Hi -
I upgraded to 1.3.3 not too long ago and clicked "Upgrade" in the admin backend. After that, users noticed their images were no longer visible. Now when they upload new images, they go to /wp-content/uploads/image. Everyone's in the same folder!
I've read every topic that seems related to this issue, but I'm not finding any solutions.
Here's an example blog entry that exhibits the problem.

Her images were all just fine before I clicked "Upgrade." :(
Does anyone have any ideas about how I can fix this?
Thanks,
Beth
The files are directed through your .htaccess so I would check to make sure everything is still in there to direct the blogs. As well, check out a couple blogs to make sure it is still showing the correct path when you edit the blog in the Site Admin.

Does anyone have a properly 1.3.3 working .htaccess I can compare to?
I noticed newly created blogs have a different path than older blogs. The new blogs upload to the /wp-content/uploads folder, where everyone can see all of the files.
Thanks!
I hit this problem too, and can't remember exactly how I got past it. I'm sure it was .htaccess. This is a working .htaccess from a V1.3.3 subdirectory installation. (Blog names are like http://edubuzz.org/blogs/myblogname.)
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /blogs/
# Rewrite http://www.domain.com to domain.com
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.(.*)
RewriteRule ^(.*) http://%1/$1 [R,L]
#uploaded files
RewriteRule ^(.*/)?files/$ index.php [L]
RewriteRule ^(.*/)?files/(.*) wp-content/blogs.php?file=$2 [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f [OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d
RewriteRule . - [L]
RewriteRule ^([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)?(wp-.*) $2 [L]
RewriteRule ^([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)?(.*\.php)$ $2 [L]
RewriteRule . index.php [L]
Thanks. I've copied the default .htaccess back in and have tried this one too, but it's still not working. Do you remember if you had to go as far as completely reinstalling everything to get yours working again?
No, I only backed out twice, once for strange symbols and again after losing categories"...
Well, I have the images working again. I noticed that new blogs were being created with their files directories chmod 777, so I made the rest of them 777, made sure their upload directories were /wp-content/blogs.dir/files instead of /wp-content/uploads and then everything was ok. I also had replaced the .htaccess file, wp-config.php and everything in /wp-admin and /wp-includes, so I'm not sure what caused the image displays to work again. I hate when that happens!
Thanks everyone for the help. Now to figure out why feeds aren't working. :)
