ImageMagick

Please make sure that all the ImageMagick elements are installed and enabled on your Redmine. It could be checked in Administration - Information.

Permissions

Another thing that could cause the problem would be that the files folder, where the pictures are saved, does not have enough permissions and thus the images are not visible. Please check the below example.

When you select (upload) a new picture for a person avatar:

dimitar_avatar_person.png

Then it automatically goes to the files folder that is located in the main Redmine folder. The number of the sub-folder means that it is the month when it has been uploaded. In the example below it is 11, i.e. November.

So, please check if the permissions for this files folder are the correct ones because there could be not enough permissions set.
