Gallery images disappear, even though they're still there in the backend

[petruut]

Issue Summary

The website itself also omits them entirely. These were added just fine, displayed just fine, and are available just fine in the backend folder structure as expected.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Add gallery + images successfully
2. Images eventually disappear (their placeholder remains, and the images are available in the back end, but the gallery does not display them anymore)

Hey petruut, thanks for creating the issue.

I have just tried repeating the same steps on the latest Ghost version, and I haven't been able to reproduce the bug.

Could you provide a video recording of the bug you're experiencing? Any other information that could help us reproduce it?

[petruut]

thanks for the quick reply - is there any way for me to look at the code in the gallery/ logs on galleries already with this issue on the website?

(also, is there a way to relink images already in the /content folder on ghost, without always re-reuploading new copies?)

In the browser, if can open your dev tools, then open the Network tab, you can see backend requests to ghost/api/admin/images/upload/ for each image that is being uploaded in the Gallery card.

Relinking images from your content folder is unfortunately not supported at the moment.

Once published on your website, you could inspect the source of the relevant <img> tags:

re the networking: I can only see assets for the 4 images that are actually displaying (even though the gallery is formed of 7 images, all available in the /content subfolder that ghost uploaded them to)

also, I can't see any errors etc. but then again, I don't know what I'm looking at.

re inspecting the source:

so it looks like, by the time the website is rendering, it only renders the 4 images (as opposed to the 7)

Relinking images from your content folder is unfortunately not supported at the moment.

my networking screenshot is from the published website. re the upload in the backend, I know that works because I can see the images in the file manager in the right /content folder

Hm, unfortunately I'm not seeing how to help further with these elements, as I don't have a way to reproduce the bug at the moment. Does this happen for you with a new post as well?

@petruut 👋

Given that we have not been able to find a clear reproduction of the bug and that it seems environment-specific, we suggest that you open a thread on the Ghost forum to get more help, if you're still experiencing the issue.
