 * Hello!
    A few days ago we had to change our hosting and export/import our blog(
   nocontinue.com).
 * The problem is that when we installed a new wordpress and imported the posts 
   this new instalation is trying to get the images with this path: ourblog.com/
   wp-content/year/month/image.jpg but we NEVER used the year/month based folders!
 * We forced the media settings to “/wp-content/uploads/” this makes the images 
   visible but we can’t upload new images. If we let it by defoult it allow us to
   upload images but the old images aren’t avaible becouse wordpress try to get 
   them in the year/month path.
 * I don’t know what to do. We tried searching for wrong path on phpmyadmin but 
   there is no one. These are like 1000 images, we can’t just re upload them and
   re-atach them.
 * Any ideas?
 * Thank you! My english is not very good. I hope you understand. 🙂

 * Look at your site URL and home settings. Make sure they are set correctly. Also,
   make sure all the settings in the new installation of WordPress are set exactly
   the same as the old host. Here’s a link to changing the site URL:
