Upgraded to 3.0 all Images gone from front page

Thanks Ipstenu.

The problem is with the word/directory “files”

No other re-writes. Still doesn’t work – even after disabling all plugins.

I did start a thread with the topic – but only to have it hi-jacked by someone with a blank-screen problem. That was the only person who would bite!

Does this happen with ANY folder named files?

Make a new folder: /wp-content/files/ and see if you can get there. Or even just /files/.

If THAT’S the issue, I wonder if it’s mod_security being a pill…

Yeah –

It’s just as you suspected – see here:

https://hanover4square.org/wp-content/files/4sqlogo.jpg

and

https://hanover4square.org/files/4sqlogo.jpg

Both return the 404 page.

Okay. You can change your file location.

Go to Super Admin -> Sites and click on ‘edit’ for your sites.

You’ll want to chang Fileupload Url and Upload Url Path

The problem is that you want to change this too:

# uploaded files
RewriteRule ^([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)?files/(.+) wp-includes/ms-files.php?file=$2 [L]

And I think either we’re at the point where it’s an .htaccess conflict OR a mod_security issue.

What do your error logs say?

Nothing in the error logs –

I changed the word “files” to “uploads” and now everything is accessible. I also changed the Fileupload Url and Upload Url Path as well as the the .htaccess – all instances of “files” to “uploads”.

This seems to make the files accessible.

Considering the rewrite rules use the word “files” then yes, having them in a physical folder called files was probably the issue.

Thanks Everybody!

My whole front page disappeared! This morning, when we typed in our domain name, it suddenly started pulling up a thank-you page that I created after updating WordPress yesterday. I haven’t been able to get the home page to show up at all today.

Then, when I completely deleted the thank-you page, it started pulling up a blog post from May, 2008 (!?!?)

Is it possible to revert BACK to the older version of WordPress?? This site gets tons of traffic — and I can’t afford for my client to be inaccessible to his buyers.

Any advice?
Cynthia

Andrea – so wouldn’t changing all of the words “files” to “uploads” like I did give me the same issue?

@butterflyhearder can you start a new topic, since your problem is different?

oops… sorry… it seemed related. ??

What incredible butthead made the change in 3.0 to automatically re-write “WordPress” to “WordPress”?

To have it make this change automatically without consideration for the implications is absurd. Its selfish and shortsighted to say the least. It means that I will probably never upgrade WordPress again until absolutely forced to. I cannot afford to spend three hours on something as foolish as this.

Why would this not be in a FAQ or a Readme? Are WordPress developers professional programmers or hacks?

For everyone else who spent hours and hours finding this out, and want to fix your site after upgrading to 3.0, just download the plugin called “Remove WordPress to WordPress filter” and you’ll be back to normal.

Seems media uploader uploads files correctly to any folder you want, but there is something wrong with some php files . Maybe functions.php ? I don’t know why, when you are in subfolder blog admin panel in media tab , all thumbs are broken and the url file looks like https://www.domain.com/mainblog/blogno2/files/image.jpg and should looks like https://www.domain.com/mainblog/wp-content/uploads or eventually https://www.domain.com/mainblog/wp-content/blogs.dir/%BLOG_ID%/files/ or https://www.domain.com/mainblog/wp-content/blogs.dir//$blog_id/files

I know everywhere write I should install WP MU in root directory. But what if it isn’t possible and I just have to install WP MU in subdirectory? Which files should be edited and corrected?

Maybe in wp-config.php should I paste something like this?
define( ‘UPLOADBLOGSDIR’, $blog_id.’/files/’ );
