    Hello,

    I tried to change the location for new media uploads but can’t seem to get it right (keep on getting broken links)

    WordPress is installed on a subdomain

    SiteURL: sv.com
    Wordpress installation: sv.com/new
    Images URL: images.sv.com

    I got all my old images working properly but I can’t upload any new images.

    What information should be in field 1 in the settings?

    I already tried making it blank (wp/content/uploads) but that did not seem to work.

    Any ideas?

    Hi @rastalamm

    The first thing to know is: we need the WordPress can handle the files to the same directory.

    Usually when people have a problem with the new images is that the first field is entered incorrectly.
    We need the field reflects the directory path to the uploads folder.
    Usually you can test it by simply uploading an image. Then, log in to see FTP or WordPress has created a folder.

    After deduction you should find your way easily.

    Hey @rvola,

    What am I supposed to enter in the first field?

    I tried the below:
    Leaving it blank
    Entering: wp-content/uploads
    Entering: images.sv.com
    Entering: images.sv.com/new

    Nothing above worked. After each change and new photo upload the thumbnail was still not working and no new folders were created on the server.

    What I am trying to do is have all new uploads be uploaded directly to my subdomain.

    Please let me know

    Thanks,
    Judah

    Your-Will subdomain in the same place as your main server or VHOST?

    The plug-in does not move “really” the images to a new server.
    He does believe in WordPress a new subdomain.

    Yes. The subdomain is on the same server.

    The file structure is such:

    public_html/images = subdomain
    public_html/sv = original WP installation

    I would like to know what information needs to be placed in field 1, so that I can start uploading photos via my media library again.

    The plugin sets the new location for the images to be uploaded to. I would like to know how to set it so the images upload to http://images.sv.com/media

    the images folder must be necessarily at the same level as WordPress.

    For example:
    My website: http://www.domain.com
    wordpress path: public_html /

    I create a subdomain: http://media.domain.com that points to the public_html / wp-content / uploads of http://www.domain.com eg

    In the plugin I set the first field: wp-content / uploads
    the second: http://media.domain.com

    This example does not match your request, but allows you to understand the mechanics …

    Another example:

    I want my pictures to be in the “toto” located in the “media” have the root of my WordPress server.
    My website: http://www.domain.com
    wordpress path: public_html /

    I create a sub domain that points in the public_html folder / media / foo

    In the plugin:
    1 field: media / foo
    2: field http://media.domain.com

    Always base the field 1 relative to WordPress.

    So I am not sure I understand what you are saying..

    I tried this, but it did not work:

    SiteURL: sv.com
    Wordpress installation:public_html/new/wp-content
    Wordpress location: sv.com/new
    Images URL: images.sv.com
    Images location: public_html/images

    Field 1: images/media – (media is anew folder I created manually)
    Field 2: http://images.sv.com

    I all of my old images are correctly working (I moved the entire wp-content/uploads folder to the /images folder.

    When I upload a new photo, it is not working. It does not go to images/media

    ok now the settings are correct.
    Your mistake was to put the URL from the front …
    I wanted the URL or is WordPress.

    I did a test, which has not uploaded.
    We must now look at the rights and well put CHMOD 755

    Hey There..

    So the settings are correct?

    As of now, when I upload an image, I am getting a broken link in the Media Library….

    What should the rights be? All of my folders relating to this are 755.

    Facing exact same problem like “Rastalamm” . I am on latest version of WordPress 4.1.2

    My website is say “domain.com” and fully hosted subdomain is “multimedia.domain.com”. The value in “Store uploads in this folder” is “images” and “Full URL path to files” is “http://multimedia.domain.com/images”

    The permissions on “images” folder are set to “rwxr-xr-x or 0755”

    Now all images appear broken in thumbnail and when i select the image in media gallery and click on edit –> Edit Image then only the preview is visible. However if I directly try to access the uploaded image say “file1.jpg” in the browser by using the link “http://www.multimedia.domain.com/images/file1.jpg” then I get “404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.”

    Request to please assist.

    Thanks in advance,
    Kiran

    Hey Kiran..

    It sounds like the images on your webpages are not loading?

    If so, you need to change the URL’s that are calling them. Please try following the instructions here:

    http://www.oxhow.com/host-images-wordpress-blog-subdomain-better-speed/

    1. You need to make sure your images are actually in the subdomain located in your server.
    2. The images being properly called in each webpage.

    3. (the problem I am having) your image upload location is in your subdomain.

    Hope that helps!

    Actually I am hosting on DreamHost and and the snapshots provided in the blog link are probably from some other provider. When I create a subdomain in DreamHost control panel then I dont see the option of setting the Document root πŸ™

    Also when I tried to FTP to the subdomain in the “images” folder, I dont see any image being uploaded (Although the thumbnail is displayed in edit image)

    I have spent really lot of time on this and still dont want to give up.
