So, I've updated my blog to 3.0 and I realized that old posts looked funny. Started digging and found that the URL of the uploaded images was all wrong.
Instead of being http://www.myblog.com/uploads/year/month/name.jpg older posts has the following URL structure http://www.myblog.com/uploads//.server/user/myblog.com/uploads/year/month/name.jpg
Anyone got a way to fix that?

maybe resetting your upload directory in settings->media
if the path is correct, just hit save again

Thanks for the suggestion, but it didn't do any difference :/

hmm....too bad.... well, I guess a search and replace may work?
Using this plugin
http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/search-and-replace/
replace most of the url.... such as:
http://www.myblog.com/uploads//.server/user/myblog.com/uploads/year/month/
with
http://www.myblog.com/uploads/year/month/
If the URLs are all wrong in the same manner, that would work....

Well the strange thing is that the code isn't in the DB, it's like WP has dabbled with some black magic.
Looks like I'm not alone thought: http://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/12549#comment:23
Are you using multisite?

Haha ok, now I'm just confused. I did the search and replace anyway, WP told me that it didn't find anything to change. But now all the old images work again.
As I said, black magic.

I have the same issue although I did not upgrade to 3.0 ! My blog is still in 2.9 and I did nothing special. But suddenly today it occured to me that all images dated 27/3/2009 or older have this issue : they are displayed neither in my media library nor in post galleries.
Their URL contains the site directory path :
http://www.ready.to.get.free.fr/wp-content//mnt/104/sdb/a/6/www.ready.to.get/wp-content/img_4650.jpg
Although the URL should be simply like this :
http://www.ready.to.get.free.fr/wp-content/img_4650.jpg
An example of broken gallery :
http://www.ready.to.get.free.fr/index.php/2008/05/un-soleil-estival/
I checked the database, all is fine. So it is a WP function which is playing wrong.
I do not remember what happened on the day until which are media are corrupt. Maybe it is the day when I checked the option to organize my media in year/month folders ??
Anyway, this has nothing to do with WP 3.0 or multi-site.
So maybe I should try black magic... ;) Or just wait ? :P
