    So I decided to move my site from one of the sub sites to the main site.
    It’s a multisite install.

    Basically I went into the database and modified the urls and site numbers.
    Everything seems fine, except the images are not showing.
    When i examine the url structure of where the image should be, it’s missing the site number,
    Example: /site/3/

    Any idea where i can go to fix that? Is it in the db?
    Interestingly, the category icon images work no problem.

    Hi Colin,

    Thanks for your post. Kindly, perform a full backup right now and use a plugin like better-search-replace to find those older URLs and update them to the correct URL.

    Thanks!

    I don’t think that’s going to work, because in the db there is no /site/3/ where the images are referenced in each listing.

    If you add images so the library now, do they receive the correct URL?

    Good idea,

    ok, so I just added an image and it is showing.
    The url of this image doesn’t have the /site/3/ in the url

    So I think what that means is I need to move all images from:
    /wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2018/
    to
    /wp-content/uploads/2018/

    Do you think that makes sense?

    Hi Colin,

    I just noticed that you’re still using older versions of the GD addons. Kindly update everything and see if it helps. If not, deactivate all non-GD plugins and see if it fixes the issue you had there.

    Thanks!

    Thanks Kor,

    However that’s another issue i just noticed….
    None of the geo plugins will update.
    I get this error Update Failed: Download failed. Unauthorized

    I can upgrade other plugins.
    Strangely, on my live site it is not notifying me that these plugins have updates.

    To activate a domain, you need to add the license key for each plugin when installed on a particular domain and activate it.

    If you see a license key on these domains now, they probably come from another domain (database transfer) and have not been activated for the domain where they are installed right now.

    You’ll need to deactivate them, add them and activate them again.

    Otherwise if those are not your domain and they are using a license key from another account, probably that account is expired.

    Hope this helps,

    Thanks
