in the code?

I've checked on my installation  ( latest one) and when I set "My friends" in my privacy settings for "my albums" I was able to see uploaded images in "latest" photos block. But on  your site they are not being displayed for some reason.

I have a similar problem but with videos from Youtube URL's only.  Images works fine.  I have two installations without any additional plugins yet, videos work on one and not on the other (installations on seperate servers.

Nirmalya, Victor, can you send me your site URLS ( I know Nirmalya's already) and upload phpinfo.php to your servers, so that we can see your server settings?

Nirmalya, try modifying your .htaccess file by adding the following code there:
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !/phpinfo\.php

It sounds like there may be a configuration issue with your Oxwall installation. Here are a few things you can try to resolve the issue:


Check the Oxwall settings: Make sure that the settings for photo and video privacy are set up correctly. You can check this by going to the "Privacy" section of your account settings. Make sure that you have set your privacy settings to allow your friends to view your photos and videos.


Clear your browser cache: Sometimes, your browser's cache can interfere with the display of images and videos. Try clearing your browser cache and refreshing the page to see if this resolves the issue.


Check for any plugins or themes that may be causing the issue: If you have recently installed a new plugin or theme, it's possible that this may be interfering with the display of your photos and videos. Try disabling any new plugins or themes to see if this resolves the issue.


Contact Oxwall support: If none of the above solutions work, you may want to reach out to Oxwall support for further assistance. They may be able to provide additional guidance on how to resolve the issue with your video thumbnails.
