Check their URLs.
The images should change from your local install to the URL on the cloud.
You can also look in the media library and see if they show there. Make sure the urls are what they really should be.
The images weren’t visible in the media library either. I deactivated the plugin for now.
They show up without?
What are the urls though, of the broken images? Are they the right for what your settings are of the cloud URL?
With the plugin deactivated, they show up in the media library and as featured images but not in the actual post. In the actual post the URL points to the CDN url… ex. https://files.tonihogan.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/07/grow-business-give-away.png
HTTPS and a custom cdn doesn’t work. Check the URL direct in your browser and you’ll see. I only learned this last week that you have to use the generic URL for them 🙁
ok. i need to figure out why it’s like that. it shouldn’t have HTTPS. Thanks a ton!
If the site is https, or you checked the https box, it the plugin will force it on for you.
ok, i actually just figured that out. i had the box checked. i deleted the custom URL, but the images urls still point there.
Yeah, it doesn’t change them back :/ you’ll need to do a search/replace on the ones you changed. I have yet to finish the undo feature.

Search for https://files. and replace with http://files.
That should do it all.
just wanted to let you know i am still working on this issue. i deactivated the plugin, deleted the custom URL for the CDN, and replaced all of the URLs with the Velvet Blues plugin.
The images reappeared in the media library, like before. But, not in the pages and posts. I’m having to manually go into the page/post editor, click the image edit button, then click update in order for the image to show.
I’ve tried deleting the cache, but that didn’t help. I will try again, later, to restore the site to its original status, and then try the migration again.
Click update? *blink* What the heck..
Are you doing anything with the update or just … updating?
If you’re on dreampress, you may want to try flushing memcached. You can do it via command line by typing wp cache flush
If you can’t, ask TS to do it for you.
LOL! Nope. Just clicking the edit icon and update, then VOILA! I will probably reach out to TS. They’re usually pretty quick.
Thanks for everything! 🙂
Right, gotta be the stupid caches :/ Daaaamn it.
I’m having this problem as well. I took DreamSpeed off my server then even after using the Velvet Blues Update URLs to change my image links back, I’m still seeing the same broken images on my website.
If you’re on DreamPress, you must flush the cache. Memcached and Varnish. If you’re on php 5.4 it generally works better (smarter caching) but the server side cache can be really sticky.
I can’t reproduce this though, and no one but you two have done it.
Vann, normally you should make a new post for this sort of thing, since the original post is marked resolved.
