Wordpress Error: A TimThumb error has occured

Question

I've encountered an error after installing wordpress onto a new domain. I've contacted the theme developer and have had no luck resolving the issue.

I receive the following error when i copy the image link:

Warning: touch() [function.touch]: Utime failed: Permission denied in /home/domain/public_html/wp-content/themes/folioway/core/thumb.php on line 190 Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /home/domain/public_html/wp-content/themes/folioway/core/thumb.php:190) in /home/domain/public_html/wp-content/themes/folioway/core/thumb.php on line 413 A TimThumb error has occured The following error(s) occured: Could note create the index.html file. Query String : src=/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/CoffeetabeBox-custom_web1.jpg&w=187&h=187&zc=1&q=90 TimThumb version : 2.8.2

I have not modified anything else aside from some CSS.

The thumbnails do not appear on the pages, however, the images do appear in lightbox.

I have set the permissions to the cache folder to 777, but this has not resolved the issue.

Any help would be greatly appreciates. Thanks.

Answer 1

It happened to me too, and this is the second time!

If you don't have time to discover why, but you want to keep it working, just rename, or delete your /cache folder; then, create a brand new /cache folder, set permissions to 777, and it will work again.

Answer 2

I found that the cache folder this is referring to is the one within the same folder as timthumb.php - find that file and the related cache folder and give the cache folder 777 permissions.
