@kb4i You have to logint o your myphpadmin in cpanel on your hosting company. Click your database, then SQL and paste those words in the SQL query box, and click “GO” . but backup your database before you do it to be safe.
ok thanx a ton! thx DanStudio works like a charm 😉

Is having similar problems. All thumbs gone.
I imagine there might be a few more thumbnail plugins having issues too.
update_attached_file( $thumb_id, $new_file );
from misthero seemed to work for Auto Post Thumbnail on new thumbnails.
Anyone want to expand on if there is a key code that’s changed in the WP update that might lead to some fixes on other plugins?
@dave i don’t use that plugin but the logic is the same, just change the variable names to reflect the one used in the function:
that should be:
update_attached_file( $idimg, $fullsizepath );
add it after line 258 (thumbnailforexcertps.php), the result should be like this:
wp_update_attachment_metadata( $idimg, wp_generate_attachment_metadata( $idimg, $fullsizepath));
update_attached_file( $idimg, $fullsizepath );
again, i don’t use that plugin, and don’t know if it works, try it and good luck.

@gothickmatt Your first method worked for me thanks!
Hi,
I used this SQL query
DELETE FROM wp_postmeta WHERE meta_key = ‘_thumbnail_id’;
with this all attached images thumbnails working but youtube videos thumbnails are not working.
Adding update_attached_file( $thumb_id, $new_file ); to the plugin file seems to be the best solution. I’m actually using the auto featured image plugin but they seem to be very similar.
I’ve found with auto featured image that whilst the solution works and attaches images to posts, all auto generated images are still unattached. This doesn’t seem to be a problem just now though perhaps will be in the future.
@misthero Just tried out your code and so far so good on thumbnails for excerpts too!
Excellent stuff, and many thanks for putting in the time to look.
I’m putting the whole thing through some tests to make sure there’s nothing else being effected. But it all looks good so far.
I’ll post on the excerpts plugin forum too with full credit to you.
Many thanks again.
i put this code in sql and executed (Go) DELETE FROM wp_postmeta WHERE meta_key = ‘_thumbnail_id’;

Hello Folks,
If the original developer Aditya who worked with us when he developed this does not respond in a few days I will fork this and provide a fix
Bit confused.
I added the code to the plugin file.
Is there not some query I can run to re-attach all the old thumbnails back to their posts.
Otherwise supposedly I have to :
Delete all my old thumbnails from /uploads
Run SQL query to delete them as featured images
Run Auto Post Thumbnail again to generate thumbnails.
I remember that when I first ran autothumbnail it attached the full size images into the posts and not thumbnails. So I ended up having to manually add everything.
tariquesani tks!
Since I’m not a programmer, only a final user, an update is going to be nice. I think it’s not safe for me to mess with the page codes after all 🙂
Same here. I’m in need of an update for this plug-in…don’t dare touch any code. Hope one is coming soon. Thx
Download a fixed version from here
It just has the fix as outlined by misthero – so all thanks to him. As usual all caveats apply! Keep a backup of your database and cross all your fingers etc 😉
I do intend to develop this further and add a few features but that is for another day. Do let everyone know how this goes
