Try to change the folder access rights to 775, I'm not sure that it will solve the problem because the images are well displayed in frontend.. Can you give us a screenshot of the problem in backend ?

Any help in this regard will be much appreciated. Regards Neil")* Hi Xavier, thanks for your reply. For the time being I've just re-added the category and product images again as I had to get this site ready for the client earlier today, but the problem is a bit perplexing as the rest of the product info and category info ports across correctly but within the actual hikashop product/category set up on the remote site that image is not mapped at all to the product or category and only the default image shows where you apload the images for each, I'll test it again with a new site because we will be using the hikshop module for our e-commerce quite extensively and see what happens. Perhaps the folder permissions are the problem. I'll get back to you on this post when I set up one of our new sites with hikashop on localhost and then upload it to a remote server, and see what happens, but for the time being that site that this post referred to is working again after reloading the images. Thanks again Regards.

Did you check your configuration for the "upload folder" path ? (Configuration > Main > Files) ? You can also check the content of the table "hikashop_file" which contains the images url (which should be relative path from the upload folder) Regards, --- Jerome - Obsidev.com HikaMarket & HikaSerial developer / HikaShop core dev team.
