What potential pitfalls should be considered when trying to move images within a WordPress template using PHP?

When moving images within a WordPress template using PHP, potential pitfalls to consider include ensuring that the image paths are correct, handling errors that may occur during the move, and making sure that the images are displayed correctly after being moved. 

// Example PHP code snippet to move images within a WordPress template
$old_image_path = '/path/to/old/image.jpg';
$new_image_path = '/path/to/new/image.jpg';

// Check if the old image exists before moving
if (file_exists($old_image_path)) {
    // Attempt to move the image to the new location
    if (rename($old_image_path, $new_image_path)) {
        echo 'Image moved successfully!';
    } else {
        echo 'Error moving image.';
    }
} else {
    echo 'Old image does not exist.';
}
