No images in multisite

Is it possible I’ve housed this install by naming my WordPress directory itinerantangler.com/blog?

That seems like a crazy problem to have…

The third iteration works. Here are the full correct links:

Ok, now what? And thank you so much for your help. You are obviously the guru on this particular issue and I really appreciate you taking the time to help me.

This is a 3.4.2 install, yes. I’m trying to get everything working before I go through the hassle of upgrading. Looks like I just chose a bad time to make the switch; I gather 3.5 was just recently released?

I have asked my host to set the AllowOverride to Options All.

Is there any reason you can think of why I would be able to see images posted (in-line) in my posts with certain themes but not with others? I’m being told that the theme I am trying to customize (pinboard) requires featured images for its gallery view. I’ve set featured images independently as well as used a plug in to do so and nothing is happening. The theme is also not recognizing its header graphic nor allowing me to upload to the gallery, which I think is getting back to my .htaccess issue discussed above.

Thanks again for your help. Hopefully once the httpd.conf setting is ironed out my .htaccess rules will start getting respected and the rest of this will work out on its own.

No, they aren’t.

I’m arguing with my host over getting the httpd.conf file set correctly. Is it ‘AllowOverride Options All’ or ‘AllowOverride Options=All’ that I need to be getting them to set?

Unsurprisingly they don’t understand what I am trying to do and so I’m getting quite a bit of push back. I’m kinda pissed to be honest. Tech support was asking me to give them my log in credentials so they could ‘re create the issue,’ which obviously they don’t understand to begin with.

This sounds like a wp_config.php issue somehow, so just for reference, here is my complete config file (minus the passwords):

I feel like I am getting somewhere, but I still have issues with the media library and I still cannot seem to set a featured image, which is key fot the theme I am using.

I can now upload an image to the media library, and that image is searchable by its (redirected) link. For example:

http://www.itinerantangler.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/jaystreamsmall.jpg

That picture showed up in the media library after I created a test post simply linking to it.

However, my media library still has no thumbnails. I downloaded a plugin called ‘Regenerate Thumbnails,’ and this is the error message it throws:

‘Debugging Information

Total Images: 1
Images Resized: 0
Resize Failures: 1

“jaystreamsmall” (ID 1034) failed to resize. The error message was: The originally uploaded image file cannot be found at’

Note that it doesn’t actually produce the file location, which tells me something is still not being redirected within the media library.

Overall setting up a multisite has been ridiculously difficult. I am really surprised as I thought WordPress was billing itself as a content management system at this point, and of course having different themes in different areas of a blog is a pretty straightforward request…

Any help would be greatly appreciated. I think if I can sort out the media library thumbnail linking issues I will be able to set feature images and my theme will probably work as promised.
