Multisite upload error/ fail

  • I am having a problem with uploads on the whole multisite.
    The site contains: Mainsite and three subsites (as map, not domain)

    When i upload a image, attachment of something it is showing in de media list, but the image is not viewable, also the link to image is not recognized. What do i need to do? Here is my (.htaccess)-file

    <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]

# uploaded files
RewriteRule ^([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)?files/(.+) wp-includes/ms-files.php?file=$2 [L]

# add a trailing slash to /wp-admin
RewriteRule ^([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)?wp-admin$ $1wp-admin/ [R=301,L]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f [OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d
RewriteRule ^ - [L]
RewriteRule  ^[_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/(wp-(content|admin|includes).*) $1 [L]
RewriteRule  ^[_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/(.*\.php)$ $1 [L]
RewriteRule . index.php [L]
</IfModule>

    You say it’s failing. Do you mean WP gives an error? If so, what error?

    Have you checked your server error logs?

    I have a same/similar problem:

    finally I discovered that my old uploads are in
    uploads/sites/x/2014/04 etc so in the new (3.5+) structure

    however might be some plugin set the upload directory back to the
    blogs.dir/x/files/2014/04 etc
    as the media library also use this one I do not see the images…

    how can I set back the upload dir according to 3.9 ? (uploads)

    No not failing the upload. It’s uploading, but not showing as a image.
    I checked out the folder on the webhost server. And it was uploaded to the folder;
    the upload path in the settings says:
    wp-content/blogs.dir/2/files
    wp-content/blogs.dir/3/files
    wp-content/blogs.dir/4/files

    And i have three childsites and a mainsite

    I have a site on a domain in a subfolder under a subdomain.
    The mainsite is running with another wp installation.

    Therefore i created a subdomain and there i installed the wp multisite.
    example:
    domain.com -> normal wordpress installation
    sub.domain.com -> installation multisite (but in the root it is a folder)
    multisite folder: root\multisite\childsite

    I tested through XAMPP localhost with WP multisite installatie and with same idea. It get’s uploaded.

    as i understand so far the /blogs.dir/x is an old (<3.5) structure for multisite uploads, the new one is the uploads/sites

    this is my idea that one of the plugin, (in my case most probably the Tribulant Slideshow dir check function) which is not compatible with >3.5 multi site changed back the upload directory settings to the old blogs.dir style

    however the deactivating/uninstall the plugin is not enough as it made changes in the path settings… (in the data base?)

    I am looking for how to set up the path for the upload and the media library, without success so far

    I do not want to restore an older system from backup without this as I have some new users etc. (lessons learned: more frequent backup and backup before any new editing)

    Bertalan – You have a similar but separate issue. Please make your own post. It’s too hard to debug two separate issues in one thread.

    No not failing the upload. It’s uploading, but not showing as a image.

    So you get the broken image?

    sub.domain.com -> installation multisite (but in the root it is a folder)

    What does that mean?

    Where is multisite actually installed?
