Troubleshooting: Assets don't have URLs // Statamic 3 Docs

Trying to output an asset’s details and url is just blank?

Perhaps alt text, even width and height work, but not url?
You might have something like this:

my_asset_field:
  - path/to/image.jpg

{{ my_asset_field }}
    <img src="{{ url }}" alt="{{ alt }}" width="{{ width }}" height="{{ height }}" />
{{ /my_asset_field }}

<img src="" alt="An image" width="100" height="150" />

That’ll be because your Asset Container’s disk does not have a url configured.

# content/assets/my_container.yaml
disk: assets

// config/filesystems.php
'disks' => [
    'assets' => [
        'driver' => 'local',
        'root' => public_path('assets'),
        'visibility' => 'public',
        'url' => '/assets', // 👈 you're missing this
    ],
]

Asset containers using url-less disks are considered “private” and will intentionally not output URLs.
