Hi, I am migrating a site from Joomla to WP and I have a page with a bunch of images that I don't want to have to manually re-insert into the content - the image path looks like this http://betterwebsitebuilders.com/energybars/blog/images/stories/25026_s.png - how would that translate on a multisite if I want to create the directory and manually upload the images via ftp? I've tried creating an images/stories folder under their blog dir (44) but that doesn't seem to work .... any help greatly appreciated!

Greetings bettereverything,
I would recommend using the same path you already have imbedded for the graphics in WordPress and do not see any reason why it will not work just fine.

Hi Joe, maybe you didn't understand my problem - that path does not work - when I go into ftp there is no path that looks like that - I need to know what that path would look like via ftp. For example in ftp I can put folders in under
wp-content/blogs-dir/44/whatever - there are no directories called energybars/blog/

Greetings bettereverything,
I wholeheartedly agree with you that there is no folder like that. As long as you are talking graphics, you will want to create the folder in the exact path that you gave us earlier.

Hi Harmony,
Any media files etc that you upload to blog 44 (this year and this month!) will be stored in a folder like below:
/wp-content/blogs.dir/44/files/2012/02/
You could create that folder and upload all your images to it. Then you would need to edit the url's in your page to something like this:
http://betterwebsitebuilders.com/energybars/blog/files/2012/02/25026_s.png
...or this:
http://betterwebsitebuilders.com/energybars/files/2012/02/25026_s.png
Hope this helps! :-)

You want to duplicate the entire path http://betterwebsitebuilders.com/energybars/blog/images/stories/
This is the best solution unless you want to recode all the graphics to a new URL in which I understood you do not want to do.
