Thanks Doug! That worked great. But how can I center that box vertically, to align with the other boxes?

In reply to: HELP! Published site, images missing, media folder inaccessible!I’d really appreciate some guidance on how best to replace before I screw up the whole site.
Thanks!

In reply to: HELP! Published site, images missing, media folder inaccessible!Okay, I think I made a backup of the database, so I’m in the search and replace process now… the name was http://www.domainname.com/newsite/…
Do I want to do a find for “newsite/” and replace with an empty field? I assume that is how I would delete the additional and now unnecessary part of the path.
Thanks!

In reply to: HELP! Published site, images missing, media folder inaccessible!Okay. I’m still having trouble figuring out how to backup our database (what a pain!), but after that, and after I run search and replace, will that then let me access the media folder through add to media button?

In reply to: HELP! Published site, images missing, media folder inaccessible!Is there any other way of doing it? This is getting more and more complicated.
I went to the server page on my host and it says:
“Warning! This database was created in conjunction with an installed script. Any changes to this database may result in the related script no longer functioning, which may require reinstallation of the script and potential loss of data.”Hasn’t wordpress had this particular issue in the past and haven’t they already taken the appropriate measures?

In reply to: HELP! Published site, images missing, media folder inaccessible!Don’t mean to be so green, but where is the database? Does that reside in the root folder with the rest of the wordpress stuff?

In reply to: HELP! Published site, images missing, media folder inaccessible!Thanks esmi. I’m in a little over my head here, can you be more specific please. What exactly is it that I’m searching for and trying to replace?
Also, the plugin says: “Attention: You cannot undo any changes made by this plugin. It is therefore advisable to backup your database before running this plugin. No legal claims to the author of this plugin! Activate the plugin only, if you want to use it!”
This makes me very nervous. We are on launch day and the last thing we need is for something else to go wrong.
Thanks

In reply to: HELP! Published site, images missing, media folder inaccessible!Thanks esmi, but how does this help me? I’m an intermediate user of wordpress and don’t quite understand how searching for and replacing ID’s is going to help me gain access to media through the add button on a post or make my images visible.
Isn’t there some way to just re-establish the post images with the media folder?
Thanks!
