I'm having some problems on a WordPress site I am working on: http://bit.ly/1Hs41z8

TimThumb generates the thumbnails in the bottom section of the site just fine with no issues. However, in the slider, the thumbnail images are broken. When I look at the URL, it looks really long and complex so I am not sure what is causing it to break. If I go to the image url itself, the image loads fine.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

TimThumb is no longer supported or maintained. You can read the reasons why on blog: TimThumb End of Life.

See what Google say's

I would suggest you to use PHPThumb.

From PHPThumb:

phpThumb() uses the GD library to create thumbnails from images (JPEG, PNG, GIF, BMP, etc) on the fly. The output size is configurable (can be larger or smaller than the source), and the source may be the entire image or only a portion of the original image. True color and resampling is used if GD v2.0+ is available, otherwise paletted-color and nearest-neighbour resizing is used. ImageMagick is used wherever possible for speed. Basic functionality is available even if GD functions are not installed (as long as ImageMagick is installed). One demo file uses portions of Javascript API by James Austin.

  • I'll look into switching but might not be able to before the festival (it's in September). I am using the Wordpress featured image code so I am not sure why TimThumb is activating on the site. – butterscotch Aug 07 '15 at 12:21
  • are you using any plugin ? – Noman Aug 07 '15 at 17:26
  • I was able to solve it using the built in WordPress the_post_thumbnail code and swap out the TimThumb code. I still have the timthumb.php file on the server. Should I just delete it? – butterscotch Aug 09 '15 at 22:32
  • it is upto you, if you sure there is no use of timthumb then just delete it. – Noman Aug 10 '15 at 05:04
