    Ah, as with all weird issues it seems, the cause was me doing something stupid! I made the mistake of defining the uploads folder in the Settings – Media as an absolute path, rather than a relative one, which resulted in wordpress bolting on the extra url on the fly.

    Actually, it seems I spoke too soon. The links have all changed themselves again. This is a really weird issue.

    I have tried the search you suggested, but it didn’t come back with any results….

    Ah, thanks for the response.

    Apparently since wordpress 4.1 image urls are no longer stored in the database, (said some posts I read, I don’t know where they are stored now) which is why the the search and replace didnt work.

    Anyway, I dropped the database, then imported it again from the old server, ran the search and replace for the permalinks and now everything seems to work.

    Weird, but working.. thats good enough for me 😀

    Fixed it, I had to drop the database, and re-import it.
