Hi
Thanks for the help I’ve marked it resolved. The thing that has taked me a long time tonight to grasp and I thought it worth documenting it here in case it catches any other ‘newbies’ out is that the conoical part of the url is important. so although http://www.sitename.co.uk/dir/file and http://sitename.co.uk/dir/filename are physically the same file it will create 2 records and they will show up on as two seperate instances. Still a timely reminder to be less casual in my addressing!

Thanks for your help I doubt that I would have got there without it, your tools and your patience.

Regards

I have re-opened this case because I have corrected the underlying move problem but the duplicate folders problem still exists.

AlanP57 was kind enough to send me your diagnostic tool.

In MLP I see several 2012 folders several 2013 etc. in these folders there are months but they are not necessarily the same for each year thus 2012(10 may have 01, 04 and 2012(2) may have 01,02,03 etc.

I used the library clean plugin and discovered that the media library was finding valid URLs for all of these items (they were duplicates but point to one file on the server)

I tried using reset database but while this clears the mlmplus tables I suspect that the problem is with wp_posts.
When you re-activate MLP the duplcates re-appear.

If you scan folders you can see a report at the end that matches what I think is effectively subdir1 (month); directory name; url; top level directory (year)
if you check in wp_posts these records are labelled “mgmlp_media_folder”

I wonder if I remove these records from wp_posts and reset the database will this correct the problem of duplicate directories?

Regards

Update,
I have got featured image so now can achieve the image and the post using featured image. What I can’t do is have the image open at full size when you click through to full post.
