ParticipantI received the error connection images and cache folders were not writable through the dashboard yesterday and have been unable to get the images to appear correctly since. I tried updating the folder permission to 755 and 767 without any luck. The error has since gone away (after changing to 767) but the images are not loading in the directories.
Thank you

Sounds like a document root issue. Can you please share a link to your directory so I can take a look?
Try…
Change the permissions of the following folders and files to
767:
../wp-content/connection-images/
../wp-content/plugins/connections/cache/
../wp-content/plugins/connections/cache/index.htmlIf that does not do it, try:
Add the following to the
timthumb-config.phpfile found here:../wp-content/plugins/connections/includes/libraries/timthumb/This is what you need to add, make sure to change the doc root accordingly:
define ('LOCAL_FILE_BASE_DIRECTORY','/my/doc/root/');What
'/my/doc/root'will be, will depend entirely on the server setup. If you go to the the Connections : Dashboard admin page and look at the the System widget; there will be a constant named CN_PATH. The doc root should be the beginning portion of that path. What I can tell you is that from thewp-contenton will NOT be part of the doc root.07/22/2014 at 12:32 am #297729Phillip

Can you double check the permissions? This is the error I see being presented when I visit the link:
The following error(s) occured: Could not create the index.html file - to fix this create an empty file named index.html file in the cache directory. Could not create cache clean timestamp file.This just about always indicates a permissions issue.
