The wordpress multisite upload problem

One of my friends has a multi-site installation of the WordPress, and he had a problem with the additional sites.

When he wanted to upload images, they uploaded into the proper folder, but the uploader provide wrong URL for the images, and he was not able to use them. The wordpress created the URL for all sites based on the main settings, and provided the “/files/image.jpg” style URL for all of the uploaded files.

The not appropriately selected encoding of database tables can cause annoying problems on a website.

Usually the wrong encoding of the database tables or fields causes this kind of problems.

The easiest way to do this change on database tables, the following;

ALTER TABLE {table} CONVERT TO CHARACTER SET utf8 COLLATE utf8_general_ci

This SQL script changes the encoding of the table and all of that fields in the table to UTF8.

WordPress AWPCP & SEO

I had to turn on the SEO mode of the AWPCP PlugIn, but I had some additional pages, what was not handled with the AWPCP SEO mode handlers. So somehow I needed to add the handling of this page to the system.

I’m lazy, and did not want to make too much work, so I picked the options-permalink.php (/wp-admin/)
to do the work for me.
