Probelm with images in wp multisite

Sorry I don’t know if I am doing something wrong but how do you change the URL of the image manually? What I did was open the post, view as html and change the url, save, but it doesn’t work. Indeed when I go to media the picture still has the wrong URL. If this is the right procedure, how can I change the url of the images in feature slides?

Really thank you for al of your help!

I think I found something that can be the problem: I have a customize wp-content folder called wp-contenuti and during my cnfiguration there was the waring:
Create a blogs.dir directory at /home/imparoin/public_html/wp-contenuti/blogs.dir. This directory is used to store uploaded media for your additional sites and must be writeable by the web server. Warning: Networks may not be fully compatible with custom wp-content directories.

Do you think this can be the reason of all my probelm?

Well. That’s one problem, to be sure.

Then your images would be https://www.imparoinglese.com/wp-contenuti/blogs.dir/2/files/et_temp/londra-53998_74x74.jpg

Except they are not.

Where ARE your images?

Basically ages ago i create a customize wp-content folder, called wp-contenuti, so my images are in there. Checking my wp-conf i have this

define('WP_CONTENT_DIR', '/home/imparoin/public_html/wp-contenuti');
define('WP_CONTENT_URL', 'https://www.imparoinglese.com/wp-contenuti');

I am trying to seach on line a solution but can not find any help. Do you think it’s possible to pass all the images on wp-content so I might be able to sort out the problem with wpmu?

Thank you!:))

That’s only for your main site.

Subsites are in https://www.imparoinglese.com/wp-contenuti/blogs.dir/NUMBER/files/

So yes.

1) Create the blogs.dir – You were prompted to do this when you activated a network, by the way.

2) Since you don’t have this, we need to find out where this image really lives: wp-content/blogs.dir/2/files/et_temp/londra-53998_74x74.jpg

See, I don’t know. It SHOULD be in wp-content (or wp-contenuti) but it’s clearly not. So where did you put those images?

Hi,
I delate the multiste network. I am back to one site. I analyze it I this is waht I have:

On setting->media says that uploadin flies are stored in wp-content/uploads
But on my cpanel, inside wp-content I have the following folders:flagallery,languages, theme, upgrade.
Inside wp-contenuti I have: gallery,languages, plugin, theme, upgrade, uploads (where there are the images).

If i try to move the folder uploads back to wp-content, the images on my website don’t show.
Now, what I think is: if I can find the way to move back the upload path to wp-content, I will not have problem with images if I want to reinstall the multiste network, am I worng?
I hope you have a webiste where I can do some donation for your help!
I think I am going crazy with wp!
Thank you

That shouldn’t have happened. Changing the folder as you did in wp-config.php is supposed to move it all.

I would… Hmm.

Okay.

1) Install a new, single, instance in a subfolder – domain.com/wptemp/

2) Export from your main site and import into the new instance.

3) Get everything looking right. Theme settings, etc. Don’t move wp-content or anything, just leave it alone. No one will see that anyway if you do this right.

4) Remove the original site, and move the /wptemp/ in it’s place (i.e. back into the root of your /home/imparoin/public_html/ location).

5) Make sure everything works, the URLs are okay, etc.

6) Now activate Multisite.

(BTW, I wrote an ebook about Multisite that may help you out – https://halfelf.org/ebooks/wordpress-multisite-101/ – Disclosure: It’s pay what you want, so feel free to download for free and see if it’s useful ?? )

Hi,
I will defenetely reedd your ebook. So I just want to repeat to see if I understand exactely before I make a disater:
I create the subfloder wptemp under home/imparoin and I export everything in the new folder, right?
First thing I will do tomorrow morning:)

Thank you so much for your help!

Yes ?? Make the subfolder under home/imparoin.

Hi,

I am a little stuck:( I create the new folder wptemp, but when you said to export evrything from my webiste, do you mean eveything is under public_html?

Thank you!!!!!

No, I mean use the built in export tool: https://codex.www.ads-software.com/Tools_Export_Screen

I use the export tool and download the file to my computer, it’s a xml file and now I upload this file to wptemp. But it’s just one file. Is this ok?
Thank you

Also when you said to remove the original site, what did you mean exactely? Sorry, all of this is very new to me:(

Original site: https://www.imparoinglese.com/

Temporary site: https://www.imparoinglese.com/wptemp/

Please read https://codex.www.ads-software.com/Tools_Export_Screen

It actually tells you that it exports ONE file. Then it says to use the import tool: https://codex.www.ads-software.com/Tools_Import_Screen

Just take a deep breath and read fully before going on to the next step ?? You can do this.

Sorry but I am really lost, I might be your nightmare:)
I thought I have to upload the file xml exported through cpanel and put it on wptemp.

But what I have to do is importing that file through Tools Import, so through a plugin?

I am a little confused…

Thank you
