Yes, the folder is in the root under images and WordPress is under clickandbuilds/wordpress/mycmsback2/ – so basically on the same server.
Yes, when I want to do an absolute link to them e.g. https://www.capnfishy.co.uk/images/CP/CP18Oct14_7672.jpg then it’s showing the page cannot be found.
The server is the same and it’s going to be the same, what I want is his old links to images on forums etc. to be showing up again e.g. https://www.flyfishing.co.uk/photo-gallery/307184-leaping-salmon-photo-shoot-years-attempts-part-1-a.html like in this post.
Sorry for being really bad in clarifying hope this time is more clear,
Thanks a lot for your reply,
Dave
