Swatches not updating

[wood1e]

Hi, 

I have just been uploading some new colour swatches for a client, using FTP.  As it is a little quicker than completing through Admin.

But I have just noticed something with one swatch, even though the swatch.png is a different colour, and when uploading it overwrote the previous .png and checking the image URL, the colour swatch remains the same as previous not the updated version. 

So I upload via product admin to make sure I wasn't going bonkers...and still the image isn't updating. 

Has anyone else come across this before?

Hi,

It may be folder permission issue. Give 777 permission to that folder.

Hi, 

Sorry for the delay in responding, the media folder already has

I have just uploaded a new image called pharoah.png

The image URL on the website (inspect) is http://www.mywebsite.com/media/catalog/swatches/1/26x26/media/pharoah.png

So I have FTP'd the image pharoah.png to media/catalog/swatches/1/26x26/media/ 

And the image has not changed on front end. 

Then I tried it in the magento admin. but instead of uploading via OCnfigurable product I uploading into the simple product for the colour pharoah.png and it worked?!? 

IT is highly confusing?!?!?

Just tested some more and it seems if I upload an colour swatch image via 'product description' in product admin the colour option image gets uploaded to here:

media/wysiwyg/swatches 

I have been FTPing here: /media/catalog/swatches/1/26x26/media

I deleted from /media/catalog/swatches/1/26x26/media and now there is no image here:  /media/catalog/swatches/1/26x26/media

and yet the URL of the image: http://www.synaxistheta.co.uk/media/catalog/swatches/1/26x26/media/pharoah.png  is still showing there is an image on the server at the URL where I deleted the image.

But now image on front end. 

So I then upload to /media/catalog/swatches/1/26x26/media

And the old image returns, http://screencast.com/t/svKDMrRoQcxW even though I have upload a new image same name different colour!! 

It is driving me potty!!!

Here's another issue same problem...

This is a product with a 'Duck Egg' colour option, but if you select Size: Single, you get a different image for 'Duck Egg' than you do if you select any other size available in the drop down?? 

http://www.synaxistheta.co.uk/egyptian-cotton-oxford-duvet-cover.html - this is the product, I have checked the URLs of the image and it is the same whatever the size selected, but the colour option for Duck Egg is definitely changing?!?!
