    This is the error message I get when activating:

    Error: Unable to create upload storage directory. Please verify write permissions to the designated WordPress uploads directory. Front End Upload has been deactivated.

    I think the reason may be because of I’m using another folder to uploads. There should be an option to select a upload folder instead of in wp-content/uploads folder.

    It likely is, the plugin checks with WP to see where the base uploads folder is and attempts to create storage within that. I’ll add it as an option in an upcoming release.

    Hey sarangan112, I think I may have the answer for you.

    If you check lines 37 & 38 in front-end-upload.php you can edit these lines:

    37: define( ‘FEU_DESTINATION_DIR’, ABSPATH . ‘/Your-Directory-Path/’ );
    38: define( ‘FEU_DESTINATION_URL’, get_bloginfo( ‘url’ ) . ‘/Your-Directory-Path/’ );

    let me know if that helps.

    If all of the files go to the uploads directory, it doesn’t seem like it would work for multisite. The files should go under the directory for the individual site.

    Write permissions are required. You can customize the destination directory in the Pro version. Multisite rules have been added as well. Marking this ticket as resolved.
