Image paths broken after upgrade to Wordpress MU 3.0 (7 posts)

    Friends,

    I had first installed Wordpress MU 2.9.2 and created a few blogs under http://articles.architectjaved.com/

    Recently, I got a message that an update to Wordpress MU 3.0 was available, so I did the automatic update. After this, my images don't show up. Their paths are broken.

    For example, http://articles.architectjaved.com/earthquake_resistant_structures/files/2010/06/stiffness.jpg

    Such a directory does not exist in wordpress installation but it worked fine in Wordpress 2.9.2

    Is there an easy way to downgrade to 2.9.2 or maybe solve this problem.

    Please help...

    Friends...

    Problem has been solved. I was looking up info on this topic, and I found http://trac.mu.wordpress.org/ticket/1077

    Exactly same problem. I looked into my installation directory, and \wp-content\blogs.php was missing. I remember getting an error after upgrading to MU 3.0 specifically asking me to delete blogs.php, which I did.

    Anyways, downloaded the stable Wordpress 2.9.2 and reupped the missing file. Everything works now...

    Thank you Community... :)

    The same message that led me to deleting blogs.php had come back to haunt my Dashboard...

    The wp-content/blogs.php file is deprecated. Please remove it and update your server rewrite rules to use wp-includes/ms-files.php instead.

    What does it mean?

    OK, updated the .htaccess file. Removed reference to wp-content/blogs.php and replaced it by wp-includes/ms-files.php

    Then deleted blogs.php

    The blog is fine now...

    I change my .htaccess to read wp-includes/ms-files.php and all the links to my images are still broken :(

    this thread was quite helpful. Thank you.

    @beanfair - did you keep the bit of code that was after blogs.php
    wp-content/blogs.php?file=$2 [L]

    I am not sure if that would be the same code for your blog but I strictly replaced
    wp-content/blogs.php with wp-includes/ms-files.php
    and it worked great. Hope that helps.
