Featured images stopped uploading

When I create a new event, I try to add an image to featured images, and after I select an image, it does not display on the admin page

I checked sql and it is also not saved on wp_events_detail > event_meta like before.

The old images continue to load:

I created a dummy new event even though I tried to add an image, it is still like “”
http://www.paintlounge.ca/workshops/torontotest/

The php files should be correct since I just reuploaded fresh file to the includes folder

Please help asap as I need this working for the site!

Thanks!

Hi Samantha,

You might try disabling JavaScript concatenation for the WordPress admin to see if that makes a difference:

http://codex.wordpress.org/Editing_wp-config.php#Disable_Javascript_Concatenation

You’ll need FTP access in order to add this line to the site’s wp-config.php file:

define('CONCATENATE_SCRIPTS', false);

Hi Josh, I just tried that and it doesn’t work. The thing is, I have both online and localhost versions and the localhost version never had a problem and still doesn’t. I think the wp-config files are the same on both. Any other advice?

Even if I manually update event_meta’s thumbnail link in sql, it doesn’t show on the list? Does it cross reference to something else, in another location?

Hi Samantha,

Did you modify the event list to include thumbnails?

Are there any differences between the localhost version of the site where this is working and the online one?

The one on my computer was an older version. I just tried replicating my online site on my localhost again and the thumbnail problem exists too.

On the site that doesn’t work, I tried replacing the plugin with new files, replacing the sql files, but I still can’t get the thumbnails to save / load.

Does it have to do with the additional plugins required? I also tried reinstalling all of these.

Yes, I modified the event list to include thumbnails – by taking it from what’s saved on sql. But now it’s not saving onto sql, so I can’t get it to show on my list.

I narrowed it down to the sql database. If I link it to the old db, then all is fine. If I use the new db, then the situation occurs.

Which tables should I be looking at?

Hi Samantha,

In the current version of Event Espresso, the event_thumbnail_url is stored in the wp_events_detail table in the event_meta column.

I am having the same problem. Did you work out what’s going on here Samantha?

Thanks.

In my case, the image will not attach if the “Link URL” field in the image properties is empty (none).

There’s a field in the ‘wp_options’ table in sql – you need to change the ‘image_default_link_type’ data to ‘file’ – that worked for me!
Good luck!

This might be related to a new issue in WordPress 3.5 where the new media uploader ignores the image_default_link_type option:
