Destinations – Expecting a valid Directory ??

    I am trying to add Destinations.

    FYI:
    The checkbox for “Organize my uploads into month- and year-based folders” is UNCHECKED.

    Default Info:
    Label -> Default
    Destination -> wp-content/uploads

    UNSUCCESSFUL EXAMPLE ENTRY:
    Label -> Audio
    Destination -> wp-content/uploads/my_audio

    for the Destination directory, my unsuccessful attempts were:
    my_audio
    wp-content/uploads/my_audio
    wp-content/uploads_my_audio

    FYI: I have tried these entries with and without the “Add to Library” checkbox and still received the error.

    Each entry above resulted in the error:
    “Expecting a valid directory! Please fix.
    To add to WordPress Library Destination must be in within uploads directory! Please fix.    “

    My end goal is to create unique directories for different medias. (ie: images, audio, video, etc.)

    Hi,

    If you want the files in the wordpress directory the valid option is wp-content/uploads/my_audio.

    This plugin does not create folders in the filesystem, so you will need to create the folder first. I will look at making the error messages more clear.

    A may look at creating directory in future but the tiding up of the directories is more complicated.
