 * Hi all,
 * First off, here is a copy of my htaccess FWIW:
 *     ```
       # disable directory browsing
       Options All -Indexes
   
       # Protect htaccess
       <files ~ "^.*\.([Hh][Tt][Aa])">
       order allow,deny
       deny from all
       satisfy all
       </files>
   
       <Files wp-config.php>
       order allow,deny
       deny from all
       </Files>
   
       # prevent viewing of a specific file
       <files config.php>
        order allow,deny
        deny from all
       </files>
   
       Options +FollowSymLinks
   
       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).*) $2 [L]
       RewriteRule ^([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)?(.*\.php)$ $2 [L]
       RewriteRule . index.php [L]
       ```
   
 * I am encountering an issue where I have changed my sub-directory install site
   from example.com/a to example.com/b and the images are still showing a path to
   example.com/a, even though I am using example.com/b now. Also when I say the 
   images are still showing, they aren’t displaying, but when viewing the source
   of the path, it shows that they are linked to example.com/a.
 * My question is, is how do I remedy this and get this sorted out appropriately?
   Thank you in advance for the help.
