Disable WordPress Multisite rewrites for File Uploads

== Description ==

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.

***If your Multisite was initially created using WordPress 3.5 or later, then you do not need this plugin***

== Installation ==

1. Upload the `disable-multisite-rewrites` folder to your `/wp-content/plugins/` directory
2. Activate the plugin through the "Plugins" menu in WordPress

== Before Use ==

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

1. 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.
2. Modify the database for each site. I recommend using [this awesome script](http://interconnectit.com/products/search-and-replace-for-wordpress-databases/) (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/`
3. 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.
