This part of the log file may help?

Hi! One thing you can do to identify the correct location is to create a new site using the standard Add Site in the Network Admin area, then go to that new site and upload an image, then explore the directories through FTP and see where it landed. That might give you enough clues to figure out how to mimic it and where to copy the other files to for the previous ID location. Depending on your version of WordPress and upgrade history the right location could vary.

However, even then, it’s possible that that if the files are in the right spot the file paths in the clone are off if something is unusual about your hosting or environment.

If you’d like to send us the cloner log files from /wp-content/plugins/ns-cloner-site-copier/logs we’d be happy to take a look.

Thanks!

Ah! Posted at nearly the same time. Yes, that does help.

So, it looks like if you copy your 2013 folder to here:
/wp-content/blogs.dir/6/files
it should work. Final location should look like:
/wp-content/blogs.dir/6/files/2013
/wp-content/blogs.dir/8/files/2013
…etc.

Hope that does the trick!

will try now and let you know, thanks!

no change…media files uploaded : wp-content/blogs.dir/6/files/2013 but still nothing shows.. also tried putting it directly into blog.dir/6 but that does not work either. any other ideas? Thanks

Bummer!

Ok, can you look at the URL behind the missing images in the clone site by inspecting the HTML source getting rendered to the page and see where they are pointing? What location is is looking for on the page / content? That might tell us where you need to put them. That would be the next thing to check.

I have fixed it but will leave it up to you to try and figure out WHY this works… I uploaded to both wp-content/blogs.dir/6/2013/
AND wp-content/uploads/sites/6/2013 and now it works. Does that make any sense?

Hmmm… maybe it’s just the second try that is working. Looking at the logs it looked like you had an older original version of WP but maybe the Cloner couldn’t auto-detect it correctly. I’m guessing the last location was the correct one. Glad you figured it out!
