Thanks for the reply, I have worked out that the issue with the images, when the site was cloned the file path for uploads was changed to

/home/silkysmoothbeaut/dev.silkysmoothbeauty.com/fulham/wp-content/uploads/sites/10

When I think it should be

/home/silkysmoothbeaut/dev.silkysmoothbeauty.com/fulham/wp-content/uploads/

I have changed it to the correct file path above and I was able to upload images to the site or do you suggest I remove the file path and leave it blank as you suggest above.

Just to give you an update my hosting company have resolved part of the issue, I’m having an issue uploading images to a newly cloned site, the upload image is just a broken link image

below is the message I received from my hosting company,

“The reason for the 404 is this part of your .htaccess:

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f [OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d
RewriteRule ^ – [L]

This says ‘if the request is for a file or a directory, do not continue (do not rewrite), serve the file as you normally would’. Since the ‘fulham’ directory does exist, the server looks for an index file inside, as it normally would, and if it can’t find one gives a 404.

To make it work, I commented out the directory test.

This probably isn’t a long term solution, as these rewrite rules are recommended by WordPress.

Inside the ‘fulham’ directory is a ‘wp-content’ and inside that are uploads. Do you maybe have some uploader that may be causing this directory to be created (could it be the same thing that’s giving you the image upload problem?). If the recommended rewrite rules are to be used, the question needs answering why the directory exists, as this means the rewrite rules do not work as they’re meant to.”

Thanks,

Apologies, not resolved.

Hey Jose,

Thanks for you message,

I have resolved the problem, it was actually an error in my WordPress settings and now have it sorted.

Thanks,

Allan

Hi Kim,

I’ve actually done that.

I can tell you how to do it, do you have PHP knowledge and know about FTP?

I appreciate that but I am sure other web developers have had to use this method to access a site.

Hi Thanks for the reply, yes I was just about to post that every things seems fine now. I’m not sure how it resolved itself.

Thanks for the advice, I will remove any unnecessary plugins.
