   Hey there,

   I've got a substantial issue and I can't seem to find a solution.

   I had a site on domain1.com/ which has been moved to subdomain.domain2.com/domain1title/. On the original host the media settings specified an absolute path for the uploads folder (even though it was in the default wp-content/uploads location). On moving the site I updated the media settings to use the default location (just deleted the absolute path from the box).

   I just found out that all pre-move image uploads are only showing the "Full Size" image option when going to insert an image. Any images I have uploaded post-move are correctly showing the various thumbnail sizes as appropriate.

   I have checked:

   1. Permissions/ownership of wp-content/uploads and sub-dirs: these are correct
   2. The files physically exist
   3. The wp_options table doesn't show any value for upload_path option
   4. wp_postmeta appears to show that the database has the correct listing for all thumbnail sizes on each attachment, and no mention within the attachment metadata of anything that, I think, would influence WP into not seeing the thumbnails eg | 535 | 1026 | _wp_attachment_metadata | a:6:{s:5:"width";s:3:"659";s:6:"height";s:3:"527";s:14:"hwstring_small";s:23:"height='96' width='120'";s:4:"file";s:22:"2009/12/dutch_kyak.jpg";s:5:"sizes";a:3:{s:18:"topper-world-thumb";a:3:{s:4:"file";s:22:"dutch_kyak-180x180.jpg";s:5:"width";s:3:"180";s:6:"height";s:3:"180";}s:14:"home-box-thumb";a:3:{s:4:"file";s:21:"dutch_kyak-215x95.jpg";s:5:"width";s:3:"215";s:6:"height";s:2:"95";}s:13:"nyc-cat-thumb";a:3:{s:4:"file";s:22:"dutch_kyak-150x150.jpg";s:5:"width";s:3:"150";s:6:"height";s:3:"150";}}s:10:"image_meta";a:10:{s:8:"aperture";s:1:"0";s:6:"credit";s:0:"";s:6:"camera";s:0:"";s:7:"caption";s:0:"";s:17:"created_timestamp";s:1:"0";s:9:"copyright";s:0:"";s:12:"focal_length";s:1:"0";s:3:"iso";s:1:"0";s:13:"shutter_speed";s:1:"0";s:5:"title";s:0:"";}}
   5. I tried regenerate thumbnails which appears to have successfully recreated all thumbnails (plus some additional sizes I needed) and still it's not showing up thumbnails on pre-move image uploads.
   6. I've tried entering the absolute path on the new hosting platform but again no change
   7. I've done repair/optimise database function in WP, no change
   8. I've searched full db for any other old mentions of the absolute path that was set when WP was on the old host, and found no mention
   9. GD lib is installed on server. New uploads work correctly.

   Any thoughts? How do I get WP to recognise that those original thumbnails do exist. This is causing me much confusion.
