 * So I migrated a single site into a multisite and everything seems great with 
   pages and posts content, but the images are missing from posts and the media 
   library. I moved the wp-content/uploads/… folders over to the new server and 
   placed them in the wp-content/uploads/sites/16/ folder, 16 being the new site
   id in multisite. Newly created blog posts and media uploads are working fine 
   but all the pre-existing image links are looking for the images at wp-content/
   uploads/yyyy/mm/image.jpg
 * I must have missed a step somewhere but I’m having a hell of a time sorting it
   out as I’m not familiar with databases or phpmyadmin. Any ideas?

 * Yes, that is expected. The original asset links are still contained within the
   content. You typically need to have another mechanism to replace your urls. I
   do it via database command. Using plugins are much easier. Remember to backup
   your database beforehand. Here is one such plugin – [https://wordpress.org/plugins/velvet-blues-update-urls/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/velvet-blues-update-urls/)
