Whenever I migrate the files and database to a live environment, some of the images are missing. Especially background images in sections (I’m using Bricks Builder). This is how I operate: Update the Wordpress and Site address URL in the Wordpress settings (in Local). Export the /public and /sql …

Hi @henkvz When using Local Connect to push to WP Engine or Flywheel there is an automatic Search and Replace that happens to help clear up mixed content and pathing issues. The same generally happens when using any sort of migration plugin, however, some images, front-end assets, or other HTML ele…

I’m migrating as described above, manually without plugins. The images are not missing, just not visible. It’s not a mixed content issue btw.

I had a deeper dive into the matter and tested a migration. Even after updating the Wordpress and Site URL’s, it seems that not all image paths are updated! No wonder some of the images were not shown. I’m not sure if this is Bricks Builder related, but I’ve never experienced it before. I used the…
