Image src not updated when site address is changed in Simple Sites with custom domain #94360
Open
Description
Quick summary
When a site primary address is changed from a custom domain to another domain or free WordPress.com address, the image src is not updated.
In some scenarios, the original domain is detached from the site (domain is transferred or expires), making the images not being displayed.
Steps to reproduce
- On a Simple site with a domain, upload an image and add it to a post/page.
- Change the site address to another domain or the default site address.
- Check the image
src.
What you expected to happen
Having the image src updated
What actually happened
The image src is not updated, and as mentioned, is not being displayed if the domain expires, or is not connected to the site anymore.
Impact
All
Available workarounds?
Yes, difficult to implement
If the above answer is "Yes...", outline the workaround.
The only workaround for now is editing the image src manually in cases where there are a few images.
