    If you are not familiar with TimThumb or the Bradford Magazine Theme for wordpress, there is a feature where when you upload an image for a post, it automatically crops it to the correct size and displays it as a featured post and everything.

    Unfortunately, it is not working for my website, as you can see. Do you have any idea why it is not working? I have checked tons of tutorials and forums and cannot seem to fix it...

    Please disregard -- it was a problem with hostgator.

    I'm on Hostgator as well and I'm experiencing the the same image display issue the the "Magazeen" theme for WordPress. Were you able to solve this issue? If so how?

    With some hosts (ie: hostgator), you need to add certain rules to mod security and whitelist the domain. Contact them via chat or send them this exact message, replacing DOMAIN with your own domain name:

    "Can you please add the following rules [ 1234234,340151 ] to mod_security for www.DOMAIN.com and please whitelist for the domain. I need this for timthumb.php to work. Thank you."

    Hope this helps. :cool:
