Title: Thumbnails were missing Last modified: August 22, 2016 --- # Thumbnails were missing * [fatbunny](https://wordpress.org/support/users/fatbunny/) * (@fatbunny) * [11 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/thumbnails-were-missing/) * After upgrading to 0.9.6, thumbnails were not showing anymore. I tried to inspect element and this was what I found. * `excellence` * Seems like there was a problem getting the image source * [https://wordpress.org/plugins/recent-posts-widget-extended/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/recent-posts-widget-extended/) Viewing 15 replies - 16 through 30 (of 69 total) [←](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/thumbnails-were-missing/?output_format=md) [1](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/thumbnails-were-missing/?output_format=md) 2 [3](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/thumbnails-were-missing/page/3/?output_format=md) [4](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/thumbnails-were-missing/page/4/?output_format=md) [5](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/thumbnails-were-missing/page/5/?output_format=md) [→](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/thumbnails-were-missing/page/3/?output_format=md) * [Praveen Kumar](https://wordpress.org/support/users/spk100/) * (@spk100) * [11 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/thumbnails-were-missing/page/2/#post-5274211) * No. Don’t use that or anything like that. * As said, only after upgrading to the latest version, the thumbs disappeared. The site is running 0.9.5 without any issues. * But when i upgrade to 0.9.6 it does not work (even on a local dev setup). * Plugin Author [satrya](https://wordpress.org/support/users/satrya/) * (@satrya) * [11 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/thumbnails-were-missing/page/2/#post-5274212) * I just curious what is causing the issue. Is this because I use Aqua Resizer or somthing else. If you find something please let me know. * [Praveen Kumar](https://wordpress.org/support/users/spk100/) * (@spk100) * [11 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/thumbnails-were-missing/page/2/#post-5274213) * Is there a way where we can remove the Aqua Resizer and test it to see if it works? * [Praveen Kumar](https://wordpress.org/support/users/spk100/) * (@spk100) * [11 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/thumbnails-were-missing/page/2/#post-5274221) * I figured out the lines of code that are causing this issue * ``` // Experiment! // Cropping image using Aqua Resizer $thumb_id = get_post_thumbnail_id(); $img_url = wp_get_attachment_url( $thumb_id, 'full' ); // Get img URL. $image = aq_resize( $img_url, $args['thumb_width'], $args['thumb_height'], true ); // Resize & crop img. $html .= '
  • '; if ( $args['thumb'] ) : // Check if post has post thumbnail. if ( has_post_thumbnail() ) : $html .= ''; $html .= '' . esc_attr( get_the_title() ) . ''; ``` * I replaced the above codes with the below * ``` // Experiment! // Cropping image using Aqua Resizer //$thumb_id = get_post_thumbnail_id(); //$img_url = wp_get_attachment_url( $thumb_id, 'full' ); // Get img URL. //$image = aq_resize( $img_url, $args['thumb_width'], $args['thumb_height'], true ); // Resize & crop img. $html .= '
  • '; if ( $args['thumb'] ) : // Check if post has post thumbnail. if ( has_post_thumbnail() ) : $html .= ''; $html .= get_the_post_thumbnail( get_the_ID(), array( $args['thumb_width'], $args['thumb_height'], true ), array( 'class' => $args['thumb_align'] . ' rpwe-thumb the-post-thumbnail', 'alt' => esc_attr( get_the_title() ) ) ); $html .= ''; ``` * and it worked. * Basically i commented out the Aqua Resizer part and then replaced the post thumbnail code with the code from the previous version and it works fine. * [coolhatwebdesign](https://wordpress.org/support/users/coolhatwebdesign/) * (@coolhatwebdesign) * [11 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/thumbnails-were-missing/page/2/#post-5274224) * I’m seeing the same missing thumbnails problem. When I downgraded the plugin, even though I had my particular post category checked to filter those posts, the widget still showed all uncategorized blog posts. I updated the plugin through the wordpress update page, deleted and re-added the widget, it shows the posts but the thumbnails are still missing/broken. * [coolhatwebdesign](https://wordpress.org/support/users/coolhatwebdesign/) * (@coolhatwebdesign) * [11 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/thumbnails-were-missing/page/2/#post-5274225) * Thumbnails are showing up when I downgrade, but the categories are being ignored now. * [Praveen Kumar](https://wordpress.org/support/users/spk100/) * (@spk100) * [11 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/thumbnails-were-missing/page/2/#post-5274226) * [@coolhatwebdesign](https://wordpress.org/support/users/coolhatwebdesign/), * See my post above yours. Edit the functions.php and replace the code with what i posted, it should work. * Until Satrya posts a fix, you can use that. * [coolhatwebdesign](https://wordpress.org/support/users/coolhatwebdesign/) * (@coolhatwebdesign) * [11 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/thumbnails-were-missing/page/2/#post-5274227) * [@praveen](https://wordpress.org/support/users/praveen/) Kumar, I made sure to only comment out and replace the lines that you wrote out in the plugin’s functions. php file, but it causes my whole site to show a blank screen unfortunately. * [Praveen Kumar](https://wordpress.org/support/users/spk100/) * (@spk100) * [11 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/thumbnails-were-missing/page/2/#post-5274228) * That should not happen at all. * Are you using the latest version or the previous version? the code works fine on the latest version. I have tested it locally and it is on my live site as well. * [coolhatwebdesign](https://wordpress.org/support/users/coolhatwebdesign/) * (@coolhatwebdesign) * [11 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/thumbnails-were-missing/page/2/#post-5274229) * That was definitely it. In the mix of downgrading and re-updating the plugin, my local copy was still the previous version. I replaced the code you indicated and it’s working now. Thanks! Hopefully the next update patches this so I don’t lose these fixes. * [ashton139](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ashton139/) * (@ashton139) * [11 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/thumbnails-were-missing/page/2/#post-5274243) * guys sorry for the silly question but the images never worked for me do i have to have Aqua Resizer installed for it to work. how can i begin to make the images show? thanks. I do have a featured image on all my posts. * Plugin Author [satrya](https://wordpress.org/support/users/satrya/) * (@satrya) * [11 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/thumbnails-were-missing/page/2/#post-5274245) * Hmm.. I’m sorry I’m still investigating the issue. Maybe I should make a fallback to the WordPress thumbnail function. * [ashton139](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ashton139/) * (@ashton139) * [11 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/thumbnails-were-missing/page/2/#post-5274252) * Praveen Kumar can you tell me the steps to have the images to work? thanks which page to put the aqua resizer and how? its very much appreciated. * [Praveen Kumar](https://wordpress.org/support/users/spk100/) * (@spk100) * [11 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/thumbnails-were-missing/page/2/#post-5274255) * [@ashton139](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ashton139/), * 1. You do not need aqua resizer. 2. Install the plugin. 3. Ensure your theme supports featured images and you have set featured images for your posts. here is a nice tutorial [http://www.wpbeginner.com/beginners-guide/how-to-add-featured-image-or-post-thumbnails-in-wordpress/](http://www.wpbeginner.com/beginners-guide/how-to-add-featured-image-or-post-thumbnails-in-wordpress/) 4. Add the widget. * If the thumbnails do not appear and you HAVE featured images set, then replace the code as i have mentioned above. * Plugin Author [satrya](https://wordpress.org/support/users/satrya/) * (@satrya) * [11 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/thumbnails-were-missing/page/2/#post-5274256) * Hi Kumar, Please try to add `` on your local dev, but please swtich back to the original code.
