Hi,

I installed 7.1 in a new directory, ran the importer from 6.5.5., did all the control panel settings, and everything looks like it's all good.

Before I install the redirect scripts into the old directory and bring everybody over, though, I'm wondering about the images. When people look at old posts, are the images within those old posts still going to be drawn from the image subdirectories in the old installation directory?

So I either have to leave my images directories intact in the old installation directory or go into mySQL and replace the old image links with new ones? Or is there some mapping function for images that will end up pulling the image from the image subdirectories in the new installation directory?

Thanks,
Mary

The image directories will need to remain as the importer doesn't move files they just import data

OK, thanks for the help, Gizmo.

Myself, after the move, I setup a redirect in my .htaccess file for the images, on another site I setup a symbolic link to redirect them to a new directory, or you could move them and replace links in your mysql database (though it'd be quite lengthy)
