Broke my site

    This plugin broke my site. Changed naming of image to lowercase. Now WordPress tries to show the image with uppercase some places, and lowercase in other places.

    Too many hours wasted restoring from backup afterwards

    The page I need help with: [log in to see the link]

    I am sorry this happened to you. Are you using a page builder? Also, very important: after the renaming, did you clear all your caches everywhere? (if not, indeed, all the links would be a mix of the old ones and new ones).

    I’m not using a page builder no 🙂

    I cleared all caches. i actually tried disabling W3TC, Autoptimize and Super Progressive Web Apps.
    I also purged everything from Cloudflare, and put it developer mode.

    When none of this worked, I tried looking into the databse. The guid i the wp_posts table had the path the the images as uppercase. But manually changing this to lowercase didn’t change anything.
    I also looked into wp_postsmeta but here it was lowecase, as expected.

    The physical files were all made lowercase.

    I especially had problems with images delivered by the_post_thumbnail()

    It doesn’t seem like the problem was resolved.

    @squazz GUID is just a unique identifier, which isn’t used for file reference. Your issue is likely in some custom code (look for relevant filters) or in wp_postmeta in _wp_attachment_metadata.

    It will be good if you could provide an image that you’ve used, along with the steps you’ve taken to rename it, and a way to see the results.
