WordPress.org

WordPress allow you to put uploads in year- and month-based folders. Custom Upload Dir is somewhat smarter. You can construct paths from variables like post title, category, post author, post date and many more.

I created Custom Upload Dir ensure my file system is always mirroring the site structure. This ensures I can always find files manually when needed. It also simplifies backups and plattform migrations.

The screenshots might help explain.

If you value my plugins, please help me out by Flattr-ing them! Or perhaps send me a book? Used ones are fine! :)
