    I am rebuilding my site now... received help via here: http://wordpress.org/support/topic/329534?replies=27

    Thank you again for that. Now I seem to have another issue. I can't upload pictures. It seems to upload them from my computer (via the uploader) but then I get an empty box there. I've never had this issue before.

    Thanks,

    Amy

    Did you drop your tables and start over or just continue with what was installed for that 2nd domain?

    If it was the latter, then the fileupload_realpath or fileupload_url values might be wrong in your wp_options table.

    Make that upload_path and upload_url_path

    You can first try to change that via Settings->Miscellaneous

    You might also use http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/search-and-replace/ to make sure there's no other references to that 2nd domain.

    Also make sure you have the correct file permissions on your wp-content/uploads folder (if that's where you are uploading pics). May need 755 or 777 permissions.

    When I go to settings/miscellaneous it has the setting for where to store uploads as here:

    www/fitfrugalfamily.com/wp-content/uploads

    while my site is Housewifehacks.com remember that wordpress is using the database from fitfrugalfamily. Should I change this or leave it?

    Set 'Store uploads in this folder' to wp-content/uploads and if necessary, blank out the 'Full URL path to files' field.

    Yes just wp-content/uploads (not the full url)

    Thanks Michael. It works!

    Since you're familiar with what's going on with my site, can I please ask you one more thing: I installed the LinkWithin plugin. It's still detecting old posts that I lost. I have no idea how it would do this. So when you click that link it goes back to my main page because the content isn't available.

    What gives?

    Thanks,

    Amy

    Well if it's linkwithin.com it says there:

    We retrieve and index all stories from your blog archive, not just recent stories, making them accessible to new or casual readers of your blog who would not otherwise encounter them.

    so that would explain it. Meaning they seem to keep a cache of your stories...not sure what happens in a case like yours...might need to contact them.

    Thanks Michael. I emailed them. I was spooked.
