Images and wiki links have disappeared for writers - the wiki is unnavigable
I have uploaded many images which I have put in tables on various pages to provide as links to other pages in my wiki .
When I log in as the administrator the images/links all appear and the pages and tables are how I designed them. However, when I log in as one of my writers these images and links to other pages have disappeared and the tables have been reformatted. The small boxes to show that there was an an image or link in place are not even present which means that my writers can't navigate round the wiki and subsequently can't use it.
I have just upgraded to the classroom edition and am discouraged that this has happened.
What immediate solutions are there to allow my writers to navigate around the wiki and use it as it is meant, and to restore links and images that have been created?
Looking forward to hearing from you.

I’m sad because my student can't use the wiki

Inappropriate?Hi Moja,
It's likely that the pages and files (images) that you are trying to share with the Writers are either not filed in a folder or are in a folder that the students don't have permission to see.
Please read our user manual about setting up permissions on folders.

Thanks Cliff. I've done what you suggested and the problem has been sorted out.
I was under the impression that I needed to put these administrator images into a separate folder to make them unaccessable to my writers but I know understand that this is done automatically in the classroom edition. Can you confirm this please? -
Inappropriate?Hi Moja,
Don't assume that the files being placed anywhere automatically if you need to protect them from prying eyes.
The best way to be sure that your files are placed in a folder that you choose is to go to the "Pages and Files" interface, then choose the folder you want to work in from the left panel. This places you "inside" of the folder you've chosen.
Once you are "inside" a folder, any uploads are going to drop into this folder. You will be able to see them appear in the list as they upload.
If you've chosen a folder that your editors and writers don't have permission to use, then they won't see the files or images. You can always change the folder security settings if you need to share them again.
I’m hopeful that this helps
