As you can see in the picture below, icons do not show. They are missing on all pages, also on buttons. This does not change after emptying cache and rebuilding the menu. I've also checked the resource URL, and it seems to be correct. Do you have any idea, what might be the problem?

Thanks a lot in advance and best regards!!

  • What CMS are you using? And have you click on the "Refresh Dashboard Data" and clear your cache?

  • Dear @Kristine , thanks for your answer. I'm using CiviCRM on WordPress and I've cleared the cache already without changing the issue. Also refreshing the dashboard data didn't solve the issue. It's not a dashboard issue, rather the problem appears through the whole installation. Commented Sep 3, 2017 at 10:00
  • Check the paths: Administer -> System setting -> Resource URL and Admin -> S/m setting -> Directories and see if all of them are configured correctly Commented Sep 3, 2017 at 10:04
  • Dear @jitendrapurohit, thanks for your answer. The interesting thing is that I had to change the default URL after upgrading because otherwise the CiviCRM dashboard wouldn't load. But now it does load, so I guess the ressource URL should be alright. It reads netzwerk-n.org/crm/wp-content/plugins/civicrm/civicrm Commented Sep 3, 2017 at 10:36
  • Dear @jitendrapurohit, maybe you're right regarding the directories. The only problem is, CiviCRM doesn't allow me to change the directories' paths. When I try to change the tempory files directory's path from relative to absolute in the way I did it with the resource URL, it tells me that the directory doesn't exist... I'll try to go into the settings.php to see whether there's a mistake Commented Sep 3, 2017 at 10:48

Following my comment - You need to provide existing path in the resource url and directories page. Click the help icon to see the values of diferent global variables that you can make use of(civicrm.files, etc).

You can override these values in civicrm.setting.php file according to your paths. More info at https://civicrm.stackexchange.com/a/19498/245

  • Thanks again for your answer. However, the directories' paths must have been correct before already. Because when I changed the paths in the setting.php to random paths, CiviCRM gave me error pop-up windows right away on the dashboard. After changing the directories' paths again, the pop-up windows stating the errors didn't show up again. Furthermore, using the overriding function in the settings.php with the right paths – which I checked via FTP – also didn't solve the problem. Or did I get your comment wrong? By the way, the facebook photo doesn't seem to be related to the issue at all. Commented Sep 3, 2017 at 18:49

    Sorry, I pasted the wrong link before. Updated. Commented Sep 4, 2017 at 13:49
  • Thanks for the link. That looks interesting, I'll try it as soon as possible! Commented Sep 4, 2017 at 15:04
  • Thanks again, it actually solved the problem. Although I had to change the solution a bit. Instead of adding a global files URL and path to the setting.php, I only added the URL, because after also adding the path, the icons existed, but the extensions were gone. So instead of global $civicrm_paths; $civicrm_paths['civicrm.files'] = array( 'url' => 'https://example.com/foo', 'path' => '/var/www/example.com/foo', ); I only added global $civicrm_paths; $civicrm_paths['civicrm.files'] = array( 'url' => 'https://example.com/foo' ) Commented Sep 4, 2017 at 15:29
