Images breaking after update to 0.6.0

Hello there and thank you for pointing out the problem!

It seems that the urls of images, like https://connweb.com/blog/wp-content/themes/dynamik-gen/images/content-filler.png and https://connweb.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/dcp_00012.jpg, lead to a 404 error. I have a suspicion. Could you send me the Adaptive Images part of your .htaccess file to check it out?

Here it is:

# BEGIN Adaptive Images
#=======================

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>

RewriteEngine On

# Watched directories
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} /blog/wp-content/uploads [OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} /blog/wp-content/themes

# Redirect images through the adaptive images script
RewriteRule \.(?:jpe?g|gif|png)$ /blog/wp-content/plugins/adaptive-images/adaptive-images/ai-main.php [L]

</IfModule>

# END Adaptive Images

Thank you very much!

Well, seeing the RewriteRule \.(?:jpe?g|gif|png)$ /blog/wp-content/plugins/adaptive-images/adaptive-images/ai-main.php [L] it seems that you are using some quite older version of the plugin, or that the plugin settings have not been updated during plugin updates.

Do you think you can make sure you are using a clean latest version of the plugin and tell me how it goes?

Just to explain things a bit more:

We used the RewriteRule \.(?:jpe?g|gif|png)$ /blog/wp-content/plugins/adaptive-images/adaptive-images/ai-main.php [L] up until version 0.2.08, which was a very early version. Since then a lot has changed. We tried to make the updates as seamless as possible. But updating from 0.2.08 straight to 0.6.0 does indeed require from the user to save their settings anew. I believe we have put an update message that says so, too.

If that is the case, we are sorry for the inconvenience. I hope things work as expected by now! ??

Actually, I’ve updated every single update that came along. I’ve got a piece of code in the functions.php of my theme that automatically looks for plugins to update and then updates them as needed.

This is a problem that has occurred on every WordPress site I have (over 30 of them). All of them are auto-updated at all times.

So no … we haven’t been doing huge jumps in version numbers.

Alright, I see what might have happened. You had the plugin installed since version 0.2.08, where that piece of code still existed. The plugin was automatically updated, as you have just explained. But during one of the updates we required by the administrator to go to the plugin settings and manually save them anew! Is it possible that this step might have been skipped and that the settings were not saved manually at that time?

It is the only way this makes sense and it also explains why saving the settings once again “kicks everything back into gear”.

PS: You have Adaptive Images installed in 30 of your websites? Wow, this is really something! Are all 30 of them OK right now? Is there anything more we can do to help?

Hello, again,

Is everything working alright now? Should you encounter any problems in the future, do open a new ticket or simply this one!

Cheers,

Actually, I did manually save them anew whenever requested to do so.

After deactivating and reactivating the plugin on each site, things are working for now. I’ll let you know if it causes further problems.

Yes, I like what the plugin does. It’s a tremendous help for speeding up a website.

Great!

The action of manually saving the settings anew was only necessary when upgrading from version 0.2.08 to version 0.3.0. So, if there is a bug there I would very much like to catch it!
