Everything else on admin side is working correctly. Switched to the debug mode – no errors on the site, but almost all images are gone (they were gone on live status also)! on the admin side all images have the same date – 16 Jan 2026.

It’s a real estate website, over 10K images has already uploaded – could be this a reason?

If your db server is MariaDB 11.8+, it’s buggy and not officially supported by txp, though we are looking for a patch in 4.9.1.

Aside: you may be able to silence the deprecation notices about smd_lately by replacing all instances of the strftime function in the plugin code for smd_lately with safe_strftime.

Yeah, it does 11.8.5… :( I have plenty of sites with this database.

But 4.8.8 is working with this database

The bug was not manifesting itself in 4.8.8, we have only discovered it after 4.9.0 release. Unfortunately, the only options I can see atm are

downgrade to txp 4.8.8
or to mariadb 11.4
or replace all 100 occurrences of FROM_UNIXTIME(0) in txp code (21 files) by FROM_UNIXTIME(1). This would shift dates by 1 second, but, hopefully, have no other weird effects.

I will downgrade. Any idea, how fast you could fix it?
