Repository metrics are context, not quality scores. Active installations measure adoption and can strongly reflect a plugin’s age and historical popularity. Ratings, recent updates and “Tested up to” metadata also do not guarantee modern code, error-free operation, security, feature completeness or suitability for a particular site. Why active installs don’t tell the whole story →

WP PlugIndex currently records Disable Multisite Rewrites version 1.0 as active, updated 8y ago and tested up to WordPress 5.0.

Overview

About this plugin

By default, WordPress Multisite uses certain rewrite rules for file uploads. This leads to a URL that doesn’t reflect the exact location of your files on the server. This plugin disables that functionality.

Note: This plugin is extremely simple in purpose. It requires additional setup before it can be used with most Multisite Networks.

Before Use

This plugin is very specific in purpose. In order to use it, you will need to follow some steps first:

  • Move your images from /wp-content/blogs.dir/SITENUM/files/ to /wp-content/uploads/sites/SITENUM/. SITENUM corresponds to the ID of each of your sub-sites.
  • Modify the database for each site. I recommend using this awesome script (just don’t forget to delete it when you’re done!). You will need to update the image URLs in the database to replace http://site.example.com/files/ with http://site.example.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/SITENUM/
  • Clear out the settings for each site for “Upload Path”, “Upload URL Path”, and “File Upload URL”. You can find these settings by going to Network Admin > Sites, then for each individual site, click the “Edit” link, then go to the Settings tab.
