So they look like [http://www.mywebsite/media//http://mymedialink](http://www.mywebsite/media//http://mymedialink) I have the option Featured Image In Content set On for pages but not posts so the first image should come from FIFU. The rest are in the display of posts on the homepage which is a WordPress standard Gutenberg block with Display Featured Image set to On and the posts have FIFU featured images. It all was working nicely until I touched the menu and that wasn’t the homepage entry! - This reply was modified 5 years, 5 months ago by [PatJ](https://wordpress.org/support/users/patj/). * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Featured Image from URL (FIFU)] FIFU images disappeared, updating posts to bring them back..?](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/fifu-images-disappeared-updating-posts-to-bring-them-back/) * [PatJ](https://wordpress.org/support/users/patj/) * (@patj) * [5 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/fifu-images-disappeared-updating-posts-to-bring-them-back/#post-13973688) * Finally got time to try this.

I’ve updated. Theoreticaly that should solve my problem but… [medialist max=500 mediatype=SQL mediaitems=500 paginate=0 orderby=name globalitems=1] just gives me “Info! No posts or attachments to display” message. * If I change mediatype to images then it lists all the images perfectly. My media admin page says for one of my files (of 400) File name: AllCitations-RM7.sql File type: SQL File size: 4 KB so I’ve tried both mediatype=SQL and mediatype =sql but no joy. And mediatype=”SQL” and mediatype=”sql” * The file was uploaded whilst editing a post with “add media” standard Gutenberg block. Annoyingly although I’m an admin on this particular site, I don’t have control panel access otherwise I’d be looking at code and database entry! I might end up setting up a test on my local WAMP server. - This reply was modified 5 years, 5 months ago by [PatJ](https://wordpress.org/support/users/patj/). * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Featured Image from URL (FIFU)] FIFU images disappeared, updating posts to bring them back..?](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/fifu-images-disappeared-updating-posts-to-bring-them-back/) * [PatJ](https://wordpress.org/support/users/patj/) * (@patj) * [5 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/fifu-images-disappeared-updating-posts-to-bring-them-back/#post-13884782) * I’ve had similar experience recently. I’ve been trying lots of different free themes against my existing website setup and decide to use OceanWP together with it’s Ocean Extras plugin. All worked well and FIFU saved the day by displaying featured image in pages. However when I changed theme, the FIFU images didn’t display, just a little link icon and caption. The metadata in the posts and pages was still there and the featured image url but no display. I had to update each individually, remove the featured image and the featured image URL and re-add it before it worked. * Forum: [Themes and Templates](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/themes-and-templates/) In reply to: [[Twenty Twenty-One] Menu in 2021](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/menu-in-2021/) * Thread Starter [PatJ](https://wordpress.org/support/users/patj/) * (@patj) * [5 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/menu-in-2021/#post-13858827) * I’ve found the cause. Somewhere since WordPress 5.0, the description field in the actual menu items was populated automatically by the update. For categories, this put in the dategory description but for pages it put in the page content and often the entire page content! Items added to the menu most recently don’t have that field populated. Editing the individual menu items resolved the problem. * Forum: [Themes and Templates](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/themes-and-templates/) In reply to: [[Twenty Twenty-One] Menu in 2021](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/menu-in-2021/) * Thread Starter [PatJ](https://wordpress.org/support/users/patj/) * (@patj) * [5 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/menu-in-2021/#post-13833837) * I removed and re-added pages to the menu which is a pain in a large menu and the issue went away. However I did the same with a category item in the menu and the problem remains. I am currently trying out a load of themes on my local WAMP server, including twentytwentyone, giving each one it’s own wordpress installation and copy of my live website database and I have seen the identical problem in some of these too, so it may be something in core not just the themes. * Forum: [Themes and Templates](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/themes-and-templates/) In reply to: [[Twenty Twenty-One] Menu in 2021](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/menu-in-2021/) * Thread Starter [PatJ](https://wordpress.org/support/users/patj/) * (@patj) * [5 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/menu-in-2021/#post-13770314) * Addenda: The pages were all created with classic editor (the original site was created 10 years ago) and even if I change a shortcode page to use the shortcode block the menu problem does not go away. However if I add a new page and use the classic block and add that page to my menu the problem is not there for that page but still there for others. So the menu doesn’t work with pre-existing pages, but there are an awful lot of existing pages out there and so it should be made to work. Re-creating every page is not an option for most websites. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Members - Membership & User Role Editor Plugin] How to get rid of that admin splash screen?](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/how-to-get-rid-of-that-admin-splash-screen/) * Thread Starter [PatJ](https://wordpress.org/support/users/patj/) * (@patj) * [5 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/how-to-get-rid-of-that-admin-splash-screen/#post-13349017) * So today I went to another of my sites running 3.0.10 and all is well and no logo screen, the roles admin (and others) are at the top of the screen without needing to scroll. Then I updated directly to 3.1.1 The horrid logo area at the top of the screen now appears and I have to scroll down to the bottom to find the roles admin. I don’t see how flushing the cache can get rid of something that is in the plugin code and it certainly is not an acceptable fix for a bug.
