Hello, there is a problem on the forum, photos on the forum that were sent 3-1 years ago have been deleted. Rather, instead of a photo, just empty parts, I moved on to editing the message in which the photo was sent, and instead of a photo there was this. Help please

I am also having this issue over at https://www.livesectional.com/community/  All of the past images have vanished.  Any ideas on what we can do to recover them?

Thanks,

Bill

@hilts50,

Navigate to Dashboard > Media > Library, and check are those images which aren't shown in the forum, still in the media library.

@hilts50,

@chris Hi Chris, when navigating to that directory, it shows year, and month directory structure, but no images unless I go back over a year.  I don't think any of the content uploaded from the forums is there, only content uploaded when creating actual wordpress posts.

@hilts50,

Here are saved the attachments inserted in wpForo using Attach File option in the Editor: \wp-content\uploads\wpforo\default_attachments
These attachments are also visible in Media Library.

Now the Question: how have you added all those images in the posts that are lost now?
