    If the images are within the uploads folders, you should be able to access the images directly. 404 means that the file was not found. It’s not a permission issue. If it was a permissions issue, you would have got a 403. Since you have SSH access, could you just go to your uploads folder and check one of the images to see if it actually exists where it is supposed to? Also maybe you should check if your image URL has some extra/unnecessary characters or terms? Checking one image URL should be enough to help you identify the problem. your image URL should look like this:

    https://yourdomain.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/imagefile.png

    Hope this helps 🙂

    Replacing your old domain with your new one in the database is quite easy. You can try using the Better Search and Replace plugin. Search for your old domain and replace it with your new domain.

    For example:
    Search for: https://olddomain.com
    Replace with: https://newdomain.com

    Just make sure that the ending slashes on your domain match exactly. Take a backup of your database before you do a search replace, just in case something goes wrong. While doing a search replace you can select which tables to search replace in. I just select all tables. The plugin lets you do a test run before you do a final replace, so that you can see how many instances there are of your old domain.

    Hope this helps.

    500 error means that the FTP server is not able to recognize the command. DigitalOcean does not allow FTP by default. You will need to use SFTP. You can use Filezilla or any other SFTP software. If you have a SSH key added on your server, it makes things a lot simpler. Did you add a SSH key to your DigitalOcean server when you created it? You can use it to SSH or SFTP into your software. SSH can be complicated at first but once you get the hang of it, you’ll definately love it. If you do not have a SSH key, you can use SFTP using your root username and password, which was created when you created your server. The configuration for SFTP using password is:

    Port:       22
Host:       Droplet IP
Username:   root
Password:   root password
Protocol:   SFTP

    Hope this helps. Just reply to this comment if you need further help.
