Upload and media library directory/path problem

  • Resolved Bertalan

    10 years, 10 months ago

    I had a well working version of multi site install. (3.8 now 3.9)
    I tried to use some plugin (Tribulant Slideshow gallery)
    and end up with a miss settings, I deactivated it but no change.

    1. My earlier uploads to
    wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2014/01
    could not be seen in Media Library and it could not be edited
    (no thumbnails only text and broken ikon)

    2. If I upload a new picture it is going to
    wp-content/blogs.dir/2/files/2014/04
    and could not be seen in Media Library (text as above)
    but could be open for edit.

    I am looking for:
    how should I set back to dir Media lib to see my earlier uploads?
    how should I set back my uploads dir instead of blogs.dir?
    (as I know blogs.dir was used multi <3.5 why it is appeared now?)

    thank you for your kind help

    That’s a bizarre regression.

    Go to youdomain.com//wp-admin/network/sites.php

    Click on ‘edit’ for site #2 (should take you to /wp-admin/network/site-info.php?id=2 )

    Go to the settings tab.

    Look for Upload Path, Upload URL Path and Fileupload Url. You can blank them all out. Yes, blank.

    Then in your database, look at the table wp_sitemeta – Is there an entry for ms_files_rewriting ?

    ok I blanked the Upload Path and Upload Url Path
    (earlier I tried some value here)
    I have no Fileupload Url,
    however I have Blog Upload Space which is also empty/blank.
    yes I have wp_sitemeta and ms_files_rewriting with value of 1
    should I delete or change its value? (cpanel)

    Try changing ms_files_rewriting to 0

    ok, I set it up to 0
    it seems to be it solved the upload problem
    now new uploads are going to:
    wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2014/05
    and I can see my all earlier uploads from Media Library

    lessons learned:
    -it should be indicated with a plugin that is it
    multi site compatible or not,
    just say that compatible with 3.9 etc. is not enough…
    -back up before any bigger change (=install a new plugin)
    it is free and can save hours/days for you

    Mika, thank you very much for your kind help,
    seems to be you are real guru ??
