Yes, tried this - and 'Update Asset Indexes' from Settings too. But neither worked.

<p>I've had this issue before, and it was always either:</p>

<ul>
<li>Needed to update the URL in Settings > General</li>
<li>Needed to change permissions on thumbs directory.</li>
<li>Needed to delete thumbs directory.</li>
</ul>

I'm setting the siteUrl in the config - so that part is correct. But where is the thumbs directory?

# Asset thumbs missing in control panel after Assets Source update

(Asked by: username_0 on 2016-04-19)

I've updated several Assets Sources on my production site. I've exported / imported the database from production into local - the new Assets Sources are in place but the asset thumbs are now missing.

How can I get Craft to re-generate these please?
