Some Featured Thumbnails are not Displaying

Hi Clayton,

For some reason, when WPP attempts to fetch the featured image of some of your posts wp_get_image_editor() -the function that WPP relies on to create the thumbnails- is responding with File doesn't exist?, so the thumbnail isn’t generated and the plugin falls back to displaying your default thumbnail instead:

<ul class="wpp-list">
    <li class="popular-post-items">
        <a href="https://example.com/the-top-5-raw-pet-food-trends-for-2018/" title="The Top 5 Raw Pet Food Trends For 2018" target="_self">
            <!-- File doesn’t exist? -->
            <img src="https://example.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/Dogs-Naturally-1-935x487.png" width="90" height="40" alt="" class="wpp-thumbnail wpp_imgeditor_error wpp_featured" scale="0">
        </a>

        <a href="https://example.com/the-top-5-raw-pet-food-trends-for-2018/">
            <h6 class="popular-post-title tc-custom-scroll">The Top 5 Raw Pet Food Trends For 2018</h6>
        </a>

        <div class"popular-post-divider"=""></div>
    </li>
    ...
    ...
    ...
</ul>

Things I’d try:

• Disable all of your plugins -except for WPP- and check your site again. WPP will try to generate a thumbnail if it can’t find an existing one. If the thumbnail is generated successfully, then one of your plugins is causing the issue.
• Check that the thumbnail actually exists in the server.
• Edit the WPP_Image class -responsible for generating the thumbnails- to add some debugging code: place error_log( $path ) in the image_resize method to see what’s actually being passed to wp_get_image_editor(). You can find this class in wordpress-popular-posts/includes/class-wordpress-popular-posts-image.php. (This assumes WP_DEBUG is enabled and configured to output messages into debug.log)

I’ll give both of those a try! Thanks Hector!
