Just a quick tip today, but a favourite of mine. Moving your wp-content area. Why would you want to do this? It looks just that bit nicer to have your images uploaded to /media/ than /wp-content/. In this post we’ll learn how to tell WordPress to upload images and other media to /media/.
Really easy this. Click on ‘Miscellaneous’ under ‘Settings’ and then you’ll be presented with a screen looking something like this:
Changing the upload directory is as easy as changing the top field to anything you like – ‘media’ will upload images to yoursite.com/media, ‘images’ will upload images to yoursite.com/images. It’s a really simple to do and look just that much better. I think anyway.
It won’t move anything, only stuff you upload from change onwards.
Useful tip, thanks – but be aware there are still a number of rogue plugins that expect a path similar to “mysite.com/wp-content/plugins/”, so altering your wp-content path might break some plugins. Check your site to make sure.
