Title: Broken Image/media Last modified: August 19, 2016 --- # Broken Image/media * [scherschels](https://wordpress.org/support/users/scherschels/) * (@scherschels) * [15 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/broken-imagemedia/) * Right now I am running a wordpress network with around 300 blogs. All except the main blogs images are broken. They upload to the correct folder in blog.dir but they do not show up. I am able to see images on the main site but that is all. Here is my .htaccess file * ``` RewriteEngine On RewriteBase / #uploaded files RewriteRule ^(.*/)?files/$ index.php [L] RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !.*wp-content/plugins.* RewriteRule ^(.*/)?files/(.*) wp-includes/ms-files.php?file=$2 [L] # add a trailing slash to /wp-admin RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^.*/wp-admin$ RewriteRule ^(.+)$ $1/ [R=301,L] RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f [OR] RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d RewriteRule . - [L] RewriteRule ^([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)?(wp-.*) $2 [L] RewriteRule ^([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)?(.*\.php)$ $2 [L] RewriteRule . index.php [L] SecFilterEngine Off SecFilterScanPOST Off ``` * Any one have any ideas?

There’s a lot out of date there… * There are now different .htaccess’ to use, if you’re using SubFolder or SubDomain installs [http://codex.wordpress.org/Create_A_Network#.htaccess_and_Mod_Rewrite](http://codex.wordpress.org/Create_A_Network#.htaccess_and_Mod_Rewrite) * Thread Starter [scherschels](https://wordpress.org/support/users/scherschels/) * (@scherschels) * [15 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/broken-imagemedia/#post-1843370) * Yes it was from WPMU 2.8 but everything was ok at 3.0.1 but once it went to 3.0.3 they broke. I also had some server issues that corrupted some of my database. I think I have everything in the database repaired but still not sure if it is a database or a .htaccess issue. * Thread Starter [scherschels](https://wordpress.org/support/users/scherschels/) * (@scherschels) * [15 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/broken-imagemedia/#post-1843371) * I am also using subfolders * [http://blogs.wws.k12.in.us](http://blogs.wws.k12.in.us) * the blogs in the are all effected. * [Andrea Rennick](https://wordpress.org/support/users/andrea_r/) * (@andrea_r) * [15 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/broken-imagemedia/#post-1843382) * > everything was ok at 3.0.1 but once it went to 3.0.3 they broke * This would be the kicker here. The rewrite rules should not have been affected.:-/ * I’d be double-checking those db issues to see if anything affecting images was related to it first. * Moderator [Ipstenu (Mika Epstein)](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ipstenu/) * (@ipstenu) * 🏳️‍🌈 Advisor and Activist * [15 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/broken-imagemedia/#post-1843391) * Since the .htaccess is a brainless fix I’d start with this: * ``` # BEGIN WordPress RewriteEngine On RewriteBase / RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L] # uploaded files RewriteRule ^([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)?files/(.+) wp-includes/ms-files.php?file=$2 [L] # add a trailing slash to /wp-admin RewriteRule ^([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)?wp-admin$ $1wp-admin/ [R=301,L] RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f [OR] RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d RewriteRule ^ - [L] RewriteRule ^[_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/(wp-(content|admin|includes).*) $1 [L] RewriteRule ^[_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/(.*\.php)$ $1 [L] RewriteRule . index.php [L] # END WordPress SecFilterEngine Off SecFilterScanPOST Off ``` * I mean, I doubt it’ll fix it, but it WILL be somewhat more efficient, and then you can narrow it all down. * Thread Starter [scherschels](https://wordpress.org/support/users/scherschels/) * (@scherschels) * [15 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/broken-imagemedia/#post-1843395) * Thanks Ipstenu you were right nothing really changed.
