Image references not updated

Hello!

Any news on this one yet? The plugin does not seem to be working at all for us right now.

Thanks.

Hello Marcus,

I am using the plugin on my side with no problem, and some others do to. I probably have to take some time off in order to really look at the problem and try to replicate it on my side… time that I don’t have.

However, I would really like to make it works for you and for the people who experience the same issue. Would it be possible to give me more pointers? Or can you create a website from scratch somewhere (a blank version of WordPress, fresh, without any plugins except this one) on which I could experience the bug easily (with access do the admin)? That would really help and I could work on it ASAP. I actually tried yesterday on a fresh new install on my host and I didn’t have the issue.

Hello Jordy, thanks for your response.

I’m helping a client with this for an existing WordPress site, but before doing anything major on the main site we’re testing it on one of their “sub-sites”, which is a completely separate WordPress website (on another server) for one of their projects. This secondary site has the issue, but we have yet to give it a try on the main site (for fear of breaking it; it has thousands of images and posts).

That’s pretty much all I know right now. I installed it on the test site and uploaded a test image. I tried to change the name, and it *did* rename the file properly on the disk, but never updated any reference in WordPress, so the image doesn’t display properly anywhere (including in the media library itself).

In short, it renamed the file on the disk but didn’t update the WP database at all.

I can’t install it on the main site right now, which is where we really need it, but I’ll go ahead and set up a fresh test site ASAP to see if it’s happening there as well.

The test site does run WPML, btw, if that helps, and so does the main site. Since it works for you and so many others, it’s probably a plugin that’s interfering, I guess? All their sites are heavy on the plugins.

The plugin works with WPML, however are you also using WPML Media? Because I have never used this one and I have no idea what it does exactly. The plugin works perfectly with the base WPML module though, I have been using it for 2 years or so.

Could it be WPML Media then?

Yep, the site has WPML Media installed. I have to confess I wasn’t sure what it did either; it was installed on the site when I got here (I didn’t build the site, just doing some fixes now). From here it seems it pretty much copies the DB entries for all attachments so they’re available across all languages, so I’m guessing that may very well be interfering with this plugin. That said, I haven’t tested it on different languages yet, it was broken on the default language so I never proceeded to test multiple languages. Any thoughts on that?

Thanks!
