Hi Kim!
I have on each site (in Network Admin dashboard, on the list of all sites, click edit a single site, and to go the settings tab):
for upload path: wp-content/blogs.dir/[site#]/files
Upload Url Path is blank
Fileupload Url is: http://[subsitename].churchwebsiteprogram.com/files
Have you tried a test upload from Media–Add New? Does a file uploaded there go to the right blogs.dir/[site#]/files?
That’s what I’ve been doing for 2 days. My images don’t how up when they go to the blogs.dir/[site#]/files.
When you say “don’t show up”, do you mean don’t display on a page/post, or in the directory when you FTP in a look for it?
They don’t display on a page.post. They’re in the directory.
When you look at the HTML tab of the page or post, what is the src for the image?
It looks like you are using subdirectories, which I don’t have any experience with– I use subdomains. I don’t think that makes too much difference here, but I could be mistaken.
For this specific subsite, what is the setting for its “fileupload url”?
While you’re at it: what is the setting for “upload path” too?
If you mean from the wp_3_options file in the database, the upload path is wp-content/blogs.dir/3/files. And do you mean the upload_url_path for the fileupload url? If so, that value is blank.
No, upload_url_path and fileupload url are essentially the same thing (I think…). What you are looking for is “upload_path”. It looks like this in the dashboard settings: http://tinyurl.com/m5895jk
THAT’s what controls what directory your uploads go into. And that’s what I was missing that caused the problems that initiated this post.
Have you FTP’ed in and checked to see that vickery3.jpg is in blogs.dir/3/files/2011/09/?
BTW, you don’t need to get into the database to see those things. You can see most of the site options in the dashboard: in the network admin dashboard, go to All sites, then hover over the name of a site, then click edit. Then go to Settings.
My upload_path is wp-content/blogs.dir/3/files
I did check and that file is definitely in that location.
