# Generated thumbnail not showing

 * Hello,
 * The plugin seems to be generating thumbnails okay, but for some reason the thumbnails
   aren’t showing in my category archive page. There is a missing image icon and
   when I inspect the image it appears to be looking in the wrong place?
 * Example:
    The thumbnail is in the location = website.com/wp-content/uploads/06/
   04/pdffile-pdf.jpg But the category archive is looking in this location = website.
   com/pdffile-pdf.jpg
 * Not sure why this is happening, all of my other posts display thumbnails fine.
 * Thanks.

 * Hi willfretwell.
 * Thank you for reporting the situation.
 * I think it is highly possibility that some custom function of your theme relate
   with this issue.
    I need more information for investigating it. If you are using
   a free theme, tell me about it. If not, send the archive.php (or category.php)
   and the functions.php in your theme. Also if you are using plugins related with
   category, tell me about them too.
 * You can send the file from my contact form.

 * Can you please explain how you added guid to the thumbnail metadata? I have the
   same problem where my thumbnail is not updating after I regenerate.

 * See in pdf-image-generator.php (ver1.4.9） on line 440.
    GUID is added to a thumbnail
   when this is created as an attachment. This action （add_attachment）　is triggered
   by generating/regenerating a thumb of PDF each time.
 * Anyway, in ver 4.9.1.1, regenerate problem is improved.
    I think the issue is
   may not the same. If your problem is not resolved, make a new thread.
 * Thank you!
