Last week a mega problem occurred in my store. All product images were disconnected from my products. Since I offer more than 1,200 products, it is a time-consuming job to reconnect everything.

Re-uploading the feed also does not get the images linked.

Who else is suffering from this?

Shopify’s development team recognizes this problem and has been working for 5 days to fix it. Because of this already 5 days no sales which is costing a lot of money…

Hopefully someone can give me an update about this issue.
