Latest update:

I tried to force an update by changing the slug of the main calendar page from “calendar” to “diary” (which is what I really wanted the URL to show anyway), and suddenly everything started working.

All the event pages are there and show the right things. ??

The only thing not quite working is the Google Map thumbnail which is grey with a locator pin and Map/Satellite buttons. It only shows the actual map and the +/- buttons when the page is scrolled slightly.

I also tried the solution suggested to @tvalleau below who was getting 404 errors where I was getting the home page.

Now I get a 404 error instead of the home page, and the URL has changed to:
https://wp.pinballnews.com/ai1ec_event/saratoga-pinball-show/?instance_id=6

Thanks Benjamin.

I tried that but it made no difference. Every click on an event still takes me back to the site’s home page.

The URL shown in the browser is (I guess) correct. For example:
https://wp.pinballnews.com/event/saratoga-pinball-show/?instance_id=6
but it still shows the home page.

Ah, that’s because I am using the Import External Attachments plugin which copies all the external images in a post into the root Media Library, from where I move them to the appropriate folder.

For new posts with new media images, I will certainly do what you suggest.

Thank you, that is very interesting.

Is there any documentation of how to name files so that this doesn’t happen in future? I didn’t see anything in the FAQs.

I ask because I have files named:

kingsandqueens11.jpg
kingsandqueens12.jpg
kingsandqueens13.jpg

which I thought would be OK, but they mess up if I try to move any/all of them. I can only move them by uploading them one at a time and then moving each file before upoading the next one.

Thanks.

Thanks, but they do have different names.

100.jpg is the low-res version,
100a.kpg is the high-res version.

It seems WordPress Media Library Folders is unable to tell them apart.

This was the naming convention in the 2,000 HTML pages and 30,000 images I am importing, so relinking everything is going to be… tricky. ??

Thanks for the reply.

I think I have worked out what fails.

If I have six images called:

100.jpg
100a.jpg
101.jpg
101a.jpg
102.jpg
102a.jpg

(where 101a.jpg is a high-resolution version of 101.jpg) and I try to move those six images from the Uploads/date folder to a custom folder, all the ones WITHOUT the “a” on the end of the name – 100.jpg, 101.jpg and 102.jpg – will move correctly, while 100a.jpg, 101a.jpg and 102a.jpg all fail with File Not Found errors.

If I ONLY move the 100a.jpg, 101a.jpg and 102a.jpg files then they move correctly, and I can then move their 100.jpg, 101.jpg and 102.jpg counterparts separately.

But combine all six into one move operation and it reliably fails on every “a” version.

Also, it seems I have to move the “a” versions first and then the non-“a” ones, or the same errors occur.

This appears to be totally repeatable, with no way to recover other than to delete and re-upload the failed files.
