Thumbnail Issue

Hi Everyone,

There was an issue with the thumbnails and preview images of the most recent update (5th November, Peggy in Foot Night Spa). This was caused by me trying to fix a bug with the connections between our content maintenance system and our web host’s new age verification system (mandated by new state laws in some states of the USA). I was having an issue with thumbnails for future updates and stupidly tried to reprocess the most recent update – breaking the thumbnails for it.

If you browse the photoset it looked empty. It was not – grab either of the ZIP files which should be working normally. It’s just that the thumbnails all got deleted and won’t regenerate using our content management system.

This should now be resolved, but there are more issues caused by the changes which we need to work through – bear with me, I am working on it.

October 2024 Previews – Better Late Than Never?

Hi All

What happened to the October 2024 previews? We did the server move, I scheduled the preview post, then the web hosts switched on the state-by-state verification code, and WordPress broke. News items no longer appeared on the RE and SS feeds, and it looks like the item I submitted after the change didn’t even get scheduled correctly.

Thankfully a member notified me of the missing post today and that provided a critical key into understanding HOW WordPress broke. For now, I can get it working again by deactivating the state-by-state code. The missing queued post is vapour, though, so I’m posting the previews now.

Better late than never, I hope!
