Visitors can't see photos on my SharePoint site

Hi,

 

When I create a SharePoint site and pages, people I share it with, can't see the photos I post on my page. It keeps reporting errors. Either I post the in a gallery or if I post only one photo, it wouldn't load for anyone except for owners or people with full access to the page. But obviously I do not like the idea, that if I want to show the contents of a page to someone I have to give the full access, I would like for then just to be viewers and to be able to download certain documents. 

 

Am I doing something wrong? I didn't find the answers to that anywhere else so I'm asking you to help me out.

 

Thank you.

    Is permission inheritance broken on the library where you uploaded the photos?

     

    Make sure visitors have at least Read permissions on the photos & document library where you uploaded the photos.

     

    You can check the library permissions from Library settings --> Permissions for this document library

      Thank you, I figured what the problem was. I was supposed to set the permissions in two separate places and now it works.

      Thank you for all of your advices.

        pplevnik Where were the 2 locations that you changed the permissions?  I am having the same issue.

      I uploaded the photos to the site and then published the site itself. Was I supposed to publish photos separately and if yes, where / how can I do that? jcgonzalezmartin
