My group was running our Discourse on a temporary domain for two months until we agreed on our actual domain name. Yesterday I attempted to migrate all content from the old domain to the new one. All text content, user accounts, and even inter-thread links transferred correctly. But now: All past …

My very basic understand of Discourse (and I am very much a novice) is that uploaded images are stored on your site, and an optimised file size version of the image are also stored. Initially, the original image will be displayed to users, and at some point, the forum switches over to an optimize…

My solution was FTP move them (crude but it worked). Not 100% sure why. At first I moved only the optimized images and it didn’t fix the problem, but when I moved all the images it resolved my issue. Thanks for the more detail instruction on how to FTP into my two Discourses. The uploads file was…

By default backups do not contain optimised images as they can be recreated. Including them would waste bandwidth and disk space. In your case it would have helped to include them by enabling the include_thumbnails_in_backups site setting before creating the backup. As an alternative, running rake…
