Enable Custom Media path Folder and URL

[discobot]

WordPress 3.5 removes the setting fields to change the media upload path and url.

It can be enabled manually from here /wp-admin/options.php

NAME-upload_path AND upload_path_url

Settings > Media, we can set the upload path(FOLDER) to folder like images,data etc.

It will be super useful for all.

I’d suggest to add that to the Improved Media Library petition; its yet another part of the issues with the current Media Lib setup.

Although after re-reading your more lengthy explanation on Slack, its something different … you mentioned changing the path of ‘wp-content’, which currently may be changed via the constants WP_CONTENT_DIR and WP_CONTENT_URL manually.

Hello @fabian. That was a question and it is a feature request.

This is another one that should be closed.

This seems to be the solution for this petition. So the petition will be closed.

As a coincidence, I reported a documentation error at WP yesterday, which is on the Code Reference for get_option as a list of some options. One of them is

'upload_path' – Default upload location; set in Miscellaneous Options.

So it seems that it used to be in core, and was removed, to use the defines.
