Hi,

After a DB restore, the avatar's profile pictures are hidden on the front end

But they are still stored in DB.

How do synch?

Thank you

I don't see avatars in the database, I only see avatars in the file system. Please check the avatar field in the wp_wpforo_profile table of your forum database and make sure they are still stored there. Use phpMyAdmin plugin or the same tool in your hosting control panel.

In case you want to say thank you !)
We'd really appreciate and be thankful if you leave a good review on plugin page. This is the best way to say thank you to this project and support team.

Hi Robert,

You are right I don't see avatars in DB wp_wpforo_profiles

But I see all in DB backup vp_backup_wp_wpforo_profiles

How to transfer it?

Regards

Hi @ldj72

Please try to run this SQL query in your phpMyadmin.

UPDATE `wp_wpforo_profiles` p
	INNER JOIN `vp_backup_wp_wpforo_profiles` pb ON pb.`userid` = p.`userid`
    SET p.`avatar` = pb.`avatar`
	WHERE ( p.`avatar` IS NUll ) OR p.`avatar` = ''
