The master domain is devsite103.com
The “example” domain is not mine – I used it from another user who was getting help from you.
The “no load” one is mine.
To my knowledge, I am not using hotlink protection. Sorry, I thought I had answered those previous questions.
I’m not using a domain mapping plugin. I just added tbfaa under sites in super admin as a sub-domain under devsite103.com.

I tried your suggested htaccess and made a tiny bit of progress. Images load for devsite103.com but do not load for tbfaa.devsite103.com. HOWEVER, now when use the “Add an Image” facility in the editor the image area shows up with an “edit image” button. When I select edit image, I see the image – but it still doesn’t show up on the page.

I tried the above .htaccess and my site still has the same problems – no images.

Yes, both on the same server and network. I don’t know what a “hotline protection setup” is, but I don’t think I have one.

Ok. I’ve turned deactivated them all. No change. Tried adding a photo and while the space is there, the photo isn’t.

Yes, it’s there. Thanks

I would be happy to give you access as admin if it would help you to find the problem. Email me [email protected].

Just sub-domains for now. I’m planning on changing to domain redirects after the site is complete and functional. Thank you so much for helping.

Thank you for the rapid response. Still no success.

Thank you for responding. I know nothing about this stuff, and you were working “blind”. I tried and failed. Below are the before and after htaccess files. Can you take a look and tell me what I’m doing wrong please?

I’m having a similar problem and could really use some help to figure it out.

I’ve tried the “3 step” method above and my results are:

EXAMPLE – https://cooking.thefrazzledmama.com/wp-content/blogs.dir/11/files/2010/08/ezmuffins11.jpg
LOADS FINE – https://tbfaa.devsite103.com/wp-content/blogs.dir/2/files/2010/06/meeting.jpg

EXAMPLE – https://cooking.thefrazzledmama.com/files/2010/08/ezmuffins11.jpg
NO LOAD – https://tbfaa.devsite103.com/files/2010/06/meeting.jpg

I’ve tried both the existing .htaccess file (below) and the .htaccess file you provided without successful loading of images.

This is how it appears on the page when I switch to the HTML view – <img class=”alignleft size-full wp-image-917″ title=”meeting” src=”https://tbfaa.devsite103.com/files/2010/06/meeting2.jpg&#8221; alt=”” width=”94″ height=”63″ /> However if I try to access the image in my browser I get a Page Not Found message.

I’ve checked and my browser WILL load https://tbfaa.devsite103.com/wp-content/blogs.dir/2/files/2010/06/meeting.jpg

https://tbfaa.devsite103.com/files/2010/06/meeting2.jpg”><img class=”alignleft size-full wp-image-917″ title=”meeting” src=”https://tbfaa.devsite103.com/files/2010/06/meeting2.jpg&#8221; alt=”” width=”94″ height=”63″ />

Any ideas or suggestions? This stuff is way over my head so any help will be greatly appreciated.

I’m having the same issue. I’ve read as many posts as I can find and nothing solves the problem – that I can see. I’m a newbie and not a programmer. Does anyone know of step-by-step instructions for this plugin? Is a sidebar required (my site is 1-column)? Should I be seeing the wp-login.php file in the list of files I can edit at the dashboard?

thanks for any help at all.
