Picture doesnt appear in Overleaf

Does anybody know how to set up commands for displaying pictures in Overleaf? I was searching everywhere but I found nothing. This is what I'm currently using:

\graphicspath{ {images/} }
\usepackage{graphicx}

\FloatBarrier
\begin{figure}[H]
  \centering
  \includegraphics[width=\textwidth]{imgname}
  \caption{Caption text}
\end{figure}
\label{fig:}
\FloatBarrier

It is displaying a white rectangle with the image name in it:

white rectangle

Can anyone help me?

It may be due to a long name of figure in the Overleaf environment. For example, naming a figure with "Blockchain - Smart Home (Authentication) flowchart update.pdf" was a long term issue until it was renamed as "b1.pdf" and updated accordingly in the editor before displaying the image properly; hence, resolving the issue. There is no specific Uniform Resource Locator/link as it was a practical experience as seen in LaTeX (the figures attached showed when the names were "too long" and "optimized" respectively enter image description here enter image description here

The initial setting you should verify is whether the compiler is in Normal mode rather than Fast (draft) mode. You can find this setting in the drop-down menu under the Recompile button. The Fast (draft) mode is designed to expedite compilation by skipping certain steps, but it may not display included images as a result.

The error lies in not specifying the [final] option in the graphicx package (the [draft] option will give the same error as well). This option does not allow overleaf to load the image properly, to fix the problem you should put the option [final] in the graphicx package, so the line should look like this:

\RequirePackage[final]{graphicx}

Was figuring this one out for an hour now. I didn't notice there were instructions in the template I was using in Overleaf. It worked when I commented them out.

If you wish to display your graphics for your own use using includegraphic or includegraphics, then comment out the following two lines of code. NB: These line must be included when submitting to BMC. All figure files must be submitted as separate graphics through the BMC submission process, not included in the submitted article.

%\def\includegraphic{}
%\def\includegraphics{}

I had the same problem and I found a solution by removing "babel" package.

If you are using overleaf , then go to the compile button and select Normal instead of fast(draft) from the dropdown menu. The image will appear allright then. Here is a link to the solution : https://www.overleaf.com/learn/how-to/Images_not_showing_up

The following minimal example replicates your behaviour:

enter image description here

\documentclass{article}

\usepackage[draft]{graphicx}

\begin{document}

\begin{figure}
  \centering
  \includegraphics[width = .5\linewidth]{example-image}
  \caption{A figure}
\end{figure}

\end{document}

Note that the option draft has been passed to graphicx. It may also be the case that you \usepackage{graphicx} without the draft option, but that you have

\documentclass[...,draft,...]{<class>}

Identify where you have draft passed to the class/package and then remove it.
