   Is there a way to change the uploadpath from the default value of wp_content/upload

   to a directory above wp?

   as in file structure is as follows

   /html/blog/with all wp files (relfects domain.tld/blog/)

   I would like to put abload folder in

   /html/uploads

   ist that possible?

   Moin moin!

   There is a esay way to solute the problem. Change the presets in the admin section. In german it called...

   Einstellungen -> Verschiedenes:
   'Uploads in folgendem Ordner speichern' [../mediathek]
   'Kompletter Pfad zu den Dateien' [http://www.realtimespacelab.com/mediathek]

   So if you use '/wordpress' as a subdir it will be possible to use '/mediathek' as an Imagefolder.

   Chartinael, Did you ever figure this out?

   I've tried pro.sec's solution (../img), but WordPress doesn't like that either and in the media gallery shows the url as: http://www.domain.com/wordpress/../img/content/2010/07/test-image.jpg. Apparently it takes the ../ literally!

   I figured it out. You have to set both and that took a little bit to figure it out. Here's what I did, in case it helps anyone else:

   Settings > Media > Uploads:
   Store uploads in this folder: ../img/
   Full URL path to files: http://www.domain.com/img/
