    Your plugin breaks Media Libray upon moving images inside of a standard vanilla WordPress Multisite installation on Windows 10 running via WAMP 64 bit. When you coded your plugin you did not take into account situations where users are hosted on a windows environment and so your plugin flips the “/” in image URL for the database to “\” all over the place for the URL, thereby breaking any images that are moved to a different folder with your plugin. Your plugin has created a complete nightmare I have to manually fix now.

    Can you go to the Support page of the plugin on your site, to the System Information tab, copy and paste your site’s system information into an email and send it to our support email address, [email protected] ?

    After examine the code and how it works with the paths in your multisite, I found that the issue is related to the name of subsite, ‘subsite2’. The code is looking for ‘site2’, as its blog ID is 2. WordPress may use identifiers such as ‘site2’, ‘site3’ etc., when it is formatting URLs. Thus I think that the updating of image links would work if avoiding the use of site names that include ‘site’ plus a number.

    The example I gave was just a generic example I gave for privacy reasons. My subsites are named for the domain names. Eg.. if my domain name was freecoupons.com I would have my subsite name freecoupons
    Or jumprope.com my subsite name would be jumprope

    I don’t use the subdomains development option, I use the subfolder option in Multisite. Since that is the easiest/simpliest way for localhost development on a local network.
