   I signed up for a Bluehost account yesterday and unfortunately didn't choose the temp url to setup my site. Got that fixed. Then exported my site from your trial site and imported it into the new one. I am having issues with some of the images not showing, namely the slider images and the featured image of posts. All the images are in the correct files from the media library, there just not showing. I'm trying to figure out where the problem is and how to fix it.

   The site is:

   Hello coachingschool,

   Your getting some file not found errors, http://66.147.242.199/~coachis6/wp-content/themes/elegance/lib/scripts/thumb.php?src=http://66.147.242.199/~coachis6/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/Header_4_new.jpg&w=960&h=400&zc=1&q=100, which is most likely because of your temporary URL.

   Do you have plans on getting a domain name in the future? If so then getting a domain name should fix it.

   I do have a domain and am building the new site before I switch the domain over. So what I'm hearing is that I keep building the site out without knowing it will work and then flip the switch to point it to the new site hoping it will? Doesn't sound like good business to me...

   I sent you a note from the webhost saying that they said the issue was with the older TimThumb you had used. I tried to run an update but it kept failing.

   I need to figure out how to get it working.

   If your using the latest version of Elegance then you should have the updated timthumb script.

   I think the problem is that because of your temporary URL that it's not finding the correct path to your images. What do you have set in your Site URL in Dashboard -> Settings -> General? If it's different from your temporary URL then that is what could be causing the problem.

   Go ahead and PM us a Wordpress and FTP login and we'll take a closer look.
