Product Images Not Displaying in Journal Theme

1. Check Image Path and File Name:
   • Ensure that the product images are uploaded correctly and located in the appropriate directory.
   • Go to System > Tools > Image Manager in OpenCart and confirm the images are present.
2. Verify Product Image Settings:
   • Go to Admin > Catalog > Products.
   • Edit the product and ensure the image is assigned in the Image tab.
   • Save the product to update the database.
3. Review-Journal Image Settings:
   • Navigate to Journal Control Panel > Skins > Product Grid or Product Page Settings.
   • Ensure the “Image Dimensions” fields are filled correctly (e.g., 300×300 pixels per your preference).
4. Regenerate Thumbnails:
   • Go to Journal Control Panel > Tools > Cache and regenerate all image thumbnails.
   • Clear the cache and refresh your store to check if the images load.
5. Check File Permissions:
   • Ensure the image folder and files have the correct permissions.
   • Use an FTP client or file manager to temporarily set the image directory permissions to 755 or 777 for testing.
6. Inspect for Broken Links:
   • Right-click on a missing image and select “Open Image in New Tab” to check the URL.
   • If the link is broken or leads to a 404 error, the path to the image might be incorrect.
   • Update the image paths in the database if needed.
7. Test with Default OpenCart Theme:
   • Switch to the default OpenCart theme temporarily to determine if the issue is specific to the Journal theme.
   • If images appear in the default theme, the problem lies in the Journal configuration.
8. Disable Third-Party Extensions:
   • Disable any extensions or modules related to images, as they might conflict with the Journal theme.
   • Test the site after disabling it to see if the images reappear.
9. Clear Cache:
   • Clear both Journal and OpenCart caches.
   • Also, clear your browser cache or test in an incognito window.
10. Update Journal and OpenCart Versions:
    • Ensure your Journal theme and OpenCart versions are up-to-date.
    • Update them to the latest versions if not already done.
11. Check Error Logs:
    • Go to System > Maintenance > Error Logs in the OpenCart admin panel.
    • Look for any errors related to image loading and address them.
12. Contact Hosting Provider (if necessary):
    • If none of the above solutions work, contact your hosting provider to ensure there are no server-level restrictions affecting the image files.
