Install
No release zip yet. The repository archive installs, but the folder name will carry the branch suffix and updates will not flow:
wp plugin install https://github.com/cass-e-design/fix-uploads-dir/archive/refs/heads/master.zipReadme
Fix Upload Dir
Wordpress recently stopped using the UPLOADS constant (which usually lets you control which directory images/media are saved in) on my site, breaking all of my media not manually linked. This was designed as a quick and dirty fix using filters to modify the upload directory manually. I've since added a settings page.
Features
- Uses the
upload_dirfilter to manually alter attachment URLs to the correct directory - Directory can be configured via the settings page
Getting Started
Installing
- Download the git, and extract the folder to the /wp-content/plugins directory of your wordpress install.
- Activate the plugin in the admin menu
Configuration
- Plugin settings page now allows you to set the directory from there
- To disable the plugin, deactivate it.
