Well, they keep insisting that they can’t do it, and if they could it wouldn’t fix it. She did admit however, that they don’t see MU often. They refuse to help me any further and told me again, my options are to start from scratch or create the folder WP is trying to fetch from.

So, now my question is, is there a hosting company that I can move to that will be able to run MU correctly? And is there a hosting company that will help me get this mess straightened out? I am so doubtful right now.

Sorry I haven’t been back to resolve this! Life gets busy. So, I spoke to my host this morning and he showed me how to get to the .htaccess file. But he cautioned me to be sure that I am to make that change in the root directory. Is that correct? Also, how exactly do I set AllowOverride to ALL. Do I just scroll through the file until I see the AllowOverride?

The rep I am speaking with is saying whether it is set to yes or no doesn’t matter because they cannot change it. Took some rangling, but he finally said No.

He said it wouldn’t make a difference if it was set to all, I would still be having the trouble with my images, he kept going back to the “non-standard link” thing.

I checked the .htaccess and it looks good. I called my server company last night and after nearly 30 minutes, their answer for my problem is that suddenly WP is calling for the images from /files and that directory doesn’t exist. They couldn’t tell me why it changed but suggested that I deactivate all my plugins for the subdomains. I network deactivated all plugins, no dice! Their next suggestion was to delete all my subdomains and start from scratch. ?? Their last suggestion was to go through and manually change the name of all my pics so that when wp calls for them in /files, they are there.

Please tell me there is an easier fix!

YES! Thank you so much, that fixed it! Now to fix the other 3. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Ok, from looking at my other sites, I determined this wp-content/blogs.dir/11/files for the Upload Path. I determined https://cooking.thefrazzledmama.com/files for the fileupload url. That is how my other sites are setup, the value “11” being the number assigned to that blog by WPMU. I made the changes and I still can’t see my images.

Just to clarify, I couldn’t see them with the default settings, which is why I attempted to tweak them.

Okay, it was late when I posted my first post. Maybe I was unclear. My images are not showing up in my posts. I assumed the folder was wrong because that’s not where my images have gone for my original blog. I went ahead and published this post, just in case it would help for others to actually see what I mean.

Well, I added what it told me to in the .htaccess. Here’s what my current .htaccess looks like.

Yes, I did create a blogs.dir folder in wp-content. Were there specific permission settings for that folder? Maybe I missed them….

It’s perfect. Thank you SO much!

@esmi – Thanks for your patience. I totally misunderstood. I did what you said ??

Thanks!

@elf Nope, doesn’t work in this one. I had to edit the theme to get ride of the sidebar stuff, which I had no problem with. But the footer did not change.

Okay, I must have misunderstood. I edited the index.php. Sorry to be so dinky. Ok, in the footer.php, it’s all the coded junk, so I am going to just cut that all out and put in the amended code???

Crud! It’s in there. I opened the theme editor, open the index.php file and removed the get footer that was there, and then added what you sent me. I am SO frustrated with this thing. I don’t want to remove the credit, I just want the extra stuff gone!

Ok, did that, now what do you need to see?

Ok, that is what I was trying to figure out. I was following advice from jwmort. Here is what my footer looks like when I open it in the editor.
