Everything is lost when plugins upgraded or move your site

    I have check main post is still in database, all post meta ( ich_cpt, ichcpt_settings) also still remain in database, but this plugins lost it functionality when you move your site or version upgrade.

    I have tried many ways (except touch plugins core files), but still no luck.

    Everything is lost, all hover that I have created before, both in wp admin or front end.

    I have read the others have same problem about a year ago, and now I know the problem still exists.

  • Hi,

    I had a similar issue and managed to fix it. Here is what happened:

    1. We needed to migrate our site so took an dump of the DB.
    2. We did a find and replace on the MySQL dump file to replace the site URL.
    3. When the site was imported into the new WP instance all of the image hover galleries were empty. Each gallery was show in wp-admin, but no images were listed.

    I spent some time looking at the wp_postmeta table ich_cpt rows. The meta_value rows store all of the image data. This data contains many fields. Each data item in the row contains a size value. When I updated the URL in the MySQL dump file I did not update the size of the URL field. This was the issue. Once I corrected the sizes the image hover wp_admin page was fixed and all the images returned. I just wrote an update statement to update the rows in my new DB.

    Eg:

    Before URL update
    s:44:”https://localhost/wp-content/uploads/test.jpg”

    After URL update
    s:46:”https://mynewdomain/wp-content/uploads/test.jpg”

    Notice that the size is now 46. If you dont update the size the plugin will break.

    Hope this helps you solve your issue.

    Hello Rameez Iqbal,
    Issue related to moving site has solved now:

    1. I deleted All image hover post
    2. Imported All image hover post from old site using WordPress exporter / importer tools.
    3. Now all image in post appear again, but we must update all image URL

    Thank you Alan, I didnt notice about the size when looking through my database.

    @rameez Iqbal, how can I change my stars rating. However the issue about version upgrade I have’nt tried again since I dont know where to find old version (at first I have to finding old version 10.3.2 because suspected the error about version compability) , but i guess its still remain.

    My issue happened when upgraded from 10.3.2 – 10.3.7 not sure which version having trouble, but i tried from plugins manager, it do automatic updating to 10.3.7.
