Title: upload path missing? Last modified: August 21, 2016 --- # upload path missing? * ResolvedModerator [Bet Hannon](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bethannon1/) * (@bethannon1) * [12 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/upload-path-missing/) * For some reason, some of the newer subsites created on my multisite are all saving their images to wp-content/uploads, instead of wp-content/blogs.dir/(site#) like other subsites in the install. (I haven’t figured out why, but one of them was an imported site, migrated with BackupBuddy…) * So I opened network edit sites, and while I can find “Upload Url Path” and “Fileupload Url”, I can’t find an option for “Upload Path” on one of the subsites. * Why would I be missing this, and where can I find it to fix the upload path?

Does a file uploaded there go to the right blogs.dir/[site#]/files? * [KimAshcraft](https://wordpress.org/support/users/kimashcraft/) * (@kimashcraft) * [12 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/upload-path-missing/page/3/#post-4159510) * 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. * Moderator [Bet Hannon](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bethannon1/) * (@bethannon1) * [12 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/upload-path-missing/page/3/#post-4159511) * 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? * [KimAshcraft](https://wordpress.org/support/users/kimashcraft/) * (@kimashcraft) * [12 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/upload-path-missing/page/3/#post-4159512) * They don’t display on a page.post. They’re in the directory. * Moderator [Bet Hannon](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bethannon1/) * (@bethannon1) * [12 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/upload-path-missing/page/3/#post-4159514) * When you look at the HTML tab of the page or post, what is the src for the image? * [KimAshcraft](https://wordpress.org/support/users/kimashcraft/) * (@kimashcraft) * [12 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/upload-path-missing/page/3/#post-4159515) * src=”[http://kimashcraft.com/maternity-and-beyond/files/2011/09/vickery3.jpg”](http://kimashcraft.com/maternity-and-beyond/files/2011/09/vickery3.jpg”); * Moderator [Bet Hannon](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bethannon1/) * (@bethannon1) * [12 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/upload-path-missing/page/3/#post-4159516) * 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”? * Moderator [Bet Hannon](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bethannon1/) * (@bethannon1) * [12 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/upload-path-missing/page/3/#post-4159517) * While you’re at it: what is the setting for “upload path” too? * [KimAshcraft](https://wordpress.org/support/users/kimashcraft/) * (@kimashcraft) * [12 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/upload-path-missing/page/3/#post-4159520) * 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. * Moderator [Bet Hannon](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bethannon1/) * (@bethannon1) * [12 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/upload-path-missing/page/3/#post-4159521) * 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](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. * [KimAshcraft](https://wordpress.org/support/users/kimashcraft/) * (@kimashcraft) * [12 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/upload-path-missing/page/3/#post-4159522) * My upload_path is wp-content/blogs.dir/3/files * I did check and that file is definitely in that location.
