If you are using PrestaShop 1.7 and you have the official watermark module installed, you may have noticed that when you enable "Logged in customers can see images without watermark" a bug occurs which means anyone logged in can not see your images!

Luckily the fix is very easy and is just one line of code to disable.

Step 1 : Log into your hosts file manager (or connect via FTP)

Open up your hosting control panel and look for a file manager application. Once you are connected navigate to the file modules/watermark/watermark.php and open it up to edit it

Step 2 : Comment out the problem line of code

Scroll down to line 298 and you should see

Options +FollowSymLinks

Add two forward slashes in front of the line like below

// Options +FollowSymLinks

then save the file

Step 3 : Regenerate image

Open up your PrestaShop admin and select Design from the left menu, then click Image Settings.

Once it has loaded, scroll down to the "REGENERATE THUMBNAILS" section and select "All" from the "Select an image". Toggle the "Erase previous images" to "YES" then click the "Regenerate thumbnails" button.

That's it. Once the regeneration has completed, your logged in customers will be able to see the product images.
