I had this a while back. I used update urls plugin to resolve the database url issues. I checked via phpadmin then used the simple search replace featue to resolve.

thanks for the hint – works now!
regarding UAM: the site worked fine without file access protection – resetting UAM wouldn’t help, though…
we had a WP site running with UAM for file access on a test subdomain (test.example.com) and have now switched the installation to the productive domain (www.example.com) – problem is: the file access protection is now blocking all access to all images and media files
@noluck:
Curious as to how you moved the test site files to the productive site?
By any chance did you use the Duplicator Plugin or something similar?
I’m moving a test site to the productive domain in the very near future and hope to avoid any potential issues…
Thanks!

actually we only changed the (sub) domain – the files / installation stayed at the same place physically…
@noluck:
So you manually changed all the URL’s?

we use relative links for internal ressources – so there was no need for changes (or shouldn’t have been…)
obviously there were ‘deeper’ references, though, which led to the said problem – the update URL plug-in solved it (probably a search & replace in the database would also do the job – as always, I’d strongly advise a good backup before any such steps, of course)
