Dear Joomlaworks Community and K2 Developers,

When I go to a Tag View listing page, the intro text and images before read more appear fine. However, if I click out and immediately return to the same page, all the images disappear. This does not occur in K2 Category View pages.

The site is currently online @: www.zhongwenmovies2.zhongwenmovies.com/

Please click "Movies" and "Action". Then return to "Action" again and you should see what I mean.

Can you please help me resolve this?

Thank you!

Additionally, it only happens when not logged in.

When logged in, the images always appear.

Can you try using a different template?

Hm, it doesn't seem really possible. Nothing appears.

Perhaps because all the content is highly customized for that particular template.

Doesn't seem to be sef related either.

Have you used overrides or is the core template edited?

I use a custom.css file that's manipulated via template manager. Beyond that, I've only had to make slight changes in the size of the template gradient (based on the developer's advice) and small color changes in layout.css.

Are you uploading your images through K2's image tab? Are you using a word limit?

Hi Krikor,

To answer your questions:

1. Yes, I am uploading through K2's image tab or directly via K2 media manager.
2. I'm sorry but I'm not sure what a word limit is. I can say that I am building a Chinese language learning & movie site, so when I insert an image into a K2 item, I go into the Joomla image manager and add an alternative text and (in advanced) a "title", which actually controls the "tool tip" upon hover, and in those two places I add Chinese script.

With all that said, at first I thought I had already ruled out sef and url rewriting as the culprit. However, I just turned them off again to double check today and the images seem to be appearing again. Therefore, it could be related to SEF and URL rewriting...

An online article that discusses this issue says:

As a rule, the URL rewriting on the page must happen after the content is generated on the website, and before the cache. This means that under Extensions – “Manage Plugins”, you need to make sure that the order of the Joomla SEF plugin is after all the content plugins, but before the Joomla Cache plugin.

So I checked my plugin manager and found that the order of plugins is:
Content
System Cache
System Sef

Where as the author indicates the order should be:
Content
System SEF
System Cache

I would "make sure the order is correct" but the author does not say how to reorder the plugins so they're "ordered correctly."

Appreciate your advice.

The System Cache plugin should be placed at the very end, so the order seems correct.
