4.5 seems to have broken sub-sites

inge12 –
This link works – https://bewellandprosper.net/files/2015/08/peach-headerJPG.jpg

The problem is that the image is corrupted. To me that implies a plugin is interferring with it. My guess is that one of your plugins is not compatible with WP 4.5.x

If dekooker starts his own thread, I want to know what it is, because his solution may be the same as mine.

@jkhongusc, is it safe to post the .htaccess file in public, or is there somewhere I can send it where you can see it?

Why do you say that https://bewellandprosper.net/files/2015/08/peach-headerJPG.jpg works, when the image doesn’t show up – at least not for me?

This one works for me:
https://ssnet.org/public_html/wp-content/blogs.dir/14/files/2015/08/peach-headerJPG.jpg

The only plugins I am using on the site are network active and are working perfectly on the main site, https://ssnet.org/

I just deactivated several that are not absolutely necessary, but I hesitate to “break” a very busy main site.

I’ll be happy to send you the .htaccess file of the main site if I can be sure it’s safe. (This board is so public!)

Okay, I just looked at my current .htaccess file, and it’s pretty bare-bones with no state secrets, so here it is:

RedirectMatch 301 ^/blog/([0-9]{4})/([0-9]{2})/(.*)$ https://ssnet.org/blog/$3
RedirectMatch 301 ^/([0-9]{4})/([0-9]{2})/(.*)$ https://sabbathissues.org/$3
