Changing product images not working, because of cache issues

wallace · 30 Jun 2021, 14:28

Hi all,
I'm getting crazy... I'm trying to change product images, but in the frontend I still get the old ones because of cache issue.
I think I've tried everything,

unlink storage
php artisan storage:link
php artisan config:cache
php artisan cache:clear
php artisan vendor:publish
delete browser cache
but nothing.
Inspecting my page, I still see the old image here:
https://weclo.it/cache/medium/product/88/SXuYnsStACsbOjS5rtvSFN2076PuCAUZs9GK4mrG.png

My environment is:
Bagisto v1.3.1 running on Apache

Thank you

@wallace
could you provide the URL of the product detail page for which product the image is not getting updated?

The url is:
https://weclo.it/virtual-private-server
The issue is in the category page where I have the product list view and not in the single product detail page.

@wallace do you mean all these images https://prnt.sc/17v5v7o are not updating for all the products that are showing here https://weclo.it/virtual-private-server ??

I've tried to change (at the moment) just the first image (for VPS Gold Linux image), without success.
Whatever image I try to update in admin page, then in the front-end I still have https://weclo.it/cache/medium/product/88/SXuYnsStACsbOjS5rtvSFN2076PuCAUZs9GK4mrG.png

@wallace
please verify first the image you are trying to upload is visible on admin end or not, if this is not visible on backend then might be the image size is large.

I confirm the image is visible in admin panel (inspecting it, the path is correct: https://weclo.it/storage/product/88/SXuYnsStACsbOjS5rtvSFN2076PuCAUZs9GK4mrG.png). Notice that the image size I'm trying to upload is also smaller.

I solved the issue and the problem was not due to the cache but to the forced resizing of the image from rectangular to square (I've found in the medium.php '$width = $height = 280'... why this?)
My new picture was a rectangular version of the old version image (square); when the rectangular image was resized to square, it looks like the original one as the difference was just a white background.
