How to Set Up the Upload Folder

I also want to set the upload path. Now its going to /wp-content/uploads/

Is there a way to put it in a map so its showing in the back-end media/gallery section?

debbrancheau you can set the upload folder inside the shortcode, like this:

[wordpress_file_upload uploadpath=”wp-content/uploads/myuploaddir”]

replace “wp-content/uploads/myuploaddir” with anything you like.

jhchiathe plugin is designed to work in the front-end. You cannot use it in the Dashboard. However, if you want the uploaded files (like images) to go to the Media section of your Dashboard, this can be done by adding medialink=”true” inside the shortcode.

The new version that will be released in a few days will contain an easier way to configure the plugin, linking the shortcode with the shortcode composer.

Hi Nickolas, is the update released?:)

The feature is ready, I am currently performing some tests for bugs… it will be released in a few days…

No matter how I create the shortcode (directly or with Shortcode Composer -> General tab -> Basic Functionalities -> Upload Path), I can’t persuade the plugin to save uploaded files anywhere but the default “wp-content/uploads/2015/10” folder. I want it in “wp-content/uploads/myuploaddir/%username%”. I’m new to the plugin. Advice would be appreciated.

I’m also curious to know what the “Create Upload Path” option does.

I should say that the technical article for setting up a user-managed file browser and attaching it to the page of interest was great!

so, problem solved?

Sorry for the late response. I’ll definitely check out the new update when it’s out but your guidance should be helpful. Thanks.

Hello!
Dear Nick,
I was trying your plugin and I think it’s pretty impressive. Lot’s of features and very well laid out.
There is just one issue I can’t understand. Why can I only upload to standard wordpress folders? Let me explain. I uploaded a small csv file to the directory wp-content/uploads and it worked okay.
After this I went to the settings and changed the upload a new folder I created inside wp-content called “newfolder”. I tried again to upload the csv file to path “wp-content/newfolder”.No error messages were issued by your plugin but unfortunately no file was uploaded.
I thought it could be a permissions problem but I tried with other similar plugins and it worked.
What do you think it could be?
Regards,
Jose

it should normally work, can you send me your shortcode?
