Content Image Source URL

    Hello and good day.

    I am working on a WordPress multisite…site where in the future, after all the features and pages are done, we are going to change the url and make it live.

    For example, our multisite url at the moment is…

    mysite.com/blog/

    But we’re going to change it later, example, like this…

    mysite.com/note/

    At the moment, the images that we’ve uploaded have links like

    /blog/subblog/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2014/11/name.jpg

    We are worried that once we changed our site url from [blog] to [note], all the images in the posts will be broken. Because on our posts, we are posting images like this…

    <img class=”alignnone size-large wp-image-441″ src=”/blog/subblog/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2014/11/name.jpg” alt=”name” width=”650″ height=”841″ />

    So my question is that is there a way for me to add a function in the functions.php wherein I can change the post images into something like this?

    <?php echo network_home_url(); ?>wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2014/11/name.jpg

    Thanks~

  • That’s some pretty fancy thinking, but it’s not likely to work using the functions.php. However, what you are describing seems to be mimicking what the htaccess is there to do, so that would be the place to try something, but using regex, not php. And I”m not the guy to give you advice on that. What I will say is that if the /blog/ is part of the path to the multisite, you’ll need to be sure you get that into your network settings properly, but once you’ve done that, you might be good to go, ie no further shenanigans necessary.

    When you change blog to note in your network, you’ll want to run a search/replace.

    Search for mysite.com/blog/ and replace with mysite.com/note/

    Should fix everything.

    We have found a solution to this problem of ours though.

    We simply added this bit of code in our functions.php

    /* change image url in posts */

function domain_shortcode() {
    if ( preg_match( '|^https?://[^/]+|', get_option( 'home' ), $m ) ) {
        $domain = $m[0] . '/blog';
    } else {
        $domain = '';
    }
    return $domain;
}
add_shortcode( 'domain', 'domain_shortcode' );

/* end of change image url in posts */

    We plan on simply change that “$domain = $m[0] . ‘/blog’;” line into “$domain = $m[0] . ‘/note‘;” or whatever we’ll be changing it in the future.
    With that, we can now simply add [domain] on our image sources on posts.
    <img src="[domain]/canada/test.png">

    The only issue with that is that the images are broken when on the post’s [View] tab. But as long as we can see the images on the actual site, then there’s no problem. ^^
