Images gone

Did you see the line about changing the image url rewrite rule in htaccess?

Recap:
https://wpmututorials.com/how-to/upgrading-to-3-0/

htaccess looks like this –

RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase BASE/

#uploaded files
RewriteRule ^(.*/)?files/$ index.php [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !.*wp-content/plugins.*
RewriteRule ^(.*/)?files/(.*) wp-includes/ms-files.php?file=$2 [L]

# add a trailing slash to /wp-admin
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^.*/wp-admin$
RewriteRule ^(.+)$ $1/ [R=301,L]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f [OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d
RewriteRule . – [L]
RewriteRule ^([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)?(wp-.*) $2 [L]
RewriteRule ^([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)?(.*\.php)$ $2 [L]
RewriteRule . index.php [L]

<IfModule mod_security.c>
<Files async-upload.php>
SecFilterEngine Off
SecFilterScanPOST Off
</Files>
</IfModule>

I think I have this right?

Just an FYI – I’m not accessing .htaccess, but htaccess.dist on my server.
Does that make a difference?

It might but… Are you using subfolders or subdomains for your subsites?

My sites are at the following URLs
https://pause.matthewslaats.com/projects/
https://powers.matthewslaats.com/projects/

I don’t think that works. I’m pretty sure you can’t do subdomains if your install is in a subfolder.

You’d need to put your site in https://matthewslaats.com for it to be able to use https://pause.matthewslaats.com/ and https://powers.matthewslaats.com/

But you have a strange mix and I’m pretty sure that borks.

You MIGHT try this .htaccess but I offer no promises:

# BEGIN WordPress
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /projects
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]

# uploaded files
RewriteRule ^files/(.+) wp-includes/ms-files.php?file=$1 [L]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f [OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d
RewriteRule ^ - [L]
RewriteRule . index.php [L]
# END WordPress

Just an FYI – I’m not accessing .htaccess, but htaccess.dist on my server.

Uh, YES.

htaccess.dist was a file WPMU used to build the .htaccess file. this file is hidden by default, if you do not see it, check “view hidden file” in whatever you;re using to look at the files.

you can change the contents of htaccess.dist until the cows come home, it will not make one whit of difference.

I’m pretty sure you can’t do subdomains if your install is in a subfolder.

Sure you can. You can’t remove the foldername is all.
