Update WP to 4.5.2: Soliloquy lost current slider images and can't add more

    Hi
    I just updated WP from 4.4.1 and found that my front page slider suddenly wasn’t showing images. Soliloquy is creating the slider code on the page but the src for all the images is blank.
    When I checked its setup, there were placeholders for thumbnails but no actual thumbnail images showing.

    The problem showed up straight after the update (I keep a copy of the home page loaded in the browser prior to updates so that I can do a quick visual check for any layout changes/problems)

    I’m using Lite, so I tried adding more images to the existing slider with drag and drop. This appeared to work (an upload happened) but again only placeholders of the thumbnails showed up, and the new images also didn’t appear on the slider.

    I uninstalled then reinstalled the plugin and created a new slider. Checked that the images had uploaded into a folder (uploads/2016/05). But still thumbnails only showed as placeholders. I can see that soliloquy knows about the images associated with the slider – it creates the img tag with an alt referring to the image but the src is blank.

    I’ve checked permissions on the uploads folder and they allow for read and write etc but I suspect that something is stopping soliloquy from either making its own images and thumbnails but I’m not sure how to further troubleshoot this.

    Am using the most current version of the plugin, and my theme is a mod of Quark. Server is Apache, hosted by totalchoice.

    I’m leaving it as is for a day or two but will need to resolve it some other way before too long, so am copying the img code here:

    <img id=”soliloquy-image-79″ class=”soliloquy-image soliloquy-image-1″ src=”” alt=”Back door2-sm”>

    Hi Erica
    I assumed that support from soliloquywp.com only comes if you have purchased the full version. I just had a look and can’t seem to find a support area.
    I also assumed these WP forums are for the lite version and I could ask for support here.
    Please correct me if I’m wrong.
    cheers

    Further to the problem, I’ve looked for console errors in Chrome Developer and Firebug tools and there are no errors showing (although a JQuery migrate message appears), and removed all plugins with no change.

    I’ve also set up a clean copy of WP 4.5.2 on the same server, then installed Soliloquy lite and made a working slider, which seems to imply that there are not inherent problems with PW 4.5.2 or with server permissions in general, but the problem is specifically to do with doing the update on that site.

    I’m expecting that I can solve the problem by doing a backup then installing a clean copy of 4.5.2 and recovering, but I will leave it as is for the moment in case a solution comes to light and it is helpful to others.

    Hey Stu,

    Yes, we try to address all Soliloquy Lite issues through the forums; however where the issue may be more involved it can be more prudent for us to deal with it through our support department.

    If you’ll select the Contact menu link at https://soliloquywp.com/ we will receive your email in support.

    Thanks!
