Changed a subdomain name and broke Timthumb images

Ugh.

You need to use this: https://interconnectit.com/124/search-and-replace-for-wordpress-databases/

Search the whole for demo3.swikeesites.com, replace with OnlineTeacher.swikeesites.com

Yes, the whole thing, not just demo3.

Hi Mike,

Thanks for the response.

So I did that I received this info:
In the process of replacing “demo3.swikeesites.com” with “OnlineTeacher.swikeesites.com” we scanned 75 tables with a total of 4456 rows, 33 cells were changed and 33 db update performed and it all took 0.923215 seconds.

But still getting the image issues. When I actually try to open the image path I get a TimThumb error (Could not find the internal image you specified.) so I think it may be something different.

https://onlineteacher.swikeesites.com/wp-content/themes/kaboodle/functions/thumb.php?src=https://OnlineTeacher.swikeesites.com/files/2012/06/learn.jpeg&w=159&h=100&zc=1&q=90

Well https://onlineteacher.swikeesites.com/files/2012/06/learn.jpeg&w=159&h=100&zc=1&q=90 works so the image is there, it’s just timThumb is an idiot. I take it that it worked before?

I also noticed that the thumbnails that are appearing have blogs.dir included:

src=”https://OnlineTeacher.swikeesites.com/wp-content/themes/kaboodle/functions/thumb.php?src=/blogs.dir/5/files/2012/06/calendar.png&w=159&h=100&zc=1&q=90″

While those not appearing do not:

Hi Mike,

Yes, it worked before. When I go into the page and remove the https:// then the thumbnail will appear but when I click on it the larger image then won’t. It’s as if when timthumb sees that https:// it doesn’t know what to do. Perhaps when I renamed the site it got saved as OnlineTeacher.swikeesites.com rather than https://OnlineTeacher.swikeesites.com ??

I had a feeling I shouldn’t have renamed, trust the gut I suppose.

This is (part of) why I hate TimThumb.

How did you change the name from demo3 to OnlineTeacher in the first place?

The Search/Replace I gave you would only have impacted the specific instances of demo3.swikeesites.com

I changed it in the main Network Admin of the multisite installation where you can Edit Site details. I changed the Domain field.

Sites > All Sites (selected the site) > Info Tab > Domain field

If that is all you did, then there’s no reason that TimThumb should have gone from /blogs.dir/5/files/2012 to OnlineTeacher.swikeesites.com/files/2012/

Except that it’s timthumb. Is this in a theme or a plugin?

Thanks for the continued help Mike. I’m using woothemes which comes with timthumb

okay, ask Woothemes directly ?? They have paid support.
