Title: Multisite Image path problem Last modified: August 20, 2016 --- # Multisite Image path problem * [marcobjensen](https://wordpress.org/support/users/marcobjensen/) * (@marcobjensen) * [13 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/multisite-image-path-problem/) * Hi * After updating to wordpress 3.5 all images on the multisites are broken. All images on the main site are working fine. * The error occurs when for example this image is requested: **[http://www.aadum.com/aadum-iogu/files/2011/01/overnatningsstaevne-1-150×150.jpg](http://www.aadum.com/aadum-iogu/files/2011/01/overnatningsstaevne-1-150×150.jpg) I’ve checked the htaccess action, and it leads to this source: [http://www.aadum.com/wp-includes/ms-files.php?file=2011/01/overnatningsstaevne-1-150×150.jpg](http://www.aadum.com/wp-includes/ms-files.php?file=2011/01/overnatningsstaevne-1-150×150.jpg) * But the image is located at this path on the server: **[http://www.aadum.com/wp-content/blogs.dir/2/files/2011/01/overnatningsstaevne-1-150×150.jpg](http://www.aadum.com/wp-content/blogs.dir/2/files/2011/01/overnatningsstaevne-1-150×150.jpg)** * My htacess file looks like this: * ``` # BEGIN WordPress RewriteEngine On RewriteBase / RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L] # uploaded files RewriteRule ^([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)?files/(.+) wp-includes/ms-files.php?file=$2 [L] # add a trailing slash to /wp-admin RewriteRule ^([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)?wp-admin$ $1wp-admin/ [R=301,L] RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f [OR] RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d RewriteRule ^ - [L] RewriteRule ^[_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/(wp-(content|admin|includes).*) $1 [L] RewriteRule ^[_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/(.*\.php)$ $1 [L] RewriteRule . index.php [L] # END WordPress ``` * I have read and tried so many other threads without luck. Im really hoping someone is able to help me out! * /Marco Viewing 11 replies - 1 through 11 (of 11 total) * Moderator [Ipstenu (Mika Epstein)](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ipstenu/) * (@ipstenu) * 🏳️‍🌈 Advisor and Activist * [13 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/multisite-image-path-problem/#post-3623504) * What version of WP did you upgrade FROM? * What you’re seeing (in so far as URLs go) is not only correct, but it’s what you always saw.

I dont have access to the httpd.conf (shared host). * What should the value be? All or Options All? * Moderator [Ipstenu (Mika Epstein)](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ipstenu/) * (@ipstenu) * 🏳️‍🌈 Advisor and Activist * [13 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/multisite-image-path-problem/#post-3623651) * Options All is probably better for most hosts. * Thread Starter [marcobjensen](https://wordpress.org/support/users/marcobjensen/) * (@marcobjensen) * [13 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/multisite-image-path-problem/#post-3623704) * It is set to AllowOverride All * Any ideas then? * Moderator [Ipstenu (Mika Epstein)](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ipstenu/) * (@ipstenu) * 🏳️‍🌈 Advisor and Activist * [13 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/multisite-image-path-problem/#post-3623708) * Try Options All 🙂 * Thread Starter [marcobjensen](https://wordpress.org/support/users/marcobjensen/) * (@marcobjensen) * [13 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/multisite-image-path-problem/#post-3623730) * I just got my host to switch it to Options All. That did NOT solve the problem! * Moderator [Ipstenu (Mika Epstein)](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ipstenu/) * (@ipstenu) * 🏳️‍🌈 Advisor and Activist * [13 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/multisite-image-path-problem/#post-3623746) * 🙁 Damn it. What host is this? * JUST upgrading WP doesn’t do this. Ever. It just … can’t. Have you turned off all your plugins to test if one of them is busted? * Thread Starter [marcobjensen](https://wordpress.org/support/users/marcobjensen/) * (@marcobjensen) * [13 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/multisite-image-path-problem/#post-3623784) * The host is a danish one; [http://www.danhost.dk](http://www.danhost.dk) * I guess you’re right about upgrading not being the reason why! * Yes I have tried disabling all plugins. * Do you have any other ideas or resources to go to? * /Marco * Moderator [Ipstenu (Mika Epstein)](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ipstenu/) * (@ipstenu) * 🏳️‍🌈 Advisor and Activist * [13 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/multisite-image-path-problem/#post-3623786) * You could TRY reinstalling 3.4…. whatever the last one was. Overlaying the files. * Past that, I’d see if you could change the ms-files dependancy and stop using it: * [http://trepmal.com/2013/03/24/removing-ms-files-php-dependency/](http://trepmal.com/2013/03/24/removing-ms-files-php-dependency/) [http://halfelf.org/2012/dumping-ms-files/](http://halfelf.org/2012/dumping-ms-files/) * You should never HAVE to do this, but in your case, it might be worthwhile.
