Yes, this is a real limitation of the new "Media Files" implementation which as designed for multi-media files, images, videos, etc. One goal of the Media Files work was to allow a hierarchy of folders, but also to allow you to move things about in those folders without breaking links to images, videos, etc. There is a way of aliasing files, but that is only available for "old" files that were migrated from earlier versions of Roller. Perhaps the best way to resolve this problem is to enable that aliasing for all files, or at least add an configuration option to allow it. I created an issue to track this: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ROL-1899 > By the way: how can I commit my "lightword" theme to rollerthemes.com? rollerthemes.com was never part of the Apache Roller project and it no longer exists now. The URL simply redirects to the old Roller project at Java.net. We used that project to store Roller plugins and themes that could not be part of Roller due to their license. Moving forward, I think we should instead use Apache Extras for Roller add-ons and themes. Here's our new space: http://code.google.com/a/apache-extras.org/p/roller-extras/ I can add you as a committer there if you'd like, or add your theme there myself. - Dave
