 * Looks like I either put in too many links or too many lines of code, so my previous
   thread got locked down ASAP. Sorry about that, but I still need help!
 * I have my main site and one add-on site up and running on multisite. Today I 
   had a major issue come up with a third site and the host admin ended up pretty
   much wiping the install directory, so I decided it would be a great time to go
   ahead and migrate this third site into my multisite install.
 * So far, after lots of SQL insanity, I seem to have managed to get the main content
   back up and running. But when I went to put my old original header image back
   up, I just hit a brick wall. Here are what I believe are the relevant image path
   settings as they stand right now:
 * Uploads Use Yearmonth Folders = 0
    Upload Path = wp-content/blogs.dir/3/files
   Upload Url Path = [http://site3/wp-content/blogs.dir/3/files](http://site3/wp-content/blogs.dir/3/files)
   Fileupload Url = [http://site3/wp-content/blogs.dir/3/files](http://site3/wp-content/blogs.dir/3/files)
 * When I attempt to upload a new header image, it is broken. WordPress is trying
   to assign it this URL: [http://site3/files/cropped-Server+Room2.jpg](http://site3/files/cropped-Server+Room2.jpg)
 * htaccess contains the following:
 * [http://pastebin.com/QwzxLh7R](http://pastebin.com/QwzxLh7R)
 * Any ideas?

 * Next time, please just WAIT for someone to clear out the queue, as now you have
   multiple posts 🙂
 * Are you using subdomains or subfolders?
 * The Fileupload Url should be [http://site3/files](http://site3/files) by the 
   way.

 * Yes, sorry about the confusion. Feel free to lock/consolidate threads as necessary…
 * I’m using subfolders.
 * I have ended up changing ten different parameters, including the Fileupload Url,
   in ten different ways. None of the combinations has worked so far.
 * Each time I make a change I test it by attempting to upload a new header image.
   So far the result is that the new image is immediately broken, because it is 
   being uploaded to one location but all references to it are looking for it in
   another location. This is even true for the Media Library. All images, past and
   present, are broken.
 * My Fileupload Url currently matches what you wrote: [http://site3/files](http://site3/files)
