No one says that you need to modify the .htacces and add the directory in the rewrite condition. I've created a directory "public" in the root directory alongside with "system", "application", "index.php". and edited the .htaccess file like this:

RewriteCond $1 !^(index\.php|public|robots\.txt)

Now you have to just call <?php echo base_url()."/public/yourdirectory/yuorfile";?> You can add subdirectory inside "public" dir as you like.

I just wanted to add that the problem may be even simpler -

I've been scratching my head for hours with this problem - I have read all the solutions, nothing worked. Then I managed to check the actual file name.

I had "image.jpg.jpg" rather than "image.jpg".

If you use $ ls public/..path to image assets../ you can quickly check the file names.

Sounds stupid but I never thought to look at something so simple as file name given the all the technical advice here.
