Filing System

    Hi All!

    I have been wondering how WordPress’ filing system works. While I was looking around my server, I found all the folders that the images (and maybe even .PDFs) were saved to. There were hundreds of folders all corresponding to each site that was created in my multi-site network. In each file, there were folders named from 1 through 12 symbolizing the months that the images therein were uploaded.

    All this to say, I came into managing this network after about 700 sites were created. Is there an easier way to know which site corresponds to the array of folders I have on my server?

    wp-content/uploads is where you found in the folders in question and is simply used as a place to store any images. However, each site has a media library, controlled via the database, which links that specific site to the images it uses. So, yes, images uploaded in January, on any of your sites, will all be stores in the 01 folder. However, only the relevant sites will then show the image in their library.

    As for a “better way”, I don’t know what you’re actually looking for.
