Fixes https://meta.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/8199

Photos uploaded while the parent theme’s 3200px big_image_size_threshold took precedence (fixed in https://meta.trac.wordpress.org/changeset/14386) have a -scaled copy as their attached file. Their “Original Size” download links to that copy and lists its dimensions and filesize, while the full-size original is still stored next to it. For example, https://wordpress.org/photos/photo/8467ac53c5/ offers 8467ac53c5cd33b1.95580622-scaled.jpg (3200×2133, ~895 KB) as the original, but 8467ac53c5cd33b1.95580622.jpg (6000×4000, ~8.8 MB) is the real one.

A plain search-replace of -scaled would fix the URL but leave the stored width, height and filesize of the scaled copy, so the download menu would still show 3200×2133. This adds wp photos restore-originals, which for each photo attachment with an original_image:

  • reads the original’s dimensions and filesize,
  • points _wp_attached_file and the metadata file/width/height/filesize (plus gcs_name/gcs_url) at the original,
  • drops original_image.

Photos whose original is above the current 7500px threshold are left alone, since scaling those was intended, as are copies that were EXIF-rotated rather than (or as well as) scaled. The -scaled copies stay in place, so existing links keep working, and are recorded as a scaled sub-size so deleting the photo removes them too. --dry-run lists what would change. The command needs to be run once on the Photo Directory site after deploy.

Testing

  1. In a Photo Directory environment, upload a photo with a filter forcing a low big_image_size_threshold (e.g. add_filter( 'big_image_size_threshold', fn() => 1000 )) so it gets a -scaled attached file. Remove the filter.
  2. Run wp photos restore-originals --dry-run. It lists the photo with its scaled and original dimensions and changes nothing.
  3. Run wp photos restore-originals. The attachment now points at the unscaled file, and wp_get_attachment_image_src( $id, 'full' ) returns the original’s URL and dimensions. Rerunning reports 0 photos.
  4. A photo whose original is over 7500px, or an attachment whose parent isn’t a photo, is not touched.
  5. After running it on production, the “Original Size” download on https://wordpress.org/photos/photo/8467ac53c5/ should link to 8467ac53c5cd33b1.95580622.jpg and read 6000×4000.

Steps 2–4 were checked in the photo-directory test wp-env.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Added a command-line option to restore eligible Photo Directory images to their original files, updating image dimensions, file size, and associated storage information.
    • Dry-run mode previews eligible images without changing them. Originals that are unreadable, exceed the current size threshold, or have a different orientation from the scaled image are skipped; warnings are shown for unreadable or mismatched files.

Photos uploaded while the parent theme's 3200px big_image_size_threshold
took precedence (fixed in r14386) have a "-scaled" copy as their attached
file. Their "Original Size" download links to that copy and lists its
dimensions, while the full-size original sits next to it.

`wp photos restore-originals` points those attachments at the original
file and updates the stored dimensions and filesize. Photos whose original
is still above the current threshold are left alone, and `--dry-run` lists
what would change.

Fixes #8199.

Walkthrough

Adds the photos restore-originals WP-CLI command. It selects eligible photo attachments and either reports proposed changes with --dry-run or restores original files and updates attachment metadata.

Changes: Photo original restoration

Layer / File(s) Summary
Command and attachment selection
wordpress.org/public_html/wp-content/plugins/photo-directory/inc/cli.php
Adds command documentation and --dry-run support. The command filters attachments by parent post, metadata, file readability, size threshold, and orientation.
Restore files and report results
wordpress.org/public_html/wp-content/plugins/photo-directory/inc/cli.php
Dry runs count eligible photos without changing metadata. Otherwise, the command restores the original file, tracks the scaled copy, updates dimensions and filesize, refreshes existing GCS fields, removes original_image, and reports the count.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Some restored photos may show incorrect orientation information in the admin interface. The change is mergeable with that limitation understood.

🔵 Needs a closer look

Human review is needed because this one-time production migration rewrites attachment and GCS metadata, and automated review cannot verify live storage consistency, dry-run results, or rollback procedures.

No open issues 🎉

What changed in this PR

Adds a one-time WP-CLI command to restore Photo Directory attachments from unintended -scaled files to their stored full-size originals.

Changes:

  • Adds wp photos restore-originals with --dry-run support.
  • Restores eligible photo attachments within the 7500px threshold.
  • Updates file paths, dimensions, filesize, and optional GCS metadata.
  • Preserves scaled files for rollback and skips ineligible attachments.
File Description
wordpress.org/​public_html/​wp-content/​plugins/​photo-directory/​inc/​cli.php Implements the original-image restoration CLI command and migration logic.

Review effort: Lite

…hen restoring originals

Core also sets 'original_image' for photos that were only EXIF-rotated,
and stores the original unrotated, so restore-originals now only acts on
"-scaled" files whose orientation matches the original's.

The "-scaled" copy is kept as a 'scaled' sub-size, so deleting a restored
photo still deletes it.

…inal

Core rotates the "-scaled" copy per the original's EXIF orientation and
stores the original unrotated. Comparing dimensions alone misses 180°
rotations and 90° rotations of square photos, so restore-originals now
also skips photos whose original has an EXIF orientation other than 1.
