Refetcher doesn't find gallery tags

    Some of our old galleries have expired thumbnail links and therefore show as no image on the page. However, when you click you do get the full image pop-up. Facebook expires old URLs and some of our galleries were created many months ago.

    I expected the “Refetch” to solve the problem.

    Using the Refetch utility lists the posts for which it checks, but all of them show “No gallery tag found” although they all DO have gallery tags.

    1/68: California Philharmonic at Disney Concert Hall......No gallery tag found.

    I’m using the latest version. You can see galleries here:

    The newer galleries at the top of the page work fine, but older galleries (scroll to the bottom) do not. So I believe the issue is the refetcher isn’t working properly???

    Your post “California Philharmonic at Disney Concert Hall”, as shown in your example and which seems to be posted here (https://www.daytrippertours.com/blog/california-philharmonic-at-disney-concert-hall/), does NOT have a gallery tag…

    I use Refetch regularly myself and have never had a problem with it, & just by that one-line snippet of ‘not found,’ it’s doing what I’d expect (since your post with that title doesn’t have a gallery tag).

    You are right, my mistake in assuming it was reporting incorrectly.

    The plugin is correctly reporting those pages that do not have a gallery tag, but those who do have a gallery tag: All of the pages listed on this albums page are not refetched.

    https://www.daytrippertours.com/the-daytripper-experience/photo-albums/

    This one for example: https://www.daytrippertours.com/image-gallery/oregon-glories-2015/

    Interestingly, if I were do delete all the code on that page and “redo” the gallery link process from scratch, then the “update” does fetch the updated gallery code. So there’s a disconnect somewhere with the refetch.

    Is it possible that your refetch doesn’t test custom post types? My album pages are in a custom post type.

    SOLVED

    Justin, following up on my hunch that your code doesn’t check custom post types, I simply changed this line in your code to my post type: _admin_menu.php line 330

    ‘$pages = get_posts(‘post_type=image_gallery&numberposts=-1&post_status=publish,private’);’

    So, adding a nice little section to your admin page for a user to select which post types to check would be a very nice little addition to your plugin.

    After changing that, the refetch did exactly as it was supposed to. Thank you!

    In addition, another suggestion is to add a cron to automatically refetch galleries after a certain time period.

    Great, glad you got it.

    Cron: Please see FAQ #9.

    Cheers,
