Hi Drew, 2.7 I think. Originally purchased on the 20th Feb 2015.

Which version of Blog?

Was this on a live site, or your dev site? Can you revert to your backup to try it again?

Hi Drew, I'm running perch_blog (4.5.4).

Perch 2.8 needs Blog 4.6.

Hi Drew, updated to Blog 4.6 but still no images showing on blog posts or in assets?

Did you get any messages during the update?

No nothing? Copied the files over and opened up the blog in perch no errors at all?

Did you see the update run? You should have had a page to say the update completed.

I didn't see a message Drew. Is there a way to reinstall?

Fixed Drew! When I initially installed the latest version of the blog I renamed the old version to 'addons/apps/perch_blog_old' and copied over the new folder. On closer inspection there were two blog links in perch dashboard. Deleting both folders and reinstalling seems to have fixed the problem.

Thanks for you help.

Blog images are visible when viewing the site but I can't see them in assets?

That depends on how and when the images were added historically.

Do new images go into Assets? If so then it's working.
