• I am migrating multiple installs of WordPress to a single multisite install, and realized that one of the blogs upload to the old location instead of the new master wp-content/uploads folder.

    But the Media settings screen doesn’t have the upload folder settings.

    How can I change the upload folder in multisite?

    It’s in the site settings. Go into wp-admin/network and click on sites. Then click on edit for the site you want to edit. You should be able to change it in there.

    Indeed. Thanks! But that site setting screen is long and scary looking, and I know some of the settings are available in the regular site admin GUI — so I didn’t think to look there. Is there a reason why that setting is not available in the media settings for each site? Perhaps put it back in the future version?

    Because as the users of sub sites may NOT have access to make their new image upload folder, it’s ‘better’ (easier?) to force them to use a predetermined location.

    They SHOULD be all going to wp-content/blogs.dir/#/files though, where # is the same as their site number. Keeps em organized and out of each others way. You should never be using ONE folder for all your sites.

    one of the blogs upload to the old location instead of the new master wp-content/uploads folder.

    Only the main blog will use the /uploads folder. All the sub site will be rewritten.

    If you’re using the import button, your files will be plunked in the new, appropriate spot. You *can* change the links in the posts.

    So that’s an alternative to changing the uploads folder for one site. (which I really need to test).
