    After doing an upgrade to 3.5 from 3.1, my media library refused to show the images unless I went into edit mode. I can see them in edit mode, but can’t see them after saving them. The attachment page claims a 404 error.

    I disabled the plugins, cleaned out my browser’s cache, logged out of the site, logged back in and reenabled the plugins, and still couldn’t see my images. I’ve checked the file paths in the settings, and they are pointing to the locations of my images, and I can see my images in those locations via ftp as well.

    A screenshot of my media gallery is here: ScreenshotYou’ll notice none of the images are displaying there. Is there something I should put in my .htaccess file, or something I should check in the settings area?

    The rest of the site works well. But you can see an image that’s supposed to be embedded in a page here:About

    Fixed it myself. I hadn’t replaced an old .htaccess line correctly.

    Instead of following this direction here:

    RewriteRule ^(.*/)?files/(.*) wp-content/blogs.php?file=$2 [L] and change it to this: RewriteRule ^(.*/)?files/(.*) wp-includes/ms-files.php?file=$2 [L]

    I’d simply copied and pasted the entire line. Now that I followed this direction properly, my images work again.
