broken image links in the admin

    My site was hacked today, and I’ve spent the afternoon restoring it. This involved a bit of modifying the tables in phpMyAdmin to cobble together the various old backups I had.

    The site is working great again, but with a minor irritation:

    In the backend, none of the images in my posts are displaying. They are appearing as broken links (They display fine in the front end).

    It’s worth mentioning, that part of modifications to some of the tables in the database involved me doing a search and replace on all the full absolute URL’s – I’ve now made them all relative (knocking of the http://www.mysite.com/) – So I’m guessing this is where the problem lies.

    I’m hoping someone can point me the right direction. Do I need to make them absolute URL’s again? If so, any particular table?

    Thanks in advance

    Look at one of the broken images and paste the URL path here. Will help understand how to fix it.

    Thanks for the reply.

    I ended up modifying the table _posts, and re-instated the full URL path’s. That has fixed the problem. The site is working great again, and I’ve implemented a bunch of other improvements today. I bet the hacker didn’t anticipate that!
