Path to uploads folder after permalink change. (5 posts)

    Hi, I manually changed the permalink settings to not include /blog/ in the beginning.

    After the images onsite were broken and so was the upload process. The progressbar shows 0% and jumps right to the part where you're supposed to describe the image, where no thumbnail is shown.

    I'm now wondering if the permalink change is responsible for this and if someone could help me find out what the default path to the upload folder is. The one for WPMU (which I'm using) is probably not the same as for standard WP.

    Thanks!

    The path depends on the blog you're on. It's rewritten to strip the blogid out of it. And it works in 3.0 under multisite / networks exactly the same as it did in mu.

    I'm using the site as a CMS, with only one "blog" and then sorting the posts under categories for navigation. The MU functionality is only used to allow multiple contributers.

    Here is a link to a page with an image that can't be seen.

    The "Vikunja" under the topic is the image's alt-text.

    Check your .htaccess. You may be missing the /files/ rewriter.

    On mine, it looks like this:

    # uploaded files
    RewriteRule ^([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)?files/(.+) wp-includes/ms-files.php?file=$2 [L]

    I've added that line but to no improvement.

    My next course of action is to replace the wp-admin and wp-includes folders from a fresh install, does that sound like a plan?
