I followed the instructions in the docs at https://docs.craftcms.com/v3/changes-in-craft-3.html#user-photos.

I can browse the User Photos in the User Photos Asset Volume in the Control Panel. However, the User Photos are not linked to their respective User Accounts. I noticed that in the C3 craft_users table the photoId col is NULL. I can add an asset ID manually and the User Photo displays in the User Account in the CP.

I can upload new User Photos in User Accounts in the Users section of the CP.

How can I link the original Craft 2 User Photos to the User Accounts (ca. 100) in Craft 3?

  • are you saying that you have 100 user accounts and can't do this manually?

The migration should have taken care of that. The only scenario where it's not a bug I can imagine is if you ran the migration on a staging server that did not have the actual user photo files and then pushed the DB to live server. If that's not the case, can you get in touch via [email protected]?

  • Thanks Andris for confirming expected behaviour. I performed the upgrade in my local Homestead/Vagrant dev environment. It was a little while ago, so it would have been on an early RC. I wonder if this has anything to do with the recent issue of assets with leading underscores in file names not being indexed? Fortunately, this is a test upgrade, so I may just try again on the most recent RC. I'll let you know.

  • I tried a fresh upgrade from Craft 2.6.3017 to Craft 3.0.10.3 via Composer and got the same result. I noticed the Craft 3 upgrade process creates a storage/userphotos folder. However it is empty. I assume this makes sense because it doesn't know where to get the User Photos from. Is there a step missing in the Performing the Upgrade section that goes something like: "Copy your old craft/storage/userphotos over to your new project's storage/userphotos?

  • Is there any way to run just the userphotos part of the upgrade? - it seems the permissions where not right on our upgrade and the user photos did not update.

  • @Green17 that migration was pretty and not very reversible. The only way to re-do it would be to re-upgrade.

  • @AndrisSevcenko thanks spoke to Craft on it and they said manual job or write a script based on github.com/craftcms/cms/blob/develop/src/migrations/….

I solved the problem by adding the following (missing) step to the Performing the Upgrade section of the docs at https://docs.craftcms.com/v3/upgrade.html#performing-the-upgrade:

Copy your old craft/storage/userphotos/ over to your new project's storage/userphotos/
