media uploads not working after change content directory

    Hi,

    I have changed the content directory in the ithemes security settings (on a fresh install), now whenever I upload a file such as an image it automatically creates the folder wp-content in my wordpress installation root and stores the upload files there, but in the media library the file url includes the correct changed directory.

    So when I use an image it isn’t showing up because the link url is to my new changed directory folder but the file is actually stored in the wp-content folder that it automatically created.

    Not sure what’s going on, any ideas?

    Kind Regards,
    Elliot

    Please make sure you are using the latest iTSec plugin release (4.9.0) ?

    If using the latest iTSec plugin release (4.9.0) does not resolve this issue please check the values for the options upload_path and upload_url_path as stored in the database [prefix]options table.

    Where [prefix] should be substituted with your database tables prefix.

    Also if the UPLOADS constant is defined in the wp-config.php file its value will overrule the values as set in the upload_path and upload_url_path options.

    If set WordPress uses the above to determin the upload folder.

    However the iTSec plugin change wp-content feature does not change the UPLOADS constant in the wp-config.php file (if defined) nor does it change the upload_path and upload_url_path options (if set) as stored in the database.

    Hi dwinden,

    Thank you for your help and sorry for my late reply I didn’t get an email notification.

    I am using the (4.9.0) ITSec release and when I changed wp-content name I was experiencing the issue of the uploads still going to the wp-content/…

    I have changed the upload url in the options table and the config file and it is working now.

    If the ITSec pluging change wp-content feature doesn’t change the constant or url they should advise you of this in the section to change the wp-content directory name.

    Kind Regards,

    No problem. Glad to hear the issue is resolved.

    I totally agree with you. However it would not surprise me when this feature will be pulled from the iTSec plugin in the future.

    As the issue seems to be resolved please mark this topic as ‘resolved’.
