Try confirming the url paths are what you expected. Can you hard code a path that works? For debug, try this

<p>{{ pet.url }}</p>
<p> add hard coded path to image that works </p>

Hi Chris, I do not know how to hard coding, but I can view the picture if I use online url instead of uploading my own image

What I mean by “hard coding” is using literal strings for values instead of variable. “Hard” in the sense of unchanging.

So, is there a static string url that points to where the uploaded images reside.

Also checkout this StackOverflow post for ideas.

alright thanks
