RESOLVED!
The wonderful people on the IRC #wordpress channel were able to help me with this.
The problem: Settings -> Misc -> uploads file path incorrect.
The solution: Correct it.

*EDIT: The above plugin works with posts as well. Sorry

So it does. Sorry about that. Thanks again.

Do you know if there is a similar plugin for posts?

The following will work with pages. If you want it to do it with posts, you’ll have to find something else

Awesome, I’ve not seen that plugin; it looks like it’ll be exactly what I need. Thank you sir!

I need the ability to do this too. I’m not sure why this is not a basic function… I imagine there are a lot of people that want to do this.

There is one hideously bad solution. Instead of using the_title() in your code, you can use the_excerpt_reloaded() and have a page with just the link to the pdf or external url. As I said, that is a hideous solution that will only work in certain cases.

The entire site is on https:
That is irrelevant to the issue though. I have a site on http: that is having the same issue. I think it has something to do with the added /2009/11/
Wordpress used to upload things directly to /uploads/

As this is a backend problem you would get prompted for a password. So I’ll try to clarify a little more:
I go to the image uploader (add an image). In the “From Computer” tab, I press “Select Files”. I then upload an image (from my <home>/pictures directory). I then “Insert into Post”.
It shows up as a blank image. And the “HTML” tab shows that the URL has been changed to: <img src="https://www.agcu.org/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/00698_snowmountains_1280x800.jpg" />.

Does anyone have any idea why this isn’t working?

I do have a 404.php file. I suppose I should have made myself a little bit more clear. I added the elseif (is_404()) because WP wasn’t handling errors on its own, so I thought that would help (which wasn’t quite brilliant, seeing as I used a wp function) That’s why I think wp doesn’t realize the page is 404ing

Thanks for the response! I tried removing the elseif, and still got the “file not found” error. Any more ideas?

I found out that you can make the_excerpt_reloaded allow various html tags, so I just allowed(relatively) all but the img tag. Hope this is of some help to someone.

bump.

This may be of help to you guys.
