WordPress MU

I was using Arthemia premium on wordpress 2.71 for the site http://pathghana.com. I recently upgraded to wordpress MU.
After doing that the timtumb images are not showing.
There was a post regarding that http://mu.wordpress.org/forums/topic/10259?replies=16 but I can't seem to figure out which scripts to edit before the timtumb images will show. Which scripts i'm i supposed to change?
Again the timtumb images work fine when i installed wordpress 2.71 on this subdomain http://test.pathghana.com/

You need a different thumbnail plugin. Try justin tadlock's "get the image".

There's alreayd a dozen threads about the same thing.

I'm currently using Arthemia Premium with TimThumb on my website MMAFrenzy.com. It required some hacking, but the issue is simply that although the browser recognizes when you go to domain.com/files/2009/05/image.name that is not the actual location of the image. The actual location is domain.com/wp-content/blogs.dir/1/files/2009/05/image.name where /1/ is the blog id.

There's two options to fix, both of which are completed with a search and replace on all the theme files. Find one of the TimThumb sections and hardcode in the WPMU portion above including the blog id. What I did was just removed a portion of the code so I have to enter the full image URL in a custom field.

Personally, I haven't found Arthemia to be very well coded and their support has been lackluster which is why I'm changing themes in the next week but I hope that helps.

@andrea_r - Thanks for the plugin recommendation. I may try that instead of TimThumb if it's able to use the masked image URL generated by WPMU rather than the actual URL plus it can fetch images for posts without custom fields.

@gogoplata and andrea- Thanks a lot for responding to my problem.
I've finally been able to get the timthumb images working by changing the Image Value for a particular post based on what gogoplata said.
I didn't hardcode any of the files. All i had to do was change the image value from http://pathghana.com/files/2009/05/name.jpg to http://pathghana.com/wp-content/blogs.dir/1/files/2009/05/name.jpg.
Thanks

Ok, os I have a similar issue, but I cannot figure this thing out. the site I am working on is http://www.cruitertalk.com and it uses the Falkner theme with Timthumb. Previously this worked with mimbo, but after switching not any more.

At this point, I am open to any suggetions. I am not a super coder, so any dumbed down suggestions would be great. I am open to consulting as well.

If you are viewing it in ie7 - you'll see broken pics in the featured and single post section. In FireFox you will see test where the pic should actually be.

Like I said above, don't use timthumb. Use the other plugin instead.

@ryanleary, check your root domain and find where the images are uploaded.
at the posting dashboard, under CUSTOM FIELD,write the NAME your theme designer defined and under VALUE, state the full url of the image. In my case i got something like this as the VALUE http://pathghana.com/wp-content/blogs.dir/1/files/2009/04/larabanga8.jpg and Image was the NAME.
Also try to change the image url of the file you upload. By default Wordpress MU will show the image url as http://pathghana.com/files/2009/04/larabanga8.jpg
you should change it and have something like this http://pathghana.com/wp-content/blogs.dir/1/files/2009/04/larabanga8.jpg. that means the html code for the image you upload will look like this

<img class="alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-185" src="http://pathghana.com/wp-content/blogs.dir/1/files/2009/04/larabanga8-150x150.jpg" alt="larabanga8" width="150" height="150" />

Try this out and see what happens. goodluck
