All 2x links lost!

    Suddenly this morning, WP Retina 2x lost all @2x image links! This is a nightmare as I have hundred of pictures. I’m using v2.4.0 with all the default settings.

    What could cause this? The only thing I did last evening was install two plugins to track Amazon affiliate links, EasyAzon and EasyAzon Pro, but I can’t imagine that would affect it, right? I have disabled the plug-ins, but that didn’t help.

    What do you mean by “lost all @2x” links? The plugin cannot lost them because it doesn’t store them anywhere in the database. The files are created, then they are used if present. If deleted, renamed or anything, they are not use and nothing will be broken. If required, the plugin can re-create those files.

    I checked your website and it looks very good on Retina, and the files are @2x. I am not sure what the problem is ??

    Hi Jordy, thanks for responding. Yes, they look good because I had to relink them all right away to fix the resulting ugliness.

    Anyway, I still have not figured out what caused it because my staging site is fine after all the same upgrades and plugin installs.

    BTW, if you don’t store the info in a database, is there anyway you could create a premium version that would store all settings so we could instantly restore @2x links? I would hate to see this happen again when I have a lot more than the 200 pictures I had to fix today.

    Happy New Year!

    I believe you made a mistake somewhere, I am not sure what you are talking about with the “linking”, there is no “links” between anything in this plugin (that’s also why there is no need of a specific table in the database). There is no “restoring” retina file neither since there is no need for it. The “links”, if any, are always obvious such as cat.jpg -> [email protected]. If they were all destroyed (by what? another plugin?) WP Retina 2x can re-generate them all (through the dashboard).

    But actually I think a misunderstanding somewhere…

    Anyway ?? Happy New Year to you too! ??

    Sorry, I’m not entirely clear on how you generate @2x files without actually having an @2x file present. I now create @2x files and drag them to the standard resolution items in the WP Retina 2x list.

    Are you telling me that due to your JavaScript “black magic” I don’t have to do that? I can simply have you generate hi-res versions without having to create @2x files?

    If so, that would indeed save me a lot of work. In the past, as you know, we had to upload an @2x file in the same directory as the original image.

    Hope that clarifies my understanding.

    Exactly ??
