 * The same happens at my own host. Maldet detects the NinjaFirewall signatures 
   as malware. Think we can fix this by changing the Maldet rules.

 * Still the same:
    `string(0) ""`
 * BUT:
    Good news 😀 The images are back! In frontend and backend! So it seems 
   to be fixed again. It seems the wp_cache_flush(); did the trick.
 * Very strange, still wondering what happened or what I missed in the process. 
   As far as I might suspect the following happened:
    1. update failed (probably
   because of blocking wp-admin with security tools); 2. the database upgrade was
   not finished; 3. Tried the fixes with cronjob and forced upgrade; 4. Cleared 
   cloudflare cache, wp-supercache and autoptimize cache; 5. Restarted apache to
   clear opcache; 6. Did all things you said; 7. wp_cache_flush() worked;
 * I am running memcached, could it be the situation that memcached kept the object
   cache from the failed database upgrade all this time in the cache? This is what
   I suspect now, but could be wrong. I share this to help you and other readers.
   
   I am really interested in your conclusion.
 * But I am glad it works again:) Thanks!

 * The first data is from wp_termmeta table indeed.
    The second data is from the
   postmeta table. Which seems to be my category image.
 * Also in the backend > products > categories > my-category I see the Name, description,
   thumbnail and more fields. The ‘Category Term meta field’ also shows a thumbnail
   id. But the thumbnail field (where you should see an image) is empty. Really 
   strange. Maybe this information helps already.
 * I will go try and change the description and report back if it really changes
   at all.

 * Okay thanks, that gives still some hope!
 * For example this one?
    [**Termmeta** table]
 *     ```
       metaid  | termid | metakey | metavalue
       1026 | 2637 | thumbnail_id | 30141
       ```
   
 * Termid corresponds to a category.
    The metavalue (30141) is my image. [**POSTmeta**
   table]:
 *     ```
       667053	30141	_wp_attached_file	aanbiedingen.jpg
        edit	667054	30141	_wp_attachment_image_alt	aanbiedingen
        edit	667055	30141	_wp_attachment_metadata	a:6:{s:5:"width";i:360;s:6:"height";i:230;s:4:"file";s:16:"aanbiedingen.jpg";s:5:"sizes";a:5:{s:9:"t...
       ```
   
 * That looks as if it still exists and is okay, if I am correct?
    (the image data
   above is the correct category image)
 * Still the category images are gone after the update. In frontend and in backend.

 * Yes, it’s filled with a lot of data. 5089 rows. I see product attribute lines,
   lines like: a:3:{i:0;s:5:”46448″;i:1;s:5:”46449″;i:2;s:5:”46468″;} and lines 
   like display_type and thumbnail_id

 * Thanks. One plugin (optimize seo image) blocked the process.
    After disabling
   this plugin it worked.
 * But.. the missing category images aren’t back.
    Also I tried the WooCommerce 
   2.6.1 upgrade, but that didn’t help. I hope the missing images can be restored
   somehow.

 * Hello,
    I also had updater problems. Probably because I hide wp-admin behind 
   NinjaFirewall. So the new updater failed. Now I lost about 400 category images.
   They are still on the server but not ‘connected’ to the categories anymore.
 * I tried the manual fixes:
    1. Finding the cronjob with crontrol: I could not 
   see the cronjob. 2. Adding alternate cron to wp-config: doesnt help. 3. Adding
   workaround code to functions.php and opening the specific url: it gives white
   screen. Maybe because it cannot find the cronjob anymore?
 * I hope I can get the categories images back with the 2.6.1 update. Or that someone
   else knows a fix.
    Thanks in advance!

 * I think I found the problem:
    Overlapping rules in the Table Rate Shipping plugin.
   Some postal codes did overlap. After fixing this I never had the problem again.
 * Are you guys also using this plugin? Then check the rules.
    Or other plugins 
   which have rules which are applied somewhere in the shopping process.

   This topic has been created some hours ago, so it looks like this is a recent
   bug. Maybe something wrong in the latest Woocommerce versio(n) or certain plugins?

 * I had this when the php5-curl module wasn’t installed on the server.
 * Apt-get install php5-curl did the trick. (Or yum, depending on your platform)
