# Start upload folder

 * I changed the startup directory for uploading – in wp-config.php add line
    `define('
   UPLOADS', 'wp-content/uploads/images');` But MLP is still uses directory ‘uploads’
   for start, instead of the ‘uploads/images’. I need to hide ‘uploads’. How to 
   fix?
 * P.S. Sory for my English.

 * Error is still present.
    Home directory is true – ‘image’ (‘uploader/image’),
   and not ‘uploader’. But inside the duplicate folder ‘image’. When you try to 
   download an image to duplicate folder – error:

 * wp-content/uploads/images/**images/** – wrong
    `wp-content/uploads/images/` –
   right
 * How to fix?

 * alex_a_k,
 * It would be best to change the location of the uploads folder before uploading
   any images and before installing media library plus.

 * I reset seting, uninstal the plugin, change the folder, install again.
    The result
   is the same.

 * While I manually deleted via phpmyadmin record of that folder in the table _mgmlp_folders.

 * The first thing to do is insure that you do not have any images in your media
   library in the old location, because you Media Library Plus will scan the location
   of items according to what is stored in your database.
 * To reset Media Library Plus I hope you deactivated Media Library Plus, ran Media
   Library Plus Reset which is included with the plugin and then reactivated Media
   Library Plus, which should then recognize the new uploads folder location.

 * Maybe it is so.
    But now I can not verify this. Lots of files uploaded.

 * I would not be changing the location of the uploads folder after I have upload
   files to the old uploads folder location. As far as I know, specifing define(‘
   UPLOADS’, ‘wp-content/uploads/images’); in your wp-config.php does not automatically
   move your files to the new folder or change their location in the database.

 * I move files via ftp and replaced the url in the mysql database.
    The main problem–
   a double ‘image’ folder in the starting ‘image’ folder.
