• I would appreciate some help with Media on my new site which has just gone live.
    I created the site from a purchased Theme and over the last month have been updating text and pictures. Fantastic as this is my first site.
    The new site was on my existing ISP’s Server in a folder as ‘newsite’ with the url: http://www.idcardservices.co.uk/newsite
    I asked my ISP how to remove the old site and install the new site, instructions as follows.
    On the day of moving, via FTP in public_html, I created a new folder ‘oldsite’. and put all the old site into the folder.
    Once done I opened my ‘new site’ folder and put all the contents into public_html
    In General settings I changed WordPress Address (URL) & Site Address by removing ‘newsite’
    Everything seems to work well and I have tested it in all the Browsers, pages are there, sliders work email form works, images are present etc.

    But, in my Media folder in wp-admin most of the pictures listed are unattached.
    When I upload a new picture it seems to upload the image but cannot be viewed and I get a broken link box on the actual web page.
    I now know that there was a better way of moving the WP site but did not see that at the time.

    This is my first site and I have very little technical knowledge and reading the WP support forum has only confused me more.
    I don’t want to lose the images I have on the site already but need to upload many more and cannot do it.
    Thanks
    MrB

  • Yes, I tried that too. I just re-downloaded a fresh one. But I can’t sign in to my admin panel to try it…It just loads a blank page. [ sig removed ]
