Older images gone in WPP wp-content folder

    Hi,

    I use wpp_get_mostpopular() to generate a html list of popular posts in order to manually insert them into a post. I recently noticed that all older posts created that way show broken images.

    After further investigation I noticed that the “wordpress-popular-posts” folder in wp-content only includes images for the last month or so. Is this intended and/or is there’re an option I missed triggering this?

    Also, in order to fix this, is it possible to call the original featured image URL via wpp post parameters?

    Cheers,
    Thomasd

    Nope, not the intended behavior at all. WPP will create new thumbnail images on-the-fly when needed and store them there – as it always has.

    Maybe there’s a file/folder permission issue preventing WPP from storing new images there?

    Hi there,

    Thanks for the feedback. New images are created just fine, only old ones are missing. I switched servers recently, I’ll investigate if some non-WP files haven’t been moved.

    Is there a way to use the actual WP featured image instead of WPP-created ones?

    Cheers,

    There is. Follow these instructions but adapt the solution so it returns the featured image of each post instead of an ACF.

    That looks perfect – thanks!
