well, it seems as if the database changed anyway – probably when I attempted before the correct the folder name. So I will not be using the filter/plug in – I’m logged in to the new folder name and seeing the images.

thanks for everyone’s help.

Ken the theme I use has nothing to do with commerce. My website is commerce based.

this is funny – I can’t log in now to run the plugin – Ken did you have any problem with that?

mrmist – can you repost the link?

Ken the redirect won’t work unless you change the data in the database from the old name to the new.

I put the .htaccess file back to the way it was and put the folder name back to the way it was and I’m still looking at the database. I’m going to look at the filter again and see if it’s worth doing anything with before I change the data in the database.

Went to my host and there are several things you need to do to the mysql database if that’s what you are using for WordPress.

Some of the tables have to be changed to reflect the new folder name vs the old.

Ken, I tried just changing the name of the folder and it does not work. Oh, it may be able to see the images now – but in order to use a link to the blog – it gives a 404 – page cannot be found. Have you tried using a url to get to a page?

Ken, if you have other people linking to your blog or your blog is found in the search engines – you will need a redirect statement in the .htaccess file in the root of your site.
than you can change links at other sites where you are registered as you can. Hope that makes sense.

After much more thought – I’ve realized that there are a lot of social networks that I am signed up with – who all have a link to my blog. Which means I need to touch every place I’m signed up – to correct the spelling of the link! And of course, I’m not alone in this!

Yes, I’ve seen that discussion before – I don’t want WordPress changing the names of my files, images, etc. If it were just a simple solution of changing the main folder name – it would be easy – but I don’t think that’s the case. I think no matter what I do, there are going to be some underlying issues that will pop up.

not the change of case in WordPress.= note the change of case in WordPress.

Kentucky – the problem is that the upgrade has changed the location of the images from WordPress/wp-content/uploads to WordPress/wp-content/uploads – not the change of case in WordPress.

I guess this only affects those who named their blog folder WordPress – so many others probably just had a folder called Blog, or some such thing.

I read that you need to change the site settings from WordPress to WordPress before you change the name of the folder. I’m not sure where that has to be done, and I’ve asked my host. If you have any info – let me know.

Of course changing the name of the folder requires a change to the main site .htaccess file to redirect.

I know you probably have no idea why WordPress is now WordPress – but didn’t something think this was going to cause a problem with many bloggers.

And after looking at the info of the filter – I don’t want the filter changing information in my posts that has nothing to do with the location of images – I have many people linking to various posts and my using the filter, will make their links broken.

I’m not a savy tech – as you can probably tell – but if this case change was universal – why are there not many more people complaining about the loss of their images? Or are we just seeing the tip of the iceberg right now?

It was recommended that I try a different theme to see if the one I was using was having a problem with the new version. I tried several themes and didn’t see any difference, the images are still missing.

Update –

I have my media upload set to wp-content/uploads, adding year and month
In the visual screen I can see the image.
I can see the image with ftp.

For example – the image is https://www.sandists.com/WordPress/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/il_430xN.1518709641.jpg

If I try to look at it in the browser address, I get page cannot be found.

The properties of all of the folders is 755.

So the question is – why can’t the browser see the file?

I have a single site and my images are not showing up either.
