Trying to render an image field using Flexslider. The image filed carries 1-10 images.

My images are located here >>

/sites/default/files/

The slider shows up with missing images. When I right click to go to the image path, I get

Error generating image

The path for the missing images is

?q=sites/default/files/styles/flexslider_full/public/

Any help would be appreciated.

I would love to know about this too. I'm getting a similar error, though not in reference to this module.

My issue was fixed by changing the permissions on the files/styles directory to "others" having write permissions.

Very large images sometimes also failed to pull into Flexslider for me, and I noted an "error generating..." error. Resizing these allowed them to display.

Be sure to install PHP GD extension. This solved the problem for me.

I had this issue too, the thumbnail couldn't display correctly in the edit page, but the image display fine on frontend. fixed by giving change permission to files/styles to 777

Check Status report (/admin/reports/status) and fix any red warnings sometimes it will lead you to fix the problem.

Had this issue when pulling the site locally from git on Drupal 8.7.3. All I needed to do was delete everything within the /sites/default/files/styles folder. These get automatically regenerated when you visit pages using these media styles and that should fix the problem.
