Updating a listing causes the images to become attached / deleted

Hello

I have had an issue where updating a listing causes the images to become attached / deleted.

This is on a clean install of WP and the latest GEO Theme and plugins.

From the admin, create a new custom post type called companies.

Add a new company and set the image to one from the computer, mine is called “16_advertise_banner.jpg”.

Publish the post

Notice that images are saved in wp-uploads (and thumbnails generated OK)

Also notice that geodir_attachments has a new entry for the image, and also geodir_gd_company_detail has a new entry for featured thumbnail. Everything works ok.

Now go to the admin and edit this post again but don’t change the images, set the location and publish for example.

Notice that geodir_gd_company_detail and geodir_attachments now has changed the path of the image to “///16_advertise_banner.jpg” from “/16_advertise_banner.jpg”

Also in wp-uploads, the “16_advertise_banner.jpg” image has been deleted but the thumbnails remain.

I would assume that by updating the post that images that have already been uploaded are not removed when saving the post. We have the website live with paying customers and this is a huge issue as companies are losing their images when they update their profile, from front end and also for us from back end.

Please can you advise how to fix asap?

Thanks

Rob
