Most Photos / Albums GONE after update to v11
Hi,
I've updated to 11.1.0 as suggested and the update went smoothly.
I've tried to do a database backup beforehand but this led to an error. All past update were working fine, so I was not worried and continued without that.
BUT now almost all albums (and content) are now missing in my Piwigo.
The recommendation to run database maintenance in case of problems ran through properly but it didn't change anything.
Resyncing did not work either. I suppose because we usually upload all pictures through Piwigo interface instead of FTP.
Any idea what to do?
Our Piwigo is maintained by several people and it would be a nightmare if all their work would be lost now.

Whatever the error in "this led to an error" might had been..
I'd suggest to restore the last known good correlating real backup for all Piwigo sources and images and the database and redo the upgrade.

Re: Most Photos / Albums GONE after update to v11
Thanks for your response, that's what I tought by myself :/
The recent backup is no solution as it won't recover a reasonable stage of the system. I mean a 60% recovery is not so much better than the 10% status quo.
I suppose all images are still there and it is only the structuring and album metadata that is gone.
I can see all media in piwigo/upload/..., sorted by year, month, day
Could you give me a hint how do to re-import these photos, please?
Perhaps I just have to move them to another folder for that?
Any help is much appreciated, thanks in advance,
Alex
