Files gone; sync won't work

    – I’m running WP 3.9.2 with the following plug-ins:
    Akismet 3.02
    Auto-hyperlink URLs 4.0
    Custom Admin Bar 1.3.1.1
    Description 2 Caption 1.1
    Extended Comment Options 2.6
    Obfuscate E-mail 3.2
    Pretty Link Lite 1.6.5
    WordPress PopUp 4.6.1.1

    – I installed WordPress Flash Uploader 3.1.3 and activated it, but didn’t run any part of it

    – Checked my site — no images showing! Media Library appears empty!

    – Checked my …/uploads/ subfolders — all the jpg files are gone!

    – Deactivated the plug-in

    – Added the alternate cron line to wp-config.php

    – FTP’d my back-up images up to the …/uploads/ subfolders

    – Re-activated the plug-in

    – Still no images showing on the site, and the Media Library appears empty

    – Went to Dashboard / Media / Sync Media Library

    – It shows many files to be imported, so I click “Import Files to Media Library” button

    – It appears to import each file, and when it finished, it said that all files are in sync, 0 only in upload folders, 0 only in Media Library

    – But still no images showing on the site, and the Media Library appears empty

    – I went to the Sync Media Library page again, and now it says:
    “No files found which are not already in the media library.”
    Files in upload folder and media library which are in sync: 0
    Files only in upload folder: 0
    Files only in media library: 0

    I can’t think of anything else to try, so tomorrow I’m going to rebuild the site from backups.

    But if the detailed description of the problems above help point the way to any fixes to this plug-in, I’d still really like to use the Sync portion! (Not interested in the Uploader portion, so I’d like to see the two plug-ins offered separately.)

    One more note:
    The reason that the Sync Media Library page reported all zeros in the last step, above, was that all the jpg files were once again missing from the …/uploads/ subfolders. It appears that running “Import File to Media Library” (when it seemed to report that everything got imported OK) actually deleted the files.
