WordPress MU

I'm trying to get a theme, Zinmag Remedy, working on one of my blogs in a WP MU installation and it needs me to change the "Organize my uploads into month- and year-based folders" option to be unchecked. The only way I've been able to access any miscellaneous settings page is by typing it directly into the address bar, but then no options are shown.

If this isn't something that can be fixed, is there a way for me to go in and change this setting other than the settings page or some other workaround? Thanks for any help.

I would be inclined to rip that part out of the theme instead. I can;t think of any reason why a theme would need you to do that? For image thumbnails maybe, but there's other ways.

The old comic press theme I believe wanted things like that because it wanted one and only one directory to pull images out of. I'm wondering if it;s something like that. Latest pictures widget or feed maybe?

The theme relates an image to posts that are displayed in sections on the main page as a panel and for excerpts. It looks for the images in wp-content/uploads to do this... I'm not sure what to do exactly to get this to work.

Rip out what the theme has for it and use Justin Tadlock's "get the image" plugin to pull the post thumbnails.

It works different in MU. Much easier to change the theme than try and change the entire image upload procedure.

Yup, sounds like the old comic press theme to me and how it did things. I *believe* they changed it with a extra post meta field (a post's custom field maybe) where the author selected the url of the image that they wanted to use instead of having the theme do it for them but I never tried anything like that.

Thanks for the help so far. I tried to do something with tdjcbe's suggestion and changed where the theme gets the image from the Custom Field to have the entire URL put in the Value. My only problem now is that by the time the code gets to the front page to display the image, it changes the URL to be all lowercase, which breaks the image. Any way I can work on that? Thanks again.
