Unable to regenerate thumbnalis

    Hello,

    I’d like your point of view about something that I did and that’s not working :

    I am now working on a site that already exists and has a lot of unused plugins and stuff. So I decided to create a new and clean wordpress installation.

    Then I added the pages for the new site, new plugins, and so on.
    Eveything is fine.

    But I’d like to get the former blog content. So I exported the articles using WordPress export function, as well as the media files.

    I got 2 xml files.

    I imported the xml files related to the articles : it went ok.

    Then I tried to import the other XML file to import media files and… I got some errors. I don’t remember the exact error but what i did is : i tried the import on my local site and itr worked fine.

    So I decided to :

    – Import the XML file on my local site
    – Export the wp_posts of type attachment from my local site
    – Copy the image files from the original site inside my new site wp-content/uploads directory
    – Import the SQL dump containing the attachment records inside my new remote website

    Eveything is ok now on my remote website : I can see all the media inside WordPress library. But there are no thumbnails displayed.

    So I decided to install your plugin.

    The problem is that I always get the same error :
    ID de la pièce jointe ignorée 8724 (les-ultraViolettes) : L’image en taille réelle ne peut pas être trouvée dans votre répertoire ? uploads ? sur . Sans cela, de nouvelles miniatures d’images ne peuvent pas être générées.

    Which means :

    ID of the attachment ignored 8724 (les-ultraViolettes) : The image in real size can’t be found in your directory “uploads” on . Without it, new thumbnails can’t be generated.

    Do you see what could be the issue ?
    I must say that the original fine IS located inside uploads directory.
    But according to the error message, it seems to be something missing.

    Could you please help me ? I thought my procedure was ok but it doesn’t seem to be the case. What could be wrong ?

    Thanks for your help.

    Regards,

    Hello!

    If I understood correctly, you imported locally and migrated to your site only the wp_posts table from the database, correct? The attachments also contain some important information in the table wp_postmeta.

    If you make it locally and migrate it to your site, I’d recommend making it with the whole database. Otherwise, you can have some weird problems with missing information. Or you could try again import it directly to your site.

    I hope it helps you! ??
