# Multisite media mapping issue

 * I’ve just started to migrate an older multisite network to fresh install. I’ve
   installed it using the “subdirectory” option, then used the Domain Mapping plugin
   to map another domain to a subsite.
 * Currently, I have:
    main-site.com secondary-site.com (a domain mapped to main-
   site.com/secondary/)
 * Permalinks on the secondary site are working fine, but URL rewriting isn’t working
   for media uploads. All uploads are accessible only via the main site.
 * `mainsite.com/secondary/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2013/07/image.jpg`
 * Here’s the .htaccess rules I’m using:
 *     ```
       # BEGIN WordPress
       RewriteEngine On
       RewriteBase /
       RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [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).*) $2 [L]
       RewriteRule ^([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)?(.*\.php)$ $2 [L]
       RewriteRule . index.php [L]
       # END WordPress
       ```
   
 * Any ideas as to why uploads aren’t being routed through ‘secondary-site.com/files/*/*/
   image.jpg’?

 * All NEW uploads? Or all existing ones?
 * `secondarysite.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2013/07/image.jpg` isn’t working
   at all?

 * It was throwing a 500 error, but never mind; I just got it working,
 * The “homeurl” field in the site settings hadn’t been changed to the new domain.(
   Oddly, “siteurl” had). A quick trip into phpmyadmin and it’s all working as expected.
 * Thanks for getting back to me, nonetheless.
