Thanks, Steve. You provided the link I was searching for without success.

Great! But I don’t see your comment there. If I were you, I’d check back to make sure it is published. I don’t know whether or not they moderate comments.

Okay, thanks for the reply. So you figure there is not vulnerability and it is safe to use.

Thanks again.

It works like magic if you want to duplicate to a subsite. Still have to experiment with duplication to another domain.

I just tried to contact JConti. Will see what happens.

I’m *really* sorry to see this plugin abandoned!

This plugin looks like it might include protection from registration spam. Haven’t tried it yet, but it is highly rated:

Okay, I just looked at my current .htaccess file, and it’s pretty bare-bones with no state secrets, so here it is:

One more thing:

I did a “Preview” of the Twenty-fifteen theme. The front page of SabbathIssues showed up blank, so I chose to edit the header image by uploading an image. It promptly showed up in the Media library as a placeholder icon. However, I could see it when I chose to “Edit” the image. It was uploaded to this place:
https://ssnet.org/sabbathissues/sabbath-issues980x148/

So it seems that the blog uploads to one location but reads from another in all instances except “edit image.”

Again, my current upload paths are set like this:
Upload Path: https://ssnet.org/wp-content/blogs.dir/12/files/

Upload Url Path: https://sabbathissues.org/files/

Hi again, Bret, I’ve had to be out today, so didn’t have time to respond. If you’ll stick with me on this, I’ll really appreciate it.

The only plugins currently active on the site are “Network Active” and work perfectly on the main site. I deactivated some that are not absolutely necessary, but that didn’t seem to make a difference.

I did a “Preview” of the Twenty-fifteen theme, and it gives me a blank front page and no graphics.

My current upload paths are set like this:
Upload Path: https://ssnet.org/wp-content/blogs.dir/12/files/

Upload Url Path: https://sabbathissues.org/files/

These might have been reversed initially, but I don’t remember.

The banner shows up as being at
https://sabbathissues.org/wp-content/sabbathissues/files//2013/08/Sabbath-Issues-Banner2-980.jpg

So what’s with the extra “/” after “files”??

Okay, I gotta confess that some time back I created this directory:
https://ssnet.org/public_html/wp-content/sabbathissues/files/ and the banner file is in the place specified, but I wonder about that extra “/”

I think I may have had the upload path specified differently at the time.

The thing is that the media files are all at that sabbathissues/files locationn as well as at https://ssnet.org/wp-content/blogs.dir/12/files/

Why does the blog not recognize one directory or the other?

It recognized the relevant database, because the *posts* and *comments* show up.

Please just tell me one thing to try at a time. Thanks.

If dekooker starts his own thread, I want to know what it is, because his solution may be the same as mine.

@jkhongusc, is it safe to post the .htaccess file in public, or is there somewhere I can send it where you can see it?

Why do you say that https://bewellandprosper.net/files/2015/08/peach-headerJPG.jpg works, when the image doesn’t show up – at least not for me?

This one works for me:
https://ssnet.org/public_html/wp-content/blogs.dir/14/files/2015/08/peach-headerJPG.jpg

The only plugins I am using on the site are network active and are working perfectly on the main site, https://ssnet.org/

I just deactivated several that are not absolutely necessary, but I hesitate to “break” a very busy main site.

I’ll be happy to send you the .htaccess file of the main site if I can be sure it’s safe. (This board is so public!)

Okay, will switch themes on the subsites.

Not sure how many network plugins I want to deactivate. The main site is very busy, with often over 4,000 users on site at any one second. It is working perfectly.

The only problem is with subthemes and their connection to the Uploads directory.

Okay, I see that in https://halfelf.org/2012/dumping-ms-files/ you do have instructions that should/might work for me.

I just can’t figure out why my sites got detached from the uploads directories.

The POSTS still appear correctly, so it appears they are still connected correctly to the database.

I’m a little nervous about editing the database itself when it seems to be working right now.

ONLY the connection to the “uploads” directory seems to be broken.

Ideas?

Whew! Thanks for the reply, Bet! I was about to despair because no one was paying attention to my cry for help.

No the SabbathIssues site is not fixed. No graphics, except for that *one* header banner. That banner is found here:
https://sabbathissues.org/wp-content/sabbathissues/files//2013/08/Sabbath-Issues-Banner2-980.jpg
I checked, and the file is physically found at
https://ssnet.org/wp-content/sabbathissues/files/2013/08/Sabbath-Issues-Banner2-980.jpg
It is not found at https://ssnet.org/wp-content/blogs.dir/12/files/2013/08/Sabbath-Issues-Banner2-980.jpg”

So the blog is using https://ssnet.org/wp-content/sabbathissues/files/2013/08/Sabbath-Issues-Banner2-980.jpg but not showing the images in the directory. Trouble is that that is the *only* image it uses from the directory. (I put all the other images in the https://ssnet.org/wp-content/sabbathissues/files/ directory as well as in the https://ssnet.org/wp-content/blogs.dir/12/files/ directory.

Now I’m wondering if that provides a clue regarding how to fi the site. I did try to have it read from my directory:
https://ssnet.org/wp-content/sabbathissues/files, but it didn’t help any.
*Nothing* shows up in the Media Library, except place holders. when I searth for the banner file, there’s a place holder, but when I try to edit the file, the correct file shows up, but no edits are saved, as far as I can tell.

I describe the full problem more at https://bewellandprosper.net/, since it has exactly the same issues. (It’s the first post on the page. https://bewellandprosper.net/testing-wordpress-4-5/)

I’m puzzled by that double forward slash in the URL that shows up in the code. Do you understand it?

If you could help me resolve the issue of the graphics and theme disconnect, I’d be ever so grateful.

Another symptom:
On the Dashboard of the subsites, I can access the Weaver II Pro Theme menu, and all the settings are correct. However, the site does not match the settings, and any changes I attempt to make in the theme do not show up on the site.

Perhaps I should make this a new entry since I have narrowed down the problem a bit further:

The Media Library shows up without images, except for icon placeholders with the correct image name.

When I try to EDIT the image, it shows up correctly. I tried editing and saving, to see if that would make the image show up, but it doesn’t help at all.

So it’s clear that the images are there and connected in some way, but there’s a disconnect that prevents images from showing up on the site.

The active theme on bewellandprosper.net is Weaver-SSNET, which is a customized version of Weaver II Pro.
