I recently relocated and entire intranet site to a new server and during the process, I am unable to get Bio Pictures to display. The first error is:

ERROR: The variable has not been set.

SUCCESS: Entry has been updated.

ERROR: The $img_path variable has not been set.

I have changed permissions on the uploads folder to 777, I deleted all the entries, folders, and even uninstalled the plugin (althout I don’t think I deleted all the content to perform a ‘fresh’ installation).

Could anyone provide me some insight on this? I tried all the other Topic solutions to no avail. Thank you!

Is the site a single site or multisite install of WordPress? If you do not know, then it is a single site install.

Go to the Connections : Dashboard admin page and scroll to the System widget.

Do the values for the following constants appear to be correct:

• CN_IMAGE_PATH
• CN_IMAGE_BASE_URL
• CN_IMAGE_RELATIVE_URL

Did you define or change any of these in your wp-config.php file?

Did you define or change the value of the WP_CONTENT_DIR or any other core WordPress path related constants in you wp-config.php file?

Here’s what I got, which is all the same location.

CN_IMAGE_PATH: /opt/bitnami/apps/wordpress/htdocs/wp-content/uploads/connections-images/
CN_IMAGE_BASE_URL: /wp-content/uploads/connections-images/
CN_IMAGE_RELATIVE_URL: /wp-content/uploads/connections-images/

Additionally there is no WP_CONTENT_DIR in my wp-config.php file. Would that be advised to add?

The error is that the CN_IMAGE_BASE_URL should be the full URL, not the relative URL. IE. http://site.com/wp-content/uploads/connections-images/

During the site move, did you add WP_CONTENT_URL to the wp-config.php file? If you did, this must be the FULL URL to the wp-content folder with no trailing slash.

Here’s the relevant page in the Codex:

Well, you have several critical errors in your wp-config.php file…

The values you have set for WP_SITEURL and WP_HOME are unsafe and should not end with a trailing slash per the Codex. And even more importantly, I suspect those path are not correct.

Although not a major issue, you then set these constants to '' right afterwards. Since you cannot redefine a constant after it is declared they do not do anything but it will throw PHP notice message in the error log (if configured). You should remove them.

The path you have set for WP_CONTENT_DIR has a trailing slash and should not per the Codex.

Also, the path that is set for WP_CONTENT_URL is suspect. As I said previously, if this path is not correct, Connections will not be able to find the images and set the image path.

Generally, unless you have some very unique WP setup, you are better off not setting the WP_SITEURL, WP_HOME, WP_CONTENT_DIR and WP_CONTENT_URL constants manually. You should let WP configure them.

CRITICAL

Not even sure how your site is working at all because this line is all wrong:
define('ABSPATH', dirname(FILE) . '/');

It should be:
define('ABSPATH', dirname(FILE) . '/');

This can also definitely break the ability for Connections to find the image and properly set the image path.
