Stopped working about 60 day ago.

Feedback would be liked and has worked for 2 months.

Hey @xeno

Please try publishing the same post again but this time pick a small JPEG as the featured image so we can rule out file size or format issues.

If that doesn’t work either, log in to the child site’s wp-admin and set a featured image on the post directly to see if it sticks.

Also, can you please share the system report from your Child site? On the Child Site, navigate to your-child-site.com/wp-admin/options-general.php?page=mainwp_child_tab, SERVER INFORMATION tab, then click the Get system report button.

Child site:
did some experimenting and found that jpg and webp have the same rail rate. Using dreamhost and child is two different TLD on the same disk.
