Update feautured image automatically in grid if updated
If I add a post thumbnail to the grid and then change the featured image of the post in question, that instance of the post/thumbnail image gets broken in the grid. Would be nice if the newly changed featured image would be updated in the grid system automatically. Would this be possible?
What makes this extra critical is the fact that the image becomes broken on the front end as well upon updating the post's featured image.
Hey @tobiasger!
Thanks for sending us this Bug Report.
Can you replicate that? Please send me the Gridder JSON of the Post with broken grid (before and after you change the featured image).
Best,
Felix

Hmm. It seems to be working now. I'm not sure why it didn't work before. I've tried with both uploading a new featured image and replacing with that, and selecting an already uploaded featured image - and both worked. Any ideas why it didn't work before?
EDIT: I got the same problem just now only by changing the title of the post connected to the post thumbnail – not changing the thumbnail itself at all. The caption is there like it should, but the image is gone. I can click the caption and then just click "OK" to bring back the thumbnail, as the grid seems to understand what post I'm referring to, but still not being able to show the featured image until I either just double click and press "OK" or add a new post thumbnail.
Unfortunately, as the problem seems to occur randomly (I have at least not yet noticed a pattern), it's a bit hard for me to replicate and give you the JSON data at the moment.
Now I seem to get this error every time I update a post. I just added a ACF field to the post type and I'm going through each post and putting stuff in the fields. For each post that I update, the featured image disappears from the grid. Like before, I have to either double click the post caption in the grid and just click "OK" in order for the image to show, or add the post thumbnail again as a new instance.
The JSON output is to big to put here, but I did some comparison of the the outputs, before and after the update of a specific post, and found that when I update the post, it's replacing the cont property with the attachment ID, instead of the image URL that was there before. This is the only difference I found when comparing the two JSON outputs.
This is how it looked before I updated the post (on that specific post in the JSON data):
"cont": "/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/2301180918_image5.jpg"
And this is how it looks after updating:
"cont": "34"
This leads to a value of null in the JSON on ar and sizes, which explains why the featured image isn't showing. So there must be something in the code that puts an ID of the attachment instead of the URL. I'm not sure why I didn't experience this when recently updating the featured image itself though. Right now it seems to affect the featured image data when I update anything else (i. e. the title and the ACF fields, maybe any field).
Hey @tobiasger,
It looks like that the acf field are interacting with the gridder or post thumbnail.

I get the same error kind of randomly though when only updating the content of the post or the title. And I experienced this even before installing ACF and adding the custom fields to the post type.
Any success in investigating the issue?
Thank you!
Do you have an ETA on this fix? The thing is that this is creating issues for my client as the site gets quite problematic to update when this problem is occuring.
Hi @tobiasger,
Please send your website url and credential to f.albert.work@icloud.com
We will try to figure out why this is happening.

@f-albert-work Alright! I've sent the information to you now.
