    Hello,
    I have about ~100 images(~400 with thumbnails) that are in the wrong /year/mo/ folder due to being uploaded directly to a post that had the wrong date set(this was a few years ago and prior to WP 4.9), is the free version able to move these images and their thumbnails to the correct /year/mo/ folder without any DB issues? I’m sorry if the answer is obvious, but I just want to be sure.

    Thanks!

    Yes, it should work. You should do a test moving of an image first to insure that it correctly updates links in a post or page. Note that this only works with files embedded in posts and pages.

    Alright, thank you!
    I know what post that has all the images in the wrong date folder, doing a search&replace on that post won’t be too difficult. As long as they’re moved properly on the server, along with DB, keeps all tags and metadata in the media library I’m happy!

    Just in case, is there a log file somewhere that I can keep a tab on while it’s moving everything to ensure nothing’s wrong?

    No, there is not a log file.

    Sorry to bother you again, but will I need to regenerate the thumbnails after moving? They’re all thumbnails in that post.

    Yes you can generate thumbnails site wide or within individual folders. In a folder, select all image and click regenerate.

    I meant if the thumbnails are going to stay in the old folder or move along with the photos(or maybe they’re removed?). Not really a huge issue, just good to know before I try it out.
