    Hey guys,

    Last week all of the images on my website suddenly disappeared. They no longer show on the website and I’m unable to attach new images to existing or new posts due to an error message:

    Does anyone have any clue as to why this has happened? Literally nothing was changed other than adding new content.

    Thanks.

  • Do you still have the images on your server? If so, I believe it might be a database issue.

    Hey Dev,

    Thanks for such a quick response. All of the images are still on the server inside the uploads folder. How would I go about fixing a DB issue? :/

    Thanks.

    I realize that but I was hoping someone here could shed some light on the issue and seeing as Dev responded with what appears to be valid info, it can’t hurt to ask right?

    I don’t think this is a theme related question Andrew.

    Are you using CPanel?
    – Click on MySQLDatabases
    – Click on ‘Check database’ if any tables shows an error
    – Click on ‘Repair database’

    I don’t think this is a theme related question

    Oh – it could be…

    @sabosmith: Have you tried:

    – deactivating all plugins to see if this resolves the problem. If this works, re-activate the plugins one by one until you find the problematic plugin(s).

    – switching to the Twenty Twelve theme to rule out any theme-specific problems.

    resetting the plugins folder by FTP or PhpMyAdmin. Sometimes, an apparently inactive plugin can still cause problems.

    – re-uploading all files & folders – except the wp-content folder – from a fresh download of WordPress. Make sure that you delete the old copies of files & folder before uploading the new ones.

    I checked the DB and it did bring back a few errors, quick repair and everything is back to normal. You’ve made my week.

    Thank you so much for your time and have a very merry Christmas! 😀

    Your very much welcome. I’m not a Christian though so I don’t celebrate Christmas. But you have a Merry Christmas. Don’t forget to back up your database right now.
