I’ve done a ton of work on TimThumb this weekend and there are a few great enhancements. E.g. if you have pngcrush or optipng installed, it will now use 66% less disk space and give you comparable quality images.
Please grab the latest version of TimThumb on this page. Then let me know if you have any feature requests or find any bugs by reporting them here.
Here’s the TimThumb changelog since I released 2.0 about 48 hours ago.
Hi Mark
I ‘ve moved my website and the thumbnail.php file has disapeared, so obviously the images appears broken on my site. I am new at all this, so can you tell me what i should do and how to do it, so all the images from my blog can show up again…thanks
My issue with the “Timthumb could not find internal image” error and nginx was that the document root wasn’t set right.
My issue was that I needed to fix the location setup, the fastcgi examples on the nginx site were incorrect.
Hi, i had install the new version of timthumb( 2.8.10) in my wordpress 3.3.1 site and now i can’t see the image in the home screen and in the search and category page…what can i do?
please help me
Cheers mate! you’ve done a beauty!
I am using timthumb on one site and want to load a resized image into my php script to save it into a blob. But somehow the image cant be loaded. I thinkit is something with the query string. How would one load a timthumb image into php ?
Hello,
the problem persists in chrome and opera, while in ff and ie8 works fine. That is after updating to 2.8.10, emptying cache folder, giving permissions 777. Any ideas why?
Thx
Hey!
I’ve found a big problem: tinythumb (as of 2.8.5) can’t really cope with chrooted docroots. That is, for php the docroot is /home/html/, but realpath gives /chroot/home/html.
Solution: last line in the CalcDocRoot function should be:
$this->docRoot = realpath($docRoot);
i have upgraded from 1.14 to latest one.
the 1.14 vesrion is fixed version (http://code.google.com/p/timthumb/issues/detail?id=56)
degrading works fine,
i want to see thumbnails, but cant see any images as thumbnail,
operating system is ubuntu 10.10, ram is 1GB,
only fixed version worked with me, anything other not working with me
Hi,
sorry to join the masses submitting problems to you, however I no longer no what to do or where to look for help.
My site was loading images fine using TimThumb, then I did the recent update and everything stopped working!
Ive been changing the permissions (as per hundreds of online suggestions), ive reinstalled TimThumb, ive deleted and recreated image items, ive modified the timthumb.php file as per many online suggestions (resorting back to the original version after each update failed) but still can not get the site to load images in teh catalogue pages.
Am I able to ask for support please?
What is the cost?
Thanks in advance for repplying to this post.
Regards,
Jon

“The following error(s) occured:
No image specified”
I’ll appreciate any help!!
OK – I resolved this by going into my wp-content>plugins folder (via ftp) and removing one of 4 plugins that contained the timthumb script – in my case the 1st one I pulled (“connections”) brought my site back up
ditto – no help found in google search. Site is down! – what can we do to restore?

Hi mark,
I solved problem. cache folder must be 777 not 755.
Thank you anyway;)
Hi Mark,
I have already upgrade my timthumb (2.3) but it doesnt solve anything can you look at theese…

Why?
I have the same problem, and the same path if I open the img in a new window.
Mark, I can’t get mine to work at all. Running on a windows box with the latest version (2.8 of timthumb). No matter what the thumbnails don’t show up…any sugguestions?

I’m having the same issues. Any ideas?
Hi Mark. I can’t thank you enough for getting TimThumbs fixed and functioning.
I had a client’s website hacked thru the vulnerability (and luckily two that were not). I updated TimThumbs on all and cleaned up the crap files on the server. Everything was going well until today. Now when visiting my client’s site, I’m getting requests for “counter-wordpress.com”. Looking that up on whois, it’s registered to the same Archil Karsaulidze.
My client’s site is http://www.ken-a-vision.com, if you want to take a look.
Just wanted to post a comment here re Jim’s hack. The site was compromised and we worked together to fix it. The data hiding method the attacker used was a little different, so I posted about it here:
http://markmaunder.com/2011/08/18/two-techniques-to-scan-your-wordpress-installation-and-check-if-youre-hacked/
I have the same problem associated with using a src equal to a full url starting with http://www etc
What can we do to fix this please?
Hi Mark,
I have updated timthumb because of the latest rash of hacks but now on one site : mainequalityinformationpartners.com the timthumbed images are not loading. I see others had this problem and I was wondering if there was a solution I have missed. THanks for any help.
best
Chris
Chris when I access the image URL directory I get “bad request”.

I see you’re using Microsoft IIS. Can you check the error logs? Also enable debugging on line 26 and set debug level to be 3 on line 27 of timthumb. Send me any output you can either here on via email and I’ll take a look.
Thank you very much Mark! The latest script works great with absolute path. Much appreciated.
Thanks,
Vlad
Hi Viad
Can you tell me what line of the script you changed to make the absolute path.
Kant seem to get this thing working done all the 755 etc.
An I don’t see any post as to how to fix the issue.
Same here.. I have about 5 site updated cos of security vulnerability and now no images are loaded locally..
Andy as noted below I’ve been working with some of the devs that reported issues and they’re no solved. Please grab the latest version and you should be all set. (or email me at mmaunder at gmail for a fast fix).
Thanks again Mark! Everything appears to be working great now. Thank you for the fast and courteous support!
Daf
Hi,
Thanks for the work on the script. However, like Vlad, I’m having issues with the images. We are using the ENews theme from Elegant Themes – when I swap in the new TimThumb.php file all images disappear. The previous version worked fine for all of out themes – this one appears to have an issue. Can you please suggest a resolution? I’ve reverted back to the original for now.
Thanks
Daf
Thanks Daf. Can you post an example URL to timthumb? Working on this now.
This issue is now fixed. Please grab the latest version here and let me know:
http://timthumb.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/timthumb.php
Still not working here. You can find our site here: http://www.freshtothetable.com – I will e-mail you the username and password to get into the site. When you get there you will see a WP blog with the ENews theme. The feature and story thumbnails are what go missing when I upload the new TT scripts. I have reverted back to the original for now. But let me know if you need an admin into the backend.
Thanks
Daf
Just an update. I’ve been working with Daf via email and we’ve fixed the bugs he had. Please grab the latest version if you have any issues.
Unparalleled accuracy, unequivocal clarity, and undienlabe importance!
I managed to find where the problem is. The newest version of the script does not seem to work with an absolute path of the image.
Thanks Vlad. Can you post an example URL to timthumb that’s breaking? Or just email me at mmaunder at gmail. Working on this now.
Here is an example of timthumb not working with external urls. I’m using the 2.8.3 version, enabled the allow_all_external_sites. http://www.magazinebio.ro/timthumb.php?src=http://sb.shopmania.org/files/product/ro/1105/m_1104695.jpg&w=80&h=80
It works with local images.
Hi Mark,
I’ve upgraded the script today to the latest (2.4) version and currently having troubles to make it work. The images are not loadind anymore and all the files in the cache folder are being generated with filesize zero. Also if I load the url in the new window it returns an error: ‘A TimThumb error has occured (An error occured fetching image.)’. Does it have anything to do with PHP settings/extensions, as the old insecure version of TimThumb worked fine and I haven’t change any settings on my system after the upgrade to 2.4?
I would be very grateful for your help.
SOLUTION FOUND:
Apparently, there is an issue with temporary URL’s that Timthumb cannot cope with. As this was a site redesign, the simple solution was to register a $4 .INFO domain and laod the site onto that. Suddenly, everything worked as it should.
