 * I have problem with generated URL path:
    <network_root>/wp-content/uploads/sites/
   <site_id>/sites/<site_id>/
 * two time add sites/<site_id>
 * Your solution from June 12. 2019:
 * And to summarise, changing “Upload Path” value from:
    /<full_path>/wp-content/
   uploads/sites/3 to: /<full_path>/wp-content/uploads should fix this issue.
 * Not work for me 🙁
    Can you help me?

 * I’d have to set up a multisite installation to try it out. I’ll let you know 
   once I find some time to do that.

 * Hey [@forum1nick](https://wordpress.org/support/users/forum1nick/), sorry for
   the late reply, I guess you probably found some solution or workaround already.
   But here is what I found, it might be useful for someone else with these issues.
 * So I didn’t find anything I can fix in this plugin, and normally, you don’t even
   need to change “Upload Path” (e.g. with define(‘UPLOADS’, ‘wp-content/uploads’);)
   since it works fine with the default configuration.
 * I tested this plugin again with multiple sites in multisite network and with 
   files in various folder structures and it’s always scanning and importing without
   a problem. That was with WordPress 5.2.1, then I updated to 5.5.3 and it also
   works.
 * But in order to test this, I had to move my multisite WordPress installation 
   to a new computer and under a different path. Doing that, I noticed that WordPress
   remembered the old path, for only 1 Site (“sub-site”). So for that site only,
   on the initial screen of this plugin, I had this path:
 *     ```
       /full/old/path/wp-content/uploads/sites/3
       ```
   
 * instead of the correct one:
 *     ```
       /wp-content/uploads/sites/3
       ```
   
 * I found out that’s because I had this row in `wp_3_options` database table:
 *     ```
       +---------+--------------+-----------------------------+--------+
       |option_id|option_name   |option_value                 |autoload|
       +---------+--------------+-----------------------------+--------+
       |428      |upload_path   |/old/path/wp-content/uploads |yes     |
       +---------+--------------+-----------------------------+--------+
       ```
   
 * And when I tried the “native” WordPress Media Library uploader – it didn’t work
   properly, because it uploaded my file to that old path. So in this scenario, 
   even WordPress itself is broken, with nothing to do with this plugin.
 * I couldn’t find where to edit that path from WP, because it seems like WP removed
   that option at some point.
    So I solved that by adding this to wp-config.php:
 *     ```
       define('UPLOADS', 'wp-content/uploads');
       ```
   
 * Removing that upload_path option from the database should also work, but I didn’t
   try it.
 * By the way, I don’t see how you tried to solve this, what exactly did you do.
