Limited number of featured images? #40

Open jazzmavericks opened 7 years ago

jazzmavericks commented 7 years ago

Hi, I'm kind of new to wordpress, so this may be an issue on my end, however, I have just noticed that on older posts, the featured images are no longer appearing on my posts. Everytime I add a new post using the plugin to generate an image, one of the earlier posts loses its image. It is also removed from the media area. Is there a limit to the plugin, or is this a limit in the worpress media area itself?

Our site is basically reposting videos, so I need the plugin to create an image for nearly all of our posts, and keep those images.

Thanks for your help in advance, and also my newbieness if the answer is obvious!

No limits that I'm aware of outside of what the server and the database can handle, size wise. We definitely don't try to implement any sort of limits either.

For some clarification, are you referring to no longer appearing when viewing on the frontend, or no longer has a featured image associated with the post when editing it in the WP Admin?

It should only be doing anything if there is no featured image already set. Otherwise it should be skipping. How many posts are you working with at the moment?

I think it might just have been a glitch... I've gone back in and updated the video links and then updated each post, and the images are appearing again. Strange. We have 32 posts with the image being generated from an embedded video.

Thanks for the super fast reply though! I'll keep an eye on our older posts over the next few days and see if it reoccurs....

Interesting, but yeah let us know if something comes up again and we'll see what we can do to help.
