Hi Karl,

This is a known issue. It's being fixed in the next version of WP, but as a solution to your current problem...

The database stores the file path as a serialized array in the database. So, when you're looking through the DB values, you'll see something like this:

"file";s:62:"/home/username/public_html/wp-content/uploads/images/plant.jpg"

That number (62) is the number of bytes/characters in the value (/home/username/public_html/wp-content/uploads/images/plant.jpg). So when you change the path, you must also change the byte count preceding it. Try updating that and the images and thumbnails should show up. Or you can re-upload all your images. The next version of WP will not store the absolute path in an array like this. Sorry for the trouble! Hope this helps!

Hi all

I've come upon a strange problem that I for my life can't seem to solve. I've been searching in the WP support forums and google, but nothing... So I turn here to see if someone might have a solution.

Yesterday I moved my developing site to my standard domain. It's a WP 2.0.2 installation. The developer domain is on the same server and just another subdomain. The developer site has the adress http://utv5.wangstedt.net and my standard site has http://www.wangstedt.net.

Nothing strange about that. I just updated the blog to the new domain name.

But when I then got into edit mode I saw that the pictures I've u/l:ed from within WP didn't show. I figured the database was not upgraded to the new domain everywhere, so I did that manually. (That might be something to add to trac?)

Now the pictures showed, but not the thumbs. But the DB was correctly update with the search paths, and the thumbs were at the right location/folder.

If I u/l a new picture, the thumb is being created correctly and shows.

Anyone know how to solve this so I don't have to u/l all pictures all over?

Thanks
