Title: Mass code update, necessary? Last modified: August 18, 2016 --- # Mass code update, necessary? * [Harvey](https://wordpress.org/support/users/harvey/) * (@harvey) * [19 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/mass-code-update-necessary/) * Hello everyone, * If my images are currently referenced as such… * `

` * And I move my entire WordPress installation into a subdirectory of where it is now… Will the images on my site break? * I believe that since I have started referencing them with the directory level../… That it’s what is called “absolute” referencing and things won’t break even if I move the WP installation. * Want to verify though! * Thanks for any help.

And info. I’ll plan to do this sometime this week!
