    I had my WP installation moved from a subdirectory to root. Everything works OK visually but there area a few glitches.

    All the PDF links are broken. I can’t see where they are on the server as they don’t appear to be in the /wp-content/uploads/ folders – its just full of images. When I look in the page edit it shows a link to mysite/index.php/download_file/view/1099/96/

    What’s location are these referring to? Any way to repair them?

    I’d add that I didn’t put the content in the website, so I don’t know where the files are uploaded from.

    Hi @vitualbob

    They are being served dynamically through PHP. These are not static links to files like image files.

    As long as you changed the urls from example.org/subdir/ to example.org correctly, these should work as it is. But if anywhere in the plugin, its caching the file paths or make use of path, you will need to make the plugin aware of the same thing. Check the documentation specific to the plugin you are using for PDF files.

    Thanks @ashfame – I thought that might be the case. No idea what plug-in they are using but it might be mailchimp. I’ll ask the content person.
