Hi Wayne Wilson ,
I'm glad to hear you got it working with FileZilla, As for the blob storage, you're right if you're not using a caching plugin like W3 Total Cache, you might not need it for your WordPress site.
Regarding the issue with W3 Total Cache and your images disappearing, this is a common problem that can occur due to several reasons:
- Cache Propagation: Sometimes, it does take a bit of time for the cache to propagate. However, if the images are still not showing after a reasonable amount of time, there might be other issues.
- Incorrect Configuration: Ensure that the settings in W3 Total Cache are correctly configured. Misconfiguration can lead to images not being displayed.
- CDN Issues: If you're using a CDN (Content Delivery Network) with W3 Total Cache, make sure the CDN is properly set up and that the images are correctly uploaded to the CDN
Check your. htaccess
file for any incorrect directives that might be affecting the display of images
Minify Settings: Sometimes, the minify settings in W3 Total Cache can cause issues with images. Try disabling minification for images and see if that resolves the problem
