Uploads path changed correctly, but still having image issues!

    I changed the uploads path to point to an “uploads” folder I want to use at my root level directory where the WordPress install is located. I used the absolute path to the desired uploads folder location and when I uploaded my first image, WordPress created the desired folder and placed the images exactly where they should be. When looking at my root folder via FTP, it placed the images in the following folder location…

    /uploads/2011/03

    This is exactly where I wanted my images to upload, so this part is working precisely as it should. However, the “File URL” listed under the images in the Media library is listing the default “wp-content/uploads/date/month/filename” location, which obviously is not where the images are being uploaded. As a result, WordPress can’t locate any of the images and all previews are broken, even though WordPress is actually uploading them to the correct folder.

    I then edited the wp-config.php file to point uploads to the same path, but that didn’t fix the problem either. I’ve searched through the related topics here in support to no avail. I’m out of ideas here. .

    EDITED TO ADD: I forgot to mention that I also changed the “Fileupload Url” to point to the correct file location, but something here still is not telling the media library to look in the right location after upload.

    Suggestions? Workarounds?

    UPDATE: Problem resolved! Disregard.

    It turns out my hosting provider was doing emergency work on the database server, which was preventing the necessary changes from either being written to my site’s database or being relayed back to my website! I discovered what was going on after getting booted from phpMyAdmin and not being able to log back in. Once I the server came back up, my changes went through and now the image uploader is working as intended.

    Happy ending over here. Well, for now at least. ??
