zomblogger on "Why are SOME files in the WP Uploads Folder Web-Accessible and SOME are Not?"

$

Hello all,

My Website: http://zomblogger.com
Relevant Security: wp-content folder security is OFF.

I ran into a problem with the NGFB app and Facebook Debugger that led me, after 4 days of research, to the following:

In the folder http://zomblogger.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2015/08 some image files are web accessible while some produce a 403 Forbidden to Access error.

I encountered this problem trying to use the NGFB app to share posts to FaceBook and other social media.

With the aid of some of the people at Facebook Developers Forum, we discovered that the og:image tag was giving a 403 Forbidden error.

The permissions on all of these files are the same as far as I can tell.

The one thing I have noticed about the inaccessible files is that they seem to be autogenerated resized copies of my original uploaded image and all of their file names end in the dimensions followed by a 1. For example: http://zomblogger.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/15418062_mtest3-150x1501.jpg

Can anyone explain what app or WP function would be creating these images, and how I can make them accessible so I can use them as default, featured, or other images that will share correctly to FB and elsewhere?

Again, the folder is accessible and the file permissions appear to be equal for all images in the folder.

-JRS
