Image path issues (uploaded images)

  • Hey.

    Been wrestling with this all morning, troubleshooting. Basically, I have that moved a site from a local (xampplite) installation to it’s final destination on my hosted web server. Now the move itself went fine, everything is as it should be, apart from image uploading, which is necessary for one of my image slider/galleries.

    First of all, it wouldn’t take uploads at all, but I seem to have fixed that after trying just about everything after the sun. However, there are some issues. When I enable “Organize my uploads into month- and year-based folders” it stops everything working because it seems to want to put it on a folder dated (month-wise) as /07 even thought it should be /08, so something clearly isn’t working there, and it’s not just a visual issue, it does actually refuse to upload to that folder (which already exists). However, if I uncheck this option, then it works. But… it lets me upload the images and they get sent to the wp-content/uploads folder but I couldn’t figure out why they instantly turned into broken links after being uploads, but if I manually went to the image location, they work. However, after checking the image’s URLs, the problem is clear.

    The image that has been uploaded and can be browsed to is (sorry, no specifics, has to be under wraps for now) https://www.mysite.com/test/wp-content/uploads/jumping.png. However, WordPress is embedding the images simply as https://wp-content/uploads/jumping.png, skipping out the actual domain. What can I do about this?

    Bump?

    I’ve only just realised there was a uploader stiky, but I read that and unfortunately it doesn’t cover my particular problem. Any ideas why the images would upload fine, but wordpress only outputs the absolute path and not the full URL on the page?

    Just to clarify my problem, the images upload fine (including generated thumbnails) but in the page itself, I will get a link to “https://wp-content/uploads/jumping.png” rather than the full URL to display the image, so they’re all broken.
