htaccess issue? MU->WP3 upgrade, thumbnail paths not working
-
Although this does problem does relate directly to the autoThumb plugin, I believe it’s an .htaccess issue after the upgrade from WPMU to WP3, so any advice would be appreciated:
A friend upgraded their WPMU site to WP3, and after a few hiccups everything seems to be working. There was initially an issue with older images in the gallery/media library not showing up, but after updating the .htaccess file to use the ms-files.php file (rather than the old blogs.php), that seems to have fixed it. This was the line in question:
RewriteRule ^([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)?files/(.+) wp-includes/ms-files.php?file=$2 [L]However now, autoThumb (which uses phpThumb), can’t find any new files we’re uploading after the upgrade. It gives a standard phpThumb error that looks like this:
…but the path and image it’s referring to
- does
exist:
https://howshereallydoesit.com/podcast/files/2010/08/michelewoodward.jpg
Obviously the directory /podcast/ doesn’t really exist, but .htaccess rewrites the access to that path (which I think is actually /blogs/dir/4/), but obviously phpThumb isn’t getting the memo.
So is this something I can deal with in the .htaccess? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
