Title: Set path does not exist Last modified: September 7, 2020 --- # Set path does not exist * [perchera](https://wordpress.org/support/users/perchera/) * (@perchera) * [5 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/set-path-does-not-exist-2/) * Unable to set any path, it will always say “error, set path does not exist”. * As explained in the support thread, i am not sure if the path must ben in wp- content/uploads/yourfolder o anywhere else (/your folder or /uploads/yourfolders for example). * Every path i tried (and they do exist) will throw the same error: set path does not exist * I hope this can be solved Regards - This topic was modified 5 years, 8 months ago by [perchera](https://wordpress.org/support/users/perchera/).

You cannot list folders outside WP Upload folder. * As you correctly pointed out in support forum the example “/wp-content/yourfolder” is wrong now and I will change it with the next update. It is an old text from plugin’s older version that allowed users to list any folders from the FTP without limitations. This was a security risk and in order to be able to post the plugin to WordPress Repository I had to limit the listing to WP Upload folder only. * In case you need to list folders outside the WP Upload folder this plugin is not for you and you would have to find a plugin outside official WordPress Repository, build one yourself or modify this one. * Thread Starter [perchera](https://wordpress.org/support/users/perchera/) * (@perchera) * [5 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/set-path-does-not-exist-2/#post-13373453) * Thank you for your reply jakeob. * It’s a pity. I never liked the wp-content/uploads location for my media files and that’s why i use /uploads (or /media or /images…) instead. * Again thank you * Plugin Author [jakeob](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jakeob/) * (@jakeob) * [5 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/set-path-does-not-exist-2/#post-13373478) * A little tip – if you register your custom upload folder as official WP Upload folder path (basically rewrite destination of WP Upload folder), you **probably should** be able to use the plugin since I am using the inbuilt wp_upload_dir() function. I havent tested this tho. * I released a new version today, with the correct example. Thank you for letting me know that it was wrong. * Thread Starter [perchera](https://wordpress.org/support/users/perchera/) * (@perchera) * [5 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/set-path-does-not-exist-2/#post-13375043) * Argh, my custom folder seems to be (official?) path in my wordpress, i mean, media library, plugins etc are there by default. * I’ve read a lot about the wp_upload_dir function but i do not dare to mess with my functions files. * Wp-config is already set to that custom folder, i guess i have to do sth else but as said i don’t dare to. * Just thinking aloud, not asking your for directions to do it 😉 * [massimosentuti](https://wordpress.org/support/users/massimosentuti/) * (@massimosentuti) * [5 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/set-path-does-not-exist-2/#post-13888034) * I really appreciated your plugin, however in order to make it perfect for my needs I need to change the style of the icons, I followed your explanation but I find it very difficult to find the files to modify and how. I’m not very experienced in wordpress. * Plugin Author [jakeob](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jakeob/) * (@jakeob) * [5 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/set-path-does-not-exist-2/#post-13888322) * There are no icon files to modify. Icons are added directly to classes as background url in base64. Therefore you need to override these classes background url. * For example basic folder icon is class is .folder-icon and to override it you can do something like this: .folder-icon { background: url(your-base64-image- here) !important; } * You can convert images to base64 for example here: [https://www.base64-image.de/](https://www.base64-image.de/) Viewing 6 replies - 1 through 6 (of 6 total) The topic ‘Set path does not exist’ is closed to new replies. * ![](https://s.w.org/plugins/geopattern-icon/simple-ftp-directory-lister.svg) * [Simple FTP Directory Lister](https://wordpress.org/plugins/simple-ftp-directory-lister/) * [Frequently Asked Questions](https://wordpress.org/plugins/simple-ftp-directory-lister/#faq) * [Support Threads](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/simple-ftp-directory-lister/) * [Active Topics](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/simple-ftp-directory-lister/active/) * [Unresolved Topics](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/simple-ftp-directory-lister/unresolved/) * [Reviews](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/simple-ftp-directory-lister/reviews/) * 6 replies * 3 participants * Last reply from: [jakeob](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jakeob/) * Last activity: [5 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/set-path-does-not-exist-2/#post-13888322)
