    Help!

    On my site, community.techearup.com/magazine/ (in a multisite environment), I am not seeing the media files (pictures) stored in wp-content/blog.dir. The files are there when I click on “Edit” in the Media folder (I see them and can edit them); but they do not save, no thumbnails and don’t show up on the site. When I go into cPanel, I can see the files are there.

    This occurred tonight after activating BulletProof Security plugin.

    Any ideas? I’m assuming there’s a reference somewhere that. Either than or the plugin is setting on it somehow.

    Problem solved. Something happened in WordPress and .htaccess. Just changing .htaccess did not solve. I had to uninstall and then reinstall WordPress first.

    I was able to recreate the initial problem:
    1. After turning BulletProof Security, I had updated the Mod_Rewrite Rules, which then wrote to .htaccess and interfered with BPS. Once I did this, the media files in the subdomains (multisite) no longer linked, they were still there, but did not display.
    2. I read that reinstalling WP would solve it. Wrong. Made it worse, as now I had to reinstall everything.

    Word of warning: If you need to rewrite Mod_Rewrite Rules in WP Super Cache and you’re using BPS, restore your original .htaccess file first and then proceed.
