    Hi guys …

    I have 53 websites done in WP,
    all of them use custom upload_path because I use one single directory/installation for all of them.

    Now, where is the “settings->media->upload_path” option gone in 3.5 ?

    I really hope you didn’t choose to remove this configuration option for future versions, and please, if you did give me an alternative …

    For example, creating a new define in the wp-config would be good.
    Something like:
    define(‘WP_UPLOAD_PATH’, ‘***’);

    The “undefined function get_option()” error means your running that code too early, you have to run it AFTER WP engine loaded, so in functions.php inside the theme, for example.

    I personally made a MUST USE plugin with zabatonni code inside and put it in all websites, so when I install new WP websites this option appear again and I can change it.

    Ah, got it. I was putting it in the wp-config.php file.

    Thanks!

    I would like to add that I also think this is a strange step backward in functionality.

    I do not understand why there is a belief that…

    “WordPress should aim to avoid UI options that require filesystem changes as well, not to mention requiring the user to convert between paths and URLs.”

    If people want to hamstring WordPress.. they should make a “lite” version for newbies. Simplifying things for those that have less understanding is not a step forward.

    WordPress 3.5 (let alone WordPress 3.4) is no longer in beta. Closing topic.
