    Hi
    I am testing image sizes and tried regenerate thumbnails.
    The following message returns when i try to regenerate thumbnails for one image:

    ERROR: The file with the full-size image could not be found in your Upload-Directory ../wp-content/uploads/2018/02/gtb_9783898091114.jpg. Without this file thumbnails cannot be created.

    In the plugin (class-regeneratethumbnails-regenerator.php) i printed $this->fullsizepath. and it returns the following path:

    /Applications/MAMP/htdocs/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/../wp-content/uploads/2017/12/gtb_9783492200134.jpg

    The path is not correct.

    I checked the directory and found the image.
    What am i doing wrong here?
    regards theo

    p.s.: Just to compare, i made a quick test with the plugin ?force regenerate thumbnails?, and this worked out well.

    That’s… weird. There shouldn’t be double periods in the path.

    Have you done anything special, such as defining any path constants in your wp-config.php file?

    What’s the value in the database? You’ll find it in the post_meta table with the meta_value of _wp_attached_file.

    Hi – thanks for responding.
    W3 total Cache adds this to wp-config.php:

    define( 'WPCACHEHOME', '/home/name/public_html/www.name.ch/name/wp-content/plugins/wp-super-cache/' ); //Added by WP-Cache Manager

    and at the bottomm of the same file i see:

    //Disable File Edits
define('DISALLOW_FILE_EDIT', true);

    But i don’t think that this has an effect???

    I checked db according to your instructions:

    xxx_postmeta > meta_value no such thing as _wp_attached_file

    In my db the images live in xxx_posts with a post_type of attachement.

    I checked with another db and found in xxx_postmeta under meta_key the value _wp_attached_file and the corresponding url.

    So, i guess something is wrong with my first database. However the site works.
    Thanks for your care.

    regards

    Hi – problem resolved. Since i get all images programmatically i forgot to add:

    update_post_meta($attach_id, '_wp_attachment_file', $fileurldb);

    Your plugin works fine. Sorry for the disturbance.
    regards

    Thanks for your care. All the best and thanks for the plugin.

    I have the same problem. Could you please guide me where to insert update_post_meta($attach_id, ‘_wp_attached_file’, $fileurldb); ?

    Hard to say. In my case i had to put it in a plugin, that i wrote. How do you get the images?
