Reply To: All Image Fields Lose Value

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.

1. 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)
2. Make a change to the post
3. Save the post
4. 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.
