Don’t think they were using WPML, I think they’re just a bit not-to-smart about it and uploading the same image like 5 times, once for every post they upload. Forgetting it’s already in there.

I get that the plugin could delete the trash, after deleting the plugin. Not my favorite either (in this case, usually I’m a big fan of deleting every bit of code from a plugin that’s removed).
But that did not happen here, so that’s why I was confused. There was a plugin on the website the whole time. Either the free or the pro version.

Most of the times both were present on the site, and I think something must have gone wrong there. With an old trashcan still on the site, and the pop-up that mentions both plugins are activated I maybe did make a mistake somewhere.

I’ll rename the old trashcan and make a new one for now. Back-ups are a bit tricky as I’m constantly rebuilding things in the website and adding media items for other pages. By the time I notice a problem I’m already 10 back-ups in the future. Back-ups are great when nothing else changes, and this is not one of those occasions.

Could it be that it’s somehow connected to an older trashcan and put the images in there and then lost connection with that? Because I’m finding way more images in the trash than I ever put in there. Maybe there was already an older database in there?

Or because I switched to pro, back to free and the key was deleted? And deleted that free (not pro, that was)

Because if i understand why the disconnection happened, it will help me in doing this again, it’s for a customer site and I do not want to lose any data. There’s just SO MUCH images, SO MUCH duplicates. It’s a complete mess.

I did not click on that. And I the files are still there. They would be gone if I deleted the database, so that’s not what happened.

Putting back a backup is not an option anymore, since the website is being build and a lot of changes has been happening already. I simply did not count on this de-connection to be happening.

It’s making me questioning of returning the Pro version, because this is a site with lots of images, and putting 10 images back as a trial is not the biggest deal. But running the plugin again for a big chunk of images is something I’m not comfortable with after this error. Cannot fix hundreds of images.

Ok, did it. Don’t really understand GitHub, but tried to copy this request to GH.

I would also like an allow list for countries. It would be very helpfull.
Unfortunately I do not have a GitHub account, and I do not plan on having one anytime soon (GH scares me…), so please be aware of this request from people that do not understand GH.

Thanks!

@jmcelhaney I also tried that, at the same moment I posted this message. Still no response…
I’ll try again, but it’s getting more urgent, I need help asap. The forms don’t seem to be really gone, just invisible somehow. THey still work on the front-end, but I cannot adjust anything on the back-end, and applications are not reegistered.

It works now (for some time already) somehow my comment didn’t appear here.
