Media library unlinked

    Hello,
    We’re testing your plugin and came across two issues which may be normal behaviour.

    1. After renaming files, they don’t show up in the media library anymore. We have to reimport them using “Add From Server” for them to be available in the media library once more.

    2. (Most likely normal?) We renamed 200-300 images and all pages’ images were broken (database not updated). Is that a pro feature? Or we have to manually call “REPLACE” in our MySQL database for each image?

    Thanks!

    Hello Vincent,

    1. You mean, they don’t appear at all? Or simply the thumbnails wouldn’t appear?

    2. It’s not (really) normal. You can have a look in the code, but Media File Renamer already runs a few SQL queries to updates the references in the posts, pages, products and so on. However, if you are using a plugin that encodes this data, a SQL query will not be able to find that reference.

    I hope it helps 🙂

    Hello Jordy,
    1. They do not appear at all. The only way to bring them back was to use the “Add From Server” plugin to get the file and reimport them.
    2. That’s good to know! It could be many things. We’ll see if we can capture the queries received next time we try it.

    An important detail I didn’t mention is that we are using a WPMU (WordPress Multisite). That could have an impact on this issue since the table names are be different (double prefix, wp_67_options instead of wp_options)

    Thank you, the follow-up is appreciated. We’ll keep you posted if we find something.
