Support » Plugin: WordPress MU Domain Mapping » Image URLs are incorrect in some browsers (but the file exists)

    I searched through the past support threads for this, but I think mine is a strange, separate sort of case. Maybe it’s not.

    I recently changed indigo.seventh-star.net to become meredithsweet.com

    By that I mean that I went through the steps of parking meredithsweet.com, pointing its DNS servers at seventh-star.net’s public_html directory, and then setting up this plugin to point to meredithsweet.com as the primary domain, and then editing the “site” settings wherever the old “indigoink.seventh-star.net” existed and replacing it with “meredithsweet.com”.

    However, since I’d been building Indigo beforehand, it had images, posts, etc. with permalinks that had indigo.seventh-star.net in the URL. Including my header image: http://indigo.seventh-star.net/files/2014/04/indigoink_header.png

    If you go to that image, it will work.

    I have domain mapping properly set up, near as I can tell, because you can also go to
    http://www.meredithsweet.com/files/2014/04/indigoink_header.png and THAT will also work.

    If I visit my site in my primary browser on my computer, I have no issue with the header showing up. On an alternate browser, the header doesn’t show up, and is pointing to http://indigo.seventh-star.net/files/2014/04/indigoink_header.png, but trying to go directly to the link will take you to the “Registration is disabled” error message (because it thinks you’re trying to go to http://seventh-star.net/wp-signup.php?new=indigo).

    On a mobile device which has never before accessed the site, the header shows up.

    I’m REALLY confused. Is there any way to find out why the header shows up when I go directly to the URL but doesn’t load on SOME browsers? Is it because I have to change something in the tables via PHPmyAdmin?

    I figured out what the issue was–I apologize for assuming it had to be this plugin doing it, because as it turned out, it was the WP Default Header plugin, which allows me to specify different headers for each page/post. I had set the headers that way, and when the URLs changed, the plugin didn’t know where to point, even though the header files existed at the new URLs and showed up as “options.”

    Another plugin, the CKEditor, had a way of generating links using existing WordPress pages, but it basically just inserted the existing URL–and that also needed updating once I changed the domain name.
