 * Hello,
 * Here is my problem, I have a network with two different blogs.
 * When I try to add an image, the image is not displayed. (see below)
 * [http://rankdatingsite.com/](http://rankdatingsite.com/)
 * link to image not found : [http://rankdatingsite.com/files/2013/03/choisir_site_de_rencontre1-150×150.jpg](http://rankdatingsite.com/files/2013/03/choisir_site_de_rencontre1-150×150.jpg)
 * Do I have to change the upload url path ? Or is there another solution ?
 * Thanks

 * Yes, I tried some of the solutions that I found but it’s not working.
 * By changing upload path in the settings but it doensn’t work.
 * I also try to change the .htaccess to this
 * RewriteRule ^([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)?files/(.+) wp-includes/ms-files.php?file=$2 [L]
 * but it didn’t work out

 * Please provide links to “the solutions that” you “found but it’s not working”
   so we don’t repeat ourselves.
 * When you describe something like “by changing upload path” please indicate the
   before and after path and any/all errors, warnings, etc.
 * Same goes for “change the .htaccess to this.” What was it before the change? 
   I THINK the RewriteRule and link you provided would result in your server looking
   for
    `http://rankdatingsite.com/wp-includes/ms-files.php?file=2013/03/choisir_site_de_rencontre1-
   150x150.jpg`
 * Does the link to the .jpg you posted above, indicate the physical path? ie. In
   an FTP client the path is /files/2013/03/choisir_site_de_rencontre1-150×150.jpg

   works, so what’s in your .htaccess? 🙂

 * Here is what’s in my .htaccess
 *     ```
       SetEnv PHP_VER 5
       RewriteEngine On
       RewriteBase /
       RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
       # uploaded files
       RewriteRule ^files/(.+) wp-includes/ms-files.php?file=$1 [L]
       RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f [OR]
       RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d
       RewriteRule ^ - [L]
       RewriteRule . index.php [L]
       ```

 * And here are the settings of the site :
 * Upload Path : wp-content/blogs.dir/2/files
    Fileupload Url : [http://rankdatingsite.tccompany.be/files](http://rankdatingsite.tccompany.be/files)
 * The image is displayed through that url : [http://rankdatingsite.com/wp-includes/ms-files.php?file=/2013/03/choisir_site_de_rencontre1-150×150.jpg](http://rankdatingsite.com/wp-includes/ms-files.php?file=/2013/03/choisir_site_de_rencontre1-150×150.jpg)
 * But not on the site via the default rewritting as /files/year/month/filename.

 * Hello Mika,
 * I asked to my host, but due to my hosting choice (shared hosting) I can’t configure
   the file ini.php.
 * Do you know have another solution ?

 * Not ini.php, httpd.conf
 * And if you can’t edit that, then you can’t use Multisite UNLESS you totally reinstall
   it, in a new location, as v 3.5
 * You see, if you start with 3.5, your images don’t use /files/
 * Or you can try this: [http://halfelf.org/2012/dumping-ms-files/](http://halfelf.org/2012/dumping-ms-files/)

 * Hello Mika,
 * I reinstall the v.3.5 but I still have the same problem :
 * On the main site when I uploaded an image, the image is on the server there :
   
   [http://tccompany.be/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/choisir_site_de_rencontre2.jpg](http://tccompany.be/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/choisir_site_de_rencontre2.jpg)
 * On the second site, when I upload an image, the image is uploaded on the server
   there :
    [http://rankdatingsite.com/files/2013/03/choisir_site_de_rencontre1.jpg](http://rankdatingsite.com/files/2013/03/choisir_site_de_rencontre1.jpg)
 * The image is not found, but it’s really on the server on that url :

 * Do you know how I can solve this issue ! I ‘m becomming a bit crazy !
 * Thanks

 * When you reinstalled, did you totally **delete** your site and start over from
   a clean slate? New database, new files, new everything? Or did you just copy 
   the files back up?

 * No I first made a copy of the database then I upgrade to WP 3.5 and re-installed
   the plugins.
    Should I delete everything and re-install everything ? Can I still
   make a copy of the DataBase, beacause I already have some content.

 * Not easily.
 * You can try this: [http://halfelf.org/2012/dumping-ms-files/](http://halfelf.org/2012/dumping-ms-files/)
 * Or this: [http://trepmal.com/2013/03/24/removing-ms-files-php-dependency/](http://trepmal.com/2013/03/24/removing-ms-files-php-dependency/)
 * But if they’re out of your league, then you really need to start over.
 * Backup your content. Export it to an XML and you can reimport, though you may
   not get your images.
