    @steve: You sent your post just before I finished mine. 🙂
    Yes, indeed, it also seems to be database issue with my installation. But in my case, the database tables already show up again as “OK” in phpMyAdmin, so I’m afraid that the data mentioned above is lost for good. 🙁
    So, is there solution to automatically reconstruct the missing metadata based on the post data an the actual image files on disk?

    Best regards

    I just played around with the again and finally seem to have identified the root cause: The system crash mentioned earlier must have affected the corresponding MySQL database – for all “broken” images, the corresponding entries in the “postmeta” database table are missing.
    But of course manually adding these datasets for a couple of dozens (hundreds?) images would be a bit tedious (not mentioning that I haven’t fully understood the content of “_wp_attachment_metadata” value)… Is there any tool or plugin or whatever that scans the “post” table and recreates missing entries for images in the “postmeta” database table?

    • WP_CACHE wasn’t set in wp-config.php, so I added a line, setting it to false.
    • I just doublechecked: no, there are no caching plugins installed.
    • The theme I’m currently using is “Responsive Mobile”. For testing purposes, I changed to “Twenty Sixteen” with no effect.
    • I’ve just set up a new, parallel installation of WP out of the box on the same virtual machine and within that, the media library seems to work perfectly fine. So I don’t think that the issue is with the system itself.

    So, summing it up, unfortunately, none of the tips so far had any effect on the problem at hand. 🙁

    How can I accomplish this?
    (I’ve already googled for clearing WP’s caches, but so far no instructions found did match my installation – mainly, because I don’t use any WP cache plugins.)
