Title: Relocate Upload Author: alanft Published: 24 An Dàmhair 2008 Last modified: 8 An Gearran 2020 --- Search plugins This plugin **hasn’t been tested with the latest 3 major releases of WordPress**. It may no longer be maintained or supported and may have compatibility issues when used with more recent versions of WordPress. ![](https://s.w.org/plugins/geopattern-icon/relocate-upload.svg) # Relocate Upload By [alanft](https://profiles.wordpress.org/alanft/) [Download](https://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/relocate-upload.zip) * [Details](https://gd.wordpress.org/plugins/relocate-upload/#description) * [Reviews](https://gd.wordpress.org/plugins/relocate-upload/#reviews) * [Installation](https://gd.wordpress.org/plugins/relocate-upload/#installation) * [Development](https://gd.wordpress.org/plugins/relocate-upload/#developers) [Support](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/relocate-upload/) ## Description Relocate Upload lets you specify folders, and adds a menu to the Media Library ( and Edit Media admin page) that lets you switch media items between these folders and WPs default upload location. ### Known Issues When creating new folders, ## Screenshots * [[ * A simple menu switches media assets to your favourite locations. All through the magic of AJAX. * [[ * A simple settings page to define the folder locations. ## Installation 1. Upload the whole ’relocate-upload’ folder to the plugins directory. 2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress. 3. Specify your folders in the settings page. ## FAQ Why? What’s the point of these other folders? Most servers are set up so that assets can only be used when referred from your own site – to stop bandwidth leeching. However folders can be set aside that don’t obey this rule – e.g. for placing images on other sites, downloading mp3s from RSS feeds and so on. ## Reviews ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/6ba271e8b62d897ac9a978c4102d0a938aabb488bc35afaeee0e3aab8993fbc3? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[It works fine, but…](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/it-works-fine-but-3/)󠁿 [Elisa](https://profiles.wordpress.org/elisa-demonki/) 12 An t-Samhain 2020 you must change in plugin line 348: return preg_replace( '#(http://.*?/)[.]*?' . SERVER_DOC_ROOT . '#', $protocol . $host . '/' , $url ); in: return preg_replace('#( https://.*?/)[.]*?' . SERVER_DOC_ROOT . '#', $protocol . $host . '/' , $url ); Because with http doesnt work.

It took me a little to figure out how it works. Just a note, sometimes when I first upload something it will appear to be in the folder I want, but it is actually in the default location. I have found that I just need to move it to the default location (it will fail, because that is where it already is) and them move it to the correct folder and it will be in the right spot. Give yourself time to experiment and play with this plugin and you will find out that it works! ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/0159d61a02504298bad74a684f94f7164cd36c0a1e05e11fc720a50ae751ded3? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Broken?](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/broken-235/)󠁿 [md004](https://profiles.wordpress.org/md004/) 21 An Dàmhair 2016 I received an error message: “FAIL: Unknown error occurred.” ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/f7f3a956e2d06c9c0971ae94f5e8c8266d4d43a38c1e5fb9d7b4bad723ccee75? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Plugin broken (v0.24)](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-broken-v024/)󠁿 [nabeelsyed](https://profiles.wordpress.org/nabeelsyed/) 3 An t-Sultain 2016 The plugin used to work but currently breaks the URL to the image.
