 * hello wordpress community 😉
 * i got an issue with the image attachment feature of worpdress. i’m running a 
   multi site setup with a few sites / domains all using the same installation.
 * ok … if you go there for example ->
 * [http://kohphangandivingblog.haadyaodivers.com/marine-life/whale-shark-spectacle-at-sail-rock-123.html](http://kohphangandivingblog.haadyaodivers.com/marine-life/whale-shark-spectacle-at-sail-rock-123.html)
 * you see a picture of a whale shark. if you click on the pic you will be send 
   to the attachment page ->
 * [http://kohphangandivingblog.haadyaodivers.com/marine-life/whale-shark-spectacle-at-sail-rock-123.html/attachment/whale-shark-sailrock-3](http://kohphangandivingblog.haadyaodivers.com/marine-life/whale-shark-spectacle-at-sail-rock-123.html/attachment/whale-shark-sailrock-3)
 * which works perfectly fine!
 * BUT … if you go to that page, another site on the same multi site install ->
 * [http://klinikclowns.lachtraenen.de/](http://klinikclowns.lachtraenen.de/)
 * and click on any image in the content area, e.g.
 * [http://klinikclowns.lachtraenen.de/willkommen/attachment/klinikclowns-lachen-beste-medizin](http://klinikclowns.lachtraenen.de/willkommen/attachment/klinikclowns-lachen-beste-medizin)
 * the image is also inserted into the post via the ‘attachment’ option …
 * i do get an apache 301 status error permanently removed in the web server log!
   and then gets redirected to the image file url ->
 * [http://klinikclowns.lachtraenen.de/files/2011/04/Klinikclowns-Lachen-Beste-Medizin.jpg](http://klinikclowns.lachtraenen.de/files/2011/04/Klinikclowns-Lachen-Beste-Medizin.jpg)
 * so … the attachment page doesn’t work here ;-( which makes me sort of sad as 
   i don’t know why ;-( could anyone please help 😉
 * it’s the same wordpress installation. both sites use the same permalinks structure,
   access the same rewrite rules in the .htaccess file … but on one site it works…
   and on another site it doesn’t ;-(
 * can someone please guide me towards the right direction to fix this issue as 
   i would really like to get this attachment feature working.
 * as any file or directory which doesn’t exist will be rewritten via mod_rewrite
   and then send over to the index.php page i think there might be something wrong
   with the wordpress rewrite rules in the ‘options’ table? probably an internal
   wordpress rewrite rule doesn’t catch and therefore i do get the 301 http status
   code error?
 * sadly i’m not a wordpress expert but some expert here might perhaps be able to
   send me in the right direction? any tips? any recommendation?
 * your help is more than appreciated 😉
 * thanks & all the best
    becki
