I have recently moved an install or WP from a directory (2010) to the root. I went to the settings -> misc. to change the upload directory from "/2010/wp-content/uploads" to "wp-content/uploads..."
Now when I go to post and upload a file to my media library it still goes to "/2010/wp-content/2010/3..."
I know I only made it more confusing by choosing 2010 as my install, but it is what it is.
Why don't I just use the dir. that it going to? Good question, its because the plug-in TimThumb only wants to recognize the images from a custom field that came from the media upload. Which is supposed to be from the root.
Any help would be great.
