Mr Tibbs

Yes Opajaap, the link is very useful thank you!

We have completed our audit and no photos are missing.

Your conclusion that there is nothing wrong with our site is correct.

I am still confused as to why my computer at work displayed incorrect photos while displaying correct captions. This was an unnerving experience for sure!

Perhaps the web hosting company’s web server was not communicating properly with the mySql server????????????

This experience has been a good lesson for me – I MUST do more frequent backups!

Your assistance as always is superb and, we appreciate your personal attention to our perceived problem.

I ran the Cleanup but there were no errors and there were no indications that anything happened. Ran the Cleanup and answered am I sure?

It seems that the missing photos are from sub-albums.

Search widget yielded no results – the photos are gone.

I am re-uploading the missing photos and will begin auditing the other albums and especially the sub-albums.

“OPAJAAP IS THERE TO HELP YOU.” – your funny but, oh so right!

Even though we have many backups, I panic because we have thousands of hours of work in our photo archive. We now have over 6,000 photos and we are adding 10 to 20 photos each day. Database integrity is of the utmost importance to our archive.

Some photos are missing. There were some (less than 10 I believe) black & white photos in this album but, now they are gone: “1959-06 Casper Wyoming” – sub-album #101

I am using my Dell PC at work and my MacBook Pro at home and both indicate photos are missing from album #101.

Should I run a Cleanup (Table VIII A-6) to get them back?

Hmmmm….

Lots of memory issues with the WordPress 3.5.2 update.

Also, I noticed some database issues when upgrading from 3.5.1 to WordPress 3.5.2:

I believe the WordPress 3.5.2 database update is what knocked my WPPA tables for a loop.

Time will tell.

Opajaap,

Here is what has occurred Saturday.

We moved our site to a new web hosting company and after installing WordPress it created a new database for us.

I then imported the old database into the new database.

The system then asked me to update the database to 3.5.2 (apparently the WordPress I installed was version 3.5.2 but the database was still at 3.5.1). I let it update the database with no errors.

Everything looked in order.

On Sunday (yesterday) I started uploading new photos to the albums. It appears those are the photos whose pictures don’t match their captions.

Based on this I believe something has happened to the database.

I believe the best course of action is for me to start over again.

This time I will install WordPress 3.51 and NOT import the database – just point to the old backed up database.

After I validate that the photos are uploading properly only then will I apply WordPress Update 3.5.2

Have you heard of any problems with WordPress 3.5.2?

No wait a minute. That photo is now correct but the caption is gone.

The caption reads “UNDEFINED”

I have never installed any cache programs – they are more headache than they are worth 🙂

The captions are correct but,,, the photos are wrong.

Do you see the horses in the album #373???

There should be no horses in #373 (2013-06 Abbey Ida Tibesar China)

Those horse pictures belong in album #272.
