404 Error after renaming

Hi @stefanreinprecht,
I’ll try to replicate the issue, I usually don’t use the wp-content/upload folder so this could have prevented me from getting the error.

I’ll let you know as soon as possible.

Thank you for reporting the issue.

No 404 encountered during the test, can you tell me which url reports 404?

Hi @crossi72 I’m also encountering the same error. I believe the url that reports 404 is /wp-content/uploads/*.jpg
Fyi here is my plugin list,
-Beaver builder
-Duplicator (inactive)
-Smush (used before but currently inactive)
-Monsterinsights
-Kirki
-Mailchimp
-Woocommerce
-WP Mail
-WP forms
-Yoast
Kindly let me know if you need any more info to solve the problem.

We are using the standard WP folder structure for our image uploads the files are uploaded into date based folders (afaik a default WP setting). e.g /wp-content/uploads/2020/08/*.jpg -> after renaming, the file url is being stripped of these folders and is changed to /wp-content/uploads/*.jpg. The files are not moved on the server, just the File URL is changed.

Here are example URLs:
https://www.sattler-optik.at/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/brille-willems-eyewear-mousehole-gun-windsor-tiger-tortoise-ansicht-seitlich.jpg -> this is the file, sucessfully renamed in the folder it originally was uploaded.

https://www.sattler-optik.at/wp-content/uploads/brille-willems-eyewear-mousehole-gun-windsor-tiger-tortoise-ansicht-seitlich.jpg -> but the file url is changed to this 404 URL after rename

since the file url is a 404 the images dont show on the frontend.
example: https://www.sattler-optik.at/brillenmarken/willems-eyewear/

Hi @hikaruprince, hi @stefanreinprecht,
I found the source of the issue and fixed it, I’ll release a new version in a few hours (I need to do some more testing).

I just released version 2.2.2 that fixed an issue with media file organized in subfolders, let me know if this resolve your issues.

Hey,

thanks for pushing the update so quickly.

Unfortunately now I’m just getting the “File renaming error” when I try to rename an image. Even with all other plugins disabled. Tried it on multiple different files, no luck. Haven’t got any more info, nothing shows up in the console.

P.S.: I got rid of the 404s by just moving the images on the server where the error happened. So now they show up again on my site, at least.

Hi @stefanreinprecht,
I can’t replicate the “file renaming error” issue, it seems related to older version of Phoenix Media Rename.

If you still have this problem, can you send me a backup of wp_posts and wp_postmeta tables at [email protected], so that I can check if metadata has been broken?

Thank you
C.
