[Plugin: WordPress Download Monitor] problem with media in different folder than wp-content/uploads/

  • Anyone run across this problem? I just discovered this great plugin and I want to use it on my blog but my media is a different folder (root/media/) and I see that DM wants it in wp-content/uploads. Anyone know how I go about changing this? I guess I could just change my media folder for all future uploads to where DM wants it but I would like to monitor downloads from older posts too.

    Thanks for any insight!

    The wordpress uploader now handles uploading so its difficult (if possible) to change. You can still monitor old downloads though; just ‘add existing’ and enter the url of the file. This would also work if you wanted to manually upload files via FTP to your chosen directory.

    You could always manually edit the folder directory to where you have files uploading for wordpress by editing the files for download montior uploader.php (line 589) and wp-download_monitor.php (lines 1017, 1019, 1021, 1022, 1023, 1328, 1330, 1332, 1333, 1334, 1449, 2617) until the author of the plugin makes it where you can set where your upload directory is.

    Change at your own risk and always make a backup of your database prior to making changes to anything.
