Some Images not Showing Up (9 posts)

    Images show up in admin and they're attached to the correct post, but for some posts, images are not being called correctly, some are.

    Working: http://www.selfpublishingreview.com/blog/2009/11/27/the-american-book-release/

    Not: http://www.selfpublishingreview.com/blog/2009/11/27/why-do-fiction-publishers-get-so-uptight-about-self-publishing/

    (http://www.selfpublishingreview.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/60th_logo_red_sm1-300x300.jpg)

    For some reason, on some posts it lists images in an "uploads" folder, while the correct posts have images in "files" - but I can't figure out how to change it.

    Thanks.

    Note: if I just manually change uploads to files, the image works - but I'd rather not have to do that for hundreds of images.

    Did you import the blog posts from a WP install?

    I imported from one WPMU to another. Apparently, images have the same problem on the original site.

    The reason I asked is that the upload folder is part of the standard WP setup:

    http://codex.wordpress.org/Settings_Miscellaneous_SubPanel

    So where the posts on the original site imported from WP?

    First I imported from WP 2.6 to the beta MU site, then to the main site today, so its origin is wporg.

    OK - so that's why the URLs are wrong.

    You might be able to get away with changing /wp-content/upload to /files/ by doing a global search and replace on your data and then copying the contents of the upload folder on the old site into /wp-content/blogs.dir/1 (or whatever the blog ID is)

    OR simply copy the /uploads folder into the wp-content directory on your WPMU install and leave those posts alone. Of course if you've imported more than one blog from WP then this second method wont work

    Before doing this, can I just do a replace of 2008 and 2009 from uploads to files? Don't want to lose everything (especially avatars).

    Thanks for the help.

    ...Nevermind - saw your edit. Moving to wpcontent worked, thanks!
