   Recently moved WP out of /blog/ directory to root.

   Managed to S&R the old /blog/ entries left over in the MySql database wp-postmeta table ok.

   BUT, can´t figure out how to fix the thumbnails and image paths in the wp-admin > Media Library.

   I could find only partial hints to solving this question on the forums.
   Mostly guesswork. Nothing authoritative.

   Is this possible?
   If so, what are my options?

   Do I have to keep a duplicate copy of the images in the old blog/wp-content/upload/ folder? Duh..

   Do I have to manually upload a bunch of images (again)? Duh..

   I would appreciate some thoughtful advice on this subject.

   I know this is old now, but for the benefit of anyone else that might search for this (as I did)

   If you're game you can search and replace in your database using the method that Lorelle gave.

   You can use the code she gives for the actual post content and I used the following code the get the thumbnails to show in the media library again (after moving folder from root back to wp-content).

   UPDATE wp_posts SET guid = REPLACE (
   guid,
   'http://www.kristarella.com/uploads',
   'http://www.kristarella.com/wp-content/uploads');

   Not sure if it's the same issue, but Media Library paths are held in SETTINGS -> MISCELLANEOUS. I just changed the folder to the new one and it fixed itself.
