    Hi,

    the file location (path) shown in the CSV is correct. It is up to you to upload the images to that location.

    You can check the filename in the upload sheet but it will only add a new image, not remove the old one.

    Thanks Alex,

    Last week I did move the folder over to the same directory as WordPress (see screenshot) but it still didn’t want to link up. Do I have the wrong folder?

    In the export I see the “Post Images” are linked using the full url (ie: https://nhtourguide.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/132.jpg). But the “Logo” just uses the folder address for the link (ie: /files/logo/132.jpg). So I am not sure if I have the right folder or not.

    It is not possible to use a subdirectory in wp-content besides the year and month folder. You will need to have the images located in the year/month folder. That is why you would want to rename them.

    /wp-content/uploads/2020/01/

    Hi Alex,

    I think I’m very confused…. these two lines from each of your last two posts is what I’m confused about.

    “the file location (path) shown in the CSV is correct. It is up to you to upload the images to that location.”

    “You will need to have the images located in the year/month folder. That is why you would want to rename them.”

    The location in the export for “Logo” is not showing the uploads/year/month folder. Check my post #533307

    Hi,

    Thank you for the info!

    I see the correct image on the edit page on the example you sent me for the “Logo” image on the edit screen but the problem I am still seeing is when you click on “Places” on the frontend of the site. Those images that are appearing for each place are not the right images.

    Ie: https://nhtourguide.com/wp/places/page/40/

    How so?

    The GD Archive Item is now setup to show post_images or the logo if there are no post images.

    /wp-admin/post.php?post=10&action=edit

    
    
    
    [gd_post_images type='image' ajax_load='true' link_to='post' show_logo='true']
    

    You can find links to all the GD Pages and Templates at

    GD – Settings – Pages

    On the Places archive you linked the logo is displayed. There are no other images loaded to the post_images field, see screenshot of that field on the right hand column.

    ok, I have that figured out but the problem with the featured image remains.

    I have the two sets of logo images. One with their original file names, and ones that I renamed.

    Which ones do I use?

    Which folder do they go in?

    I can see the ones I looked up, in my reply above, are working. Looks like you can leave those in place and let us know if you run into any issues with this.

    Future uploads through the add listing page will go into the appropriate folders, the year/month folders.

    Sorry but I think there is still some confusion on this. I think I have only been adding to this confusion being confused by it already and not having a good working understanding of how this new (to me) theme and plugins work just yet. Maybe using covered bridge pages are not helping since there are about 60 covered bridge pages on the site. But sticking with that for just a little longer to use the example links you sent above….

    Sulphite Bridge appears in the Pages section here:
    https://nhtourguide.com/wp/places/page/33/ (near bottom). The featured image is not correct.

    Once you click on the listing it takes you here:
    https://nhtourguide.com/wp/places/sulphite-covered-bridge/ (note that the images on the top of the listing are correct. The covered part of the bridge is actually no longer there, just the old railroad tracks and the bridge deck remain.

    The logo image (featured image) that should appear on the Places page is here: http://nhtourguide.com/files/logo/65.jpg. The actual image that is appearing that is not correct is here: https://nhtourguide.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/65.jpg – This is the image that is showing that shouldn’t be. Both of those images have a file name of 65.jpg so I cannot upload the logo images or that will overwrite the existing 65.jpg. We previously discussed renaming the images so I did that. I added a prefix to all the logo images to make the file names unique, so now the logo image is “nh-65.jpg” – So I can upload these to the dated folder if needed, I would just have to change the links in the exported file. The problem now is that when I exported the file to change these links they are actually already linked correctly to the old PHPMyDirectory files, the link it just not working for some reason. In the export the link is /files/logo/65.jpg – I thought maybe I had to move the /files/ folder to the /wp/ folder where I have the new WordPress site, the GD themes and the GD plugins, but that also did not work.

    I noticed in the export file that the links for the images for each listing use the entire url, but the column for the logo images do not.

    Hopefully this doesn’t add to the confusion.

    Please check now:
    https://nhtourguide.com/wp/places/page/33/
    I have updated the archive item with this shortcode:

    
    
    
    [gd_post_images type="image" ajax_load="1" slideshow="1" show_title="1" animation="slide" controlnav="1" link_to="post" types="post_images,logo" fallback_types="cat_default,cpt_default,listing_default"]

    Hi Alex,

    Thank you for doing that, sorry about the confusion.

    I see most of this is fixed but see a few images still are not correct, like both listings on this page: https://nhtourguide.com/wp/places/page/40/ – Checked on FireFox and IE with same results.

    Its no big deal for me to fix a few of them manually at this point though. Just thought I would mention it in case something else was wrong.

    Again, thank you!!!

    Matt

    Those listings don’t have post images (the main image field) and so are showing the logo.
