I suspect once the site goes live, the issue would resolve itself.
My best guess is one of following…
One, the document root can not be determined automatically. So you have to manually set the DOCUMENT_ROOT here’s how:
Add the following to the timthumb-config.php file 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 the wp-content and on will NOT be part of the doc root.
Two, some server setting is preventing the script from reading the images and if that is the case, I do not know what that could be. Maybe a rule in the .htaccess file or something your webhost has configured. If you have any security related plugins installed, perhaps they’re blocking content.
I hope that helps point you in the right direction.
