How to get the media upload year month structure back?

Hi

i found the answer to my own question

you have to go to the wpms super admin sites settings and

per website set the

Uploads Use Yearmonth Folders from 0 to 1

Why has this been done this way and why is not available anymore in the settings per website in the media settings as it was before?

Seems to me as very usage unfriendly. I wonder what the main reason behind this could be.

Best regards,

discovered that all the images are going into the same folder per site? sites/2, sites/3

They’re supposed to go to sites/2/YEAR/MONTH … In fact, they did on every site I set up. The default for Uploads Use Yearmonth Folders is 1.

Hi

they dont if you setup a clean install and then without uploading anything convert into wpms with domain mapping.

Then by default the Uploads Use Yearmonth Folders is set to Zero hence OFF.

Anyway i solved my problem by turning it on site by site in the wpms site settings.

However if you before you convert to wpms set the use of the year/month structure to ON in the media settings of the root domain and upload one image, the folder structure setup is also applied to the newly created subdomains within the multisite and the year/month structure is used.

I still wonder why the option is not visible anymore in the media settings once the wordpress is converted to wpms.

Well THAT is interesting. It shouldn’t do that, but normally people test the subsite before mapping anyway.

I pinged the plugin devs on this so they can take a look.

Domain mapping does not affect whether the year/month is used or not. DM filters the image URLs when the content is shown on the front end of the site.

Hi

I dont know what is causing it, I have setup, i cant recall how many multisites, and since wp 3.5.x i discovered that i have this issue when i convert to wpms without having done anything at all in the root domain. I mean install and immediatelly convert to wpms. The primary goal of this thread was to make people aware of the issue so they dont spend time on searching for the solutoon and scratching their head what might be going on.

It would be nice if we had the toggle back into the media settings once we have converted to wpms as it believe one should be able todo decide if he wants to use the year/month structure or not.

I am not talking about the url at the frontend as i am aware of how that works and how wp filters the url. The year month structure can be very usefull when you have loads of images into a website with (like i regret some users do) the same images names.

Thanks for your contribution to my issue.
