Define the same upload folder for all multisite blogs

you *can* define the uploads folder in wp-config.

Given that you can host multisite files off-server in places liek Amazon S3, it’s not that it can’t be done, it’s that nobody whpo has done it has written up the step by step yet.

Yeah, but if you change it, the images from Site1 don’t show up in the media manager for Site2, do they?

Hadn’t gone all the way thru it yet.

So what your saying is, I should use multisite, a domain manager plugin which would give me the ability to use both the .com and .co.uk in “one install” thereby allowing both sites to share the same media files (embedded in one database)?

I can work with that… I am using 3.04 multisite on one installation, the .com however, both sites are using wp-super-cache… will there be any adverse effect? I set them up separately due to the use of super-cache along with, they have different domain extensions…

Any advise would be greatly appreciated…

To the best of my knowledge, there is no plugin that can allow multiple WordPress sites, be they separate or MultiSite, use one media upload folder AND have the images show in the media manager.

Given how media is listed in the database (I.e. As posts), I can’t see this being an easy fix.

You can host the files anywhere, its the database tables that’ll kill ya.

im having the same problem.

i use the same theme for different blogs. and with the plugin ‘WordPress MU Sitewide Tags Pages’, entries of different blogs are shown on one main blog. however images cant be shown.

no solution?

lameian – NOT the same problem ?? Also I think the trunk version of the plugin can pull in the featured image.

lpstenu,

it cant pull the feature image….
main site: https://blog.do-did-done.com/
sub site: https://blog.do-did-done.com/lameian

do i have to define the upload path or what?

thanks

lameian – Please make a NEW post for this, as it’s not the same problem.
