One thing I’ll note is that it also seems to be server specific. It doesn’t happen at my server at Rackspace, but does happen for my client’s server.
- Go to a post that has a image field that has an image selected that exists in an uploads directory with a larger number of images (our 2016/03 uploads folder has over 25,000 files)
- Make a change to the post
- Save the post
- Notice that upon refresh that the post no longer has any value applied to the image field. Also, any image applied to the feature image is also missing
I thought this was a server specific issue at first, but realized that rolling back to 5.5.3 resolves the issue… so while it may be a server value that is different between the two environments, it does not seem to be just a server issue. I’m assuming that something changed in 5.5.4 in regards to how images are reference, checked, or retained upon save that might be causing the issue. Perhaps a timeout is occurring that is causing the link/reference to be dropped.
