 * So I am experiencing an issue where all the files are going to:
 * website.com/files
 * I have changed everything to wp-content/uploads to point the upload path to that
   spot – which is where I want them, how ever,After changing everything across 
   all sites on both options.php and the individual sites settings and options.php
   to that of wp-content/upload I still see files going to sitename.com/files
 * why?

 * Have you tried:
 * – deactivating **all** plugins to see if this resolves the problem. If this works,
   re-activate the plugins one by one until you find the problematic plugin(s).
 * – switching to the Twenty Eleven theme to rule out any theme-specific problems.
 * – [resetting the plugins folder](http://codex.wordpress.org/FAQ_Troubleshooting#How_to_deactivate_all_plugins_when_not_able_to_access_the_administrative_menus.3F)
   by FTP or PhpMyAdmin. Sometimes, an apparently inactive plugin can still cause
   problems.
 * – re-uploading all files & folders – **except** the wp-content folder – from 
   a **fresh** download of WordPress.

 * My first step was to switch all themes back to default, remove all plugin from
   the site its self and try re uploading them one by one. I have JUST JUST reinstalled
   WordPress. Right from the ground up (minus the wp-contents) folder. I read these
   instructions on a blog post before I posted here. I guess I should have stated
   what steps I took >_> LOL.
 * I currently have 4 networked sites, and only one of them works for uploading 
   image. the other three do not.
 * **edit:** now, after that install – none of them work for uploading images….

 * Yes. I have even, as stated, went into each of the sites options, via network/
   sites and then went into there options and changed there upload path from files
   to wp-content/uploads and even done this for the sitename/wp-admin/options.php
 * still 3 of them say sitename/files for the image and one sais sitname/wp-content/
   uploads but the images are broken….when it was working…
 * Note: For one of my sites, images are uplaoding to the specified location of 
   wp-content/uploads how ever they are showing up in the media uploader as broken,
   and trying to navigate in the browser to said image gives me a 404. How ever 
   going through cpanel I see the image at the location….
