Moved sites from multisite network a to b and now images are broken

Now that I think about it, blogs.dir should be hidden at all times right? What might be a reason it’s showing on the front end?

So it looks like the files are displaying with the url https://subdomain.domain.com/wp-content/blogs.dir/121/files/2013/05/benefits.jpg because the upload path explicitly says: wp-content/blogs.dir/121/files

When I remove it, the img src becomes

https://subdomain.domain.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/121/2013/05/benefits.jpg

The images still don’t link properly and we still see the 121 site id in the url.

Any ideas?

So the problem here is that your OLD install probably started its life as a pre WP 3.5 version of Multisite.

The new install started on 3.7 (guessing there, but if it was 3.5, 3.6 or 3.7, it’s the same thing).

In 3.5, we changed where images are stored.

https://subdomain.domain.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/121/2013/05/benefits.jpg is what the files SHOULD live in.

Easiest fix? Search/Replace the wp_x_posts tables and change wp-content/blogs.dir/121/files to wp-content/sites/121 in your post content. Should take care of it.
