    Hi Folks,

    anyone know how to migrate and adjust blogs.dir into latest wp multisite (based on wp 4.x)?
    for some reason i want to replacing whole current wp multisite files with fresh download wp files, my current wp multisite was started older than wp 3.5 so its still using blogs.dir

    i really appreciate all answer, thank you

    I had no idea they switched blog.dir in the latest wp? what is it now?

    try flushing/rewriting the rewrite rules? try regenerating the network specific .htaccess? re-saving the network options page? in the network options page try changing the field for storing upload directory?

    besides that, quickest way I would think would be .htaccess rewrite something that would handle: “if url looks like this .../all-files/123/... it actually means .../blogs.dir/files/123/...“

    I’m guessing here, but something like

    RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)?/wp-content/all-files/(.+) wp-content/blogs.dir/all-files/$2 [L]

    It’s more complicated than that I’m afraid. Before looking at options can you explain why you want to do this?

    It’s not necessary and if you make a mistake (as I did) then you could be lining yourself up for a lot of work.

    But as Jan said, it’s a pain.
