FAQ

Why? What’s the point of these other folders?

Most servers are set up so that assets can only be used when referred from your own site – to stop bandwidth leeching. However folders can be set aside that don’t obey this rule – e.g. for placing images on other sites, downloading mp3s from RSS feeds and so on.

Reviews

It works fine, but…

Elisa November 12, 2020

you must change in plugin line 348: return preg_replace( '#(https://.*?/)[.]*?' . SERVER_DOC_ROOT . '#', $protocol . $host . '/' , $url ); in: return preg_replace( '#(https://.*?/)[.]*?' . SERVER_DOC_ROOT . '#', $protocol . $host . '/' , $url ); Because with http doesnt work. Thank you! I like the plugin very much!

Just what I was looking for

lh822184 January 7, 2017

I was hesitant to use a plugin with so few active installs and not the greatest review rating, but this is exactly what I needed. It took me a little to figure out how it works. Just a note, sometimes when I first upload something it will appear to be in the folder I want, but it is actually in the default location. I have found that I just need to move it to the default location (it will fail, because that is where it already is) and them move it to the correct folder and it will be in the right spot. Give yourself time to experiment and play with this plugin and you will find out that it works!

Plugin broken (v0.24)

The plugin used to work but currently breaks the URL to the image. Needs to be fixed.

Sometimes works
