   Hello,

   I have just moved my site from one server to another. I followed directions that said: export site using WordPress export tool, backup wp-content folder. On new server, install WordPress, upload wp-content, and then import site from xml file. I did all this, and now when I look at the Media Library, I see all my images. However, the images are missing from posts and thumbnails. When I look at the new server using FTP, the images are all where they are supposed to be in the wp-content/uploads folder. From reading posts on this topic, I gather that the database is somehow still pointing to my old server in a way that I can't see by looking at the url within the Media Library window. From there the path looks right. What should I do at this point to correct the url of the images without having to re-upload each image and format each post?

   Heartfelt thanks for any help,

   Jen

   P.S. the URL for the images looks like this:

   http://chrysosdesigns.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/fiverings11.jpg

   and my htaccess looks like this on the new server:

   # -FrontPage-

   IndexIgnore .htaccess */.??* *~ *# */HEADER* */README* */_vti*

   <Limit GET POST>
   order deny,allow
   deny from all
   allow from all
   </Limit>
   <Limit PUT DELETE>
   order deny,allow
   deny from all
   </Limit>
   AuthName chrysosdesigns.com
   AuthUserFile /home/chrysosd/public_html/_vti_pvt/service.pwd
   AuthGroupFile /home/chrysosd/public_html/_vti_pvt/service.grp
