How to handle change of website root directory.

I've build a website in a subdirectory of the hosting website root.

I've moved the website to the root. Now I have a problem with the profile images (avatars) located in /images/profiler

When i right click on the placeholder to copy the image url, the image url appears to be:
http://images/profiler/image-name.jpg instead of:
http://vithas.nl/images/profiler/image-name.jpg.

Note:
- the avatar images have been imported with the CSV import plug-in !!
- AcyMailing, Kunena, Simple Calendar, RSFormPro and Xmap show no problems

You can try this: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/5956993/mysql-string-replace

a single query to replace the avatar fields like:
UPDATE #__jsn_users SET avatar = REPLACE(avatar, '/images/', 'images/');

replace #__ with your DB prefix.

Which part of the story you do understand:
- the migration of the website from a subdirectory to the hosting root?
- the problem with the avatar images?

Originaly the website was at: /htdocs/public/www/somedir. All imported avatar images showed correctly

Than I moved the website to /htdocs/public/www . Now only a placeholder image is visible.

Refer to the urls in my first post: it looks like the EasyProfile component lost the correct position of the standard Joomla images folder, at least for avatar images added before the migration.

Attached is a screen print of part of the member list. It shows 2 members with no avatar (that's OK), 1 member with avatar picture showing (added after the migration) and 2 members with placeholders (blank rectangle) instead of their avatar images which were added before the migration (using CSV-import).

I have made some test on my test site. and maybe I found the problem.

Maybe in CSV file you have set avatars path like /images/profiler/.... instead images/profiler/.... ? (with "/" at the begin of path)

I want see the html code generated.
the source image are not http://images/profiler/... but is //images/profiler/...

This confirms what I wrote in my previous post

With other component works but not well. in src I will see: http://vithas.nl//images/profiler/image-name.jpg (double slash)

In you previous site worked because you had src image like /folder//images/profiler/image-name.jpg

Yes indeed, I used /images/profiler.

How do I correct this, without importing them again?

Alternative:
You can replace(with text editor) the avatar path into your CSV and reimport , the system will be update users.
but still having the problem with a`, ä, etc
