Description
We have a network with two websites:
- site1.com (Main)
- site2.com
We want to make site2.com the primary one, and after a while delete it.
When you do that by changing the BLOG_ID_CURRENT_SITE to the site2.com ID, the gallery breaks.
All the images there are broken because _wp_upload_dir changes depending on the status of the website has primary.
A quick example in this case:
Simulated result of wp_upload_dir
Before:
- site1.com - Primary - wp-content/uploads/2023/01
- site2.com - wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/01
After:
- site1.com - wp-content/uploads/sites/1/2023/01
- site2.com - Primary - wp-content/uploads/2023/01
This means that when you change the primary site, you can't use old images, and if you have to edit old posts, the images on those could break too.
