Images not Showing in blogs

    Hi there,
    I used the Duplicator plugin to migrate from a test site to a live site. This was giving me problems with file size (1.2gb) and so I removed backups and media before using the Duplicator to copy over the new site onto a fresh install of wordpress.
    Ass seemed great until I went into the blogs and found that none of the images are showing.
    They are in the media library and show in the blogs, but there are different descriptions of the files – they have different dates. So in the new new versions of the site, nothing shows.

    Is there a way to fix this without going into each blog and inserting the images?
    Cheers

    Hey Mrlennyman,

    If you filtered out the media/image files from the package, then you have to manually move the files. I didn’t detect that you did that from the info above, is that correct?

    Hope that helps!

    Hi Cory,
    I did use Filezilla to move the files over afterwards, but it seems like they are not connecting like they should. It is like the links are broken or the folder locations are a little different.
    For example, on this page
    https://www.fatbegone.com.au/kick-start-the-new-you/?tve=true
    the image link is:
    https://www.fatbegone.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/fitball.jpg
    and I can see in the Media Library that the image appears, however it has different URL:
    https://www.fatbegone.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/fitball.jpg
    I am pretty stumped on what to do to resolve this.
    I appreciate your time.

    Hey mrlennyman,

    Did you happen to save the permalinks after you installed the new site? That maybe the issue. Also checkout this question on the FAQs page I believe it may help or provide some clues about this issue:
    -> Browse to: https://lifeinthegrid.com/duplicator-faq
    -> Find question: “Why are some of my plugins/images/links not updating?”

    Hope that helps!

    Hi Cory,
    Yeah…I have gone over everything and I think I have the permalinks saved correctly and everything else done right.
    If you click on the image that isn’t showing in a blog and look at the custom URL, it is the exact same as the URL of the image which works when I add it in again.
    It doesn’t make sense to me, although I am not an expert by any means.

    The permalink date format may have something to do with it since one is in April and the other is October. The plugin would never change the path name of a directory from “04” to “10”. I think this has something to do with the inner workings of permalinks and WordPress and the date format. I’m not quite sure how it could have gotten into that state to be honest…

    The same as my problem.
    How to fix it?

    Ok.I fix it.

    Hi guys!
    I’m having the same problem on my site in the footer section, where some graphics didn’t load properly. I think duplicator missed that section for updating URL location. Here’s what I did to resolve.

    from Admin Page (www.websitename.com/wp-admin)
    click Appearance tab > then Editor.

    Now for the tricky stuff.

    Look for the section on the page where the image isn’t loading properly under Templates on the right side of the Editor page. In my case it was the “Theme Footer”.

    Now, browse through the lines of code and ensure that img src functions are pointed to the correct folder location that they now currently reside in. EXAMPLE:

    <img src="www.websitename/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/contact_us.png” />.

    I too used duplicator, but it didn’t seem to update those URL’s in the THEME FOOTER, and I had to update them manually. They immediately worked afterwords. I really hope this helps you guys out!

    *Note on my previous reply on the thread*

    If your moving from live site to localhost, then the img src should be similar to :

    https://localhost/localhostsiteurl/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/contact_us.png.

    you need to tell the browser to search localy first if you want it to load from your local resources!
