Feed in WordPress shows box w/ red 'x'

I have an RSS feed for my main photo galleries here: http://gallery.ryancentric.com/rss.php?lang=en_US

It shows fine when I look at it on that link, but on my WordPress-hosted blog the images do not show (but clicking the empty box will take you to the correct image).

Blog is located here: http://justfrances.com/ with the images on the right-hand column.

The images showed fine until this summer when the ZP site did an automatic upgrade. I wonder if it changed my RSS settings from the zp-core/admin page, but I am NOT savy enough to 1) mess with back-end HTLM coding or 2) to know which boxes should be selected or what values should be used.

I am happy to create screenshots of my admin pages if that will help.

Thank you!!
Frances

    Zenphoto is not capable of doing automatic updates at all. If you use any install scripts we can't help (see the forum rules for details).

    You did neither tell what Zenphoto version you use nor what you use to include those images (note all of the Wordpress plugins/tools are third party so we can't support them).

    I guess you will have to provide a bit more informtion. I looked at the blog link and do not see any missing images.

    I am on version 1.2 [5479] (Official Build)
    Default theme
    PHP version 5.2.6

    I've moved the 'offending box' with the photo errors to the top, right-hand column so that no scrolling is needed to see the error.

    I've tested on Safari, Firefox and IE - all with the same box with red 'x' instead of image.

    I've replaced MY RSS link with another RSS image link (http://www.photo-wizard.net/feed.php) and it works fine, as does random Flickr feeds.

    I am certain that it is something with my admin settings, but have tried so many combinations on the zp-core/admin sites RSS tab and I don't know which combination is the 'right' one.

    I am further happy to work with an administrator there at ZenPhoto for a solution and am happy to pay for that service. (I don't know if that option is available?)

    Thank you for any guidance!

    Sorry, but I do not have an answer. I did check the HTML. The link used for those images seems correct and indeed if I use the URL of the img src directly I get the thumbnail image. So something is preventing it from loading as an img src link. 'Fraid I do not know enough about how all that might work to suggest what might be wrong. But I am pretty sure that sinc the link works directly it is not being caused on the Zenphoto end.

    Might be permissions issue. I currently don't see the feed anymore. Could you reenable it so I could take a look again. Also how does the feed look like you use with this? (All feed options can basically be set via url).

    Also since Zenphoto 1.2 the RSS feeds generated have been improved quite a litte and some smaller XML issues have been fixed that might now cause this with a newer Wordpress.

    I don't know as well but a good chance would probably be to upgrade to the recent Zenphoto.

    Generally paid service is available but first we help to help yourself..;-)
