All the previews are screwed. Are you sure these instructions work for the latest version of WordPress, which is what I installed.

I created the DB with the same name. Media files will NOT show up in the media panel even though they are in the uploads folders. Graphics from the posts are missing even though I looked at the path and went into the folders they were supposedly in and they were missing. I did get a complete backup from WP Engine people so I know I did not miss uploading anything. Are they in the DB? I made sure the uploads folder permissions were all set to 0755. To complicate matters, the former webmaster won’t answer my questions about how he set up another site in another folder which I cannot find, (www.domainname.com/otherdomain/) and was accessed from the menu. I was an admin on the other server but I only made posts with graphics to both sites… did not do much else. The site was so complicated with dozens of plugins, add-ons and other unnecessary stuff and it is just a MESS. Former curator will not even answer questions. I am desperate to help the client as his site was a trove of information since 2013 and he doesn’t want to lose it. The sub-site can be recreated separately. I just want the main site to show the graphics before I start tweaking it and removing the junk.

All of this heartache would be avoided if it was based on relative locations.
