Downgrade WordPress 3.4/ Post Thumbnails Not Generating (11 posts)

    Can someone provide me instructions on how to downgrade to my previous version of WordPress prior to 3.4?

    None of the image thumbnails for my posts (past and new ones) are generating any longer. I have tried a few fixes recommended online but they have not worked. Is there a solution to this?

    Please help! :(

    Did you make a pre-upgrade database backup?

    I am assuming the answer is no since I don't know how to and did not do that prior to upgrade. Would my server host have a pre-upgrade database backup possibly?

    Also would the downgrade resolve any issues caused by the upgrade?

    If you had made a database backup, you would know about it. Without that backup, you cannot downgrade to an earlier version of WordPress.

    Would my server host have a pre-upgrade database backup possibly?

    You would have to ask them about that but once you go beyond 24 hours, the chances recede fast.

    Not necessarily. It depends upon what the issues where and what caused them.

    My post thumbnails are no longer generating when I share via Facebook share or paste the link to Facebook. It's all text; no image.

    The only changes I can think of are the WP 3.4 upgrade and I switched from PC to a Macbook Air. Do you have any thoughts on the possible problem and solution?

    It could be your Facebook plugin. You are using one, yes? That said, Facebook are a will unto themselves and I often see these kinds of issues when there has been absolutely no change at WordPress' end - leaving you unable to do anything about it. :-(

    I've upgraded to 3.4.1 and now I cant edit the widgets page.
    All was running fine until then!

    Not using any plugins here, and running into the annoying issue as well.

    functions.php obviously has the very simple:
    add_theme_support( 'post-thumbnails' );

    and theme has:
    <?php the_post_thumbnail(array(50,150));?>

    I have a couple of wordpress installations I work from - 3.3.2 and 3.4.1 - and thumbnails work fine in one (3.3.2), but not the other (3.4.1). Only thumbnails without spaces in the file name will display properly. So, if I have a loop that shows 20 of the most recent posts, it comes out dappled with thumbnails.

    Suggestions? :(
