I’m migrating a load of content, about 15k worth of news stories to Discourse via the API and these topics have links to images in. The images have just been uploaded to blob storage and are fully accessible publicly. Most topics have the images shown correctly and get hotlink downloaded and upload…

How about the rebuilt html option with the little admin wrench? [image]

Your file has a double extension - .jpeg.jpg - is that true of all of the files which have been rejected? Have any double-extension files been processed successfully?

Thanks Robert. This is working for the first few I’ve tried. It’s going back to square one, i.e. rendering the hotlinked image, and then downloading/uploading it. I’ll have to see if this can be automated, though it doesn’t get to the root cause of why they’re failing to start with.

No, the double extension images are the minority and do not make up all of the failures. The Rebuild HTML option fixes these cases as well though.

That’s fantastic and congratulations, :partying_face: fortunately I learned that from other helpful people here when I’ve had similar issues and I’m happy I could pass it along to you :sunglasses:

Okay, I fixed all migrated posts via the API using /posts/{num}/rebake. Oddly the rake posts:rebake command in the container didn’t work. After automating the rebake API call, it turned out there’s about an 80% image upload failure rate. That’s pretty crazy.

In the end this turned out not to be reliable, it would work for a few posts but not for all. I’ll have to have another go at trying to upload the images again. I had issues with this before with requests just hanging. I’m not sure if I tried the skip_validations parameter on those requests though.
