Images disappeared after update

    All the images for my downloads disappeared after the latest update.

    I am alsp using the free downloads add on, and it now forces the checkbox which says “When checked, users need to login before download, if they don’t, will be redirected to member page.” — to remain checked. There is no way to save it and leave it unchecked. Didn’t want users to have to sign up to download.

    After re-uploading images that disappeared for one download, I also cannot get the top image to show up again on the display page using this code, which worked prior:
    [downloads order="ASC" columns="2"]

    This is the page I have the downloads on: https://www.multirotorusa.com/3d-printable-multirotor-parts/

    Had to take the page off the main site menu. Never had these issues with prior updates. This was the first time I used the auto update button though.

    Thanks for any help!

    It seems that I am unable to set a featured image for each download after the update. So I think that is why the images no longer show at the top of the downloads main page. I have no explanation for why all my images disappeared though. Any advice would be appreciated.

    What happens when you try to set a feature image? Does it give an error? Does the image not save?

    Thanks Pippin, for each download – I no longer see where I can set the feature image. There is not an option on each download’s page to do so any more. Very strange.

    It is the first time I ever used the auto update feature too.

    Sounds like this is actually caused by your theme (not sure why it would suddenly change).

    To confirm, could you switch to the default theme for a moment?

    Sure enough, I changed the theme – reset the featured image, and then switched back to the original theme.

    So sorry to waste your time Pippin. It was piss poor programming on the theme creator’s part.

    Thank you so much for the help. Would you happen to know how I would go about phrasing a suggestion for them to fix the issue? In normal posts, the featured image option is there, just not present on download posts.

    No problem at all, happy to help.

    This is my guess:

    When the theme adds support for post thumbnails, it is doing this:
    add_theme_support( 'post-thumbnails', array( 'post' ) );
    They need to do just this:
    add_theme_support( 'post-thumbnails' );

    Thanks again Pippin! Will let the designers know.

    After updating it to latest version it appeared that was missing the .htaccess file. I created and added the file.
    Then, checking the website I had the same problem of missing the pictures.

    Then I went in my server via FTP and renamed the new .htaccess file and anything is again in place. So, the problem is in the file and not in theme or whatsoever. The instructions to be added are not correct in someway or create this conflict.

    I’m sure you can fix it, I’m not a developer but a simple user and I made several tests before write these few lines.
