Product images are uploaded in admin panel but cant be seen in the front view

Question

I have magento 1.8.1.0, when adding products the images are uploaded in the admin panel but can't be seen in front view of shop. Have checked the images are stored in media/catalog/product/ folder. Have refreshed the cache and checked, removed the .htaccess file in media folder, checked folder permission is set to 777. Please help.

Answer 1

It turned out to be the theme's issue, when i switched the store view to default theme, I was able to see the product images. I have contacted the theme author for the fix.

Answer 2

Check 1) Make sure that you have selected one of the image as Base, thumbnail and small image, in the Backend under Images.

Check 2) If still issue, try in your catalog/product/view.phtml

var_dump($this->getProduct());

and see if you are getting image urls in the dump?

Answer 3

I increased the php_value memory_limit in .htaccess file to 512M, and currently i'm able to see images in category view page but see placeholder images on product view.
