re: This is because each cnEntry no longer has an [‘image’] attribute and image meta (this, of course, happened after changing my hostname).

Changing the hostname would not cause the image attribute to be blank. That value is retrieved from the entry data which is stored in the database…

Which makes me wonder…

When you changed hostnames, did you manipulate the database in any way? Such as running a manual query to do a find and replace of the hostnames across all tables?

Another question…

In your wp-config.php file, are you manually setting either the UPLOADS or WP_CONTENT_DIR? Infact are you manually setting any of the WordPress constants? if you are what to? This is important because WordPress has some very specific rules on how they are to be set. I’ve come across many instances where these were wrong which would cause the images not to display.
