 * I want to have my upload folder inside the download folder so that users can 
   also download what other users upload.
 * i have triple checked my directory names & path but something keeps getting in
   the way because the upload shortcode output :
    **File Up Admin Notice: The initial
   directory specified does not exist: /wp-content/uploads/downloads/uploads
 * see it live here : [http://www.stop-ttip-ceta-tisa.eu/en/downloads-2/upload-4/](http://www.stop-ttip-ceta-tisa.eu/en/downloads-2/upload-4/)
 * site root directory is enabled (if i choose WP install directory, download shortcode
   is showing up)
 * base dir 1 /wp-content/uploads/downloads
    base dir 2 : /wp-content/uploads/downloads/
   uploads
 * download is working fine : [http://www.stop-ttip-ceta-tisa.eu/en/downloads-2/](http://www.stop-ttip-ceta-tisa.eu/en/downloads-2/)
 * my problem is with upload : [http://www.stop-ttip-ceta-tisa.eu/en/downloads-2/upload-4/](http://www.stop-ttip-ceta-tisa.eu/en/downloads-2/upload-4/)
 * i’m probably missing something obvious, can you help me get it working ?

 * Is your Site URL the same or different from your WordPress URL on the WordPress
   Admin General > Settings page?

 * it is exactly the same;..only thing that perhaps is source of the issue is that
   we are using WPML? could that be a problem?
 * this website is at the root of the server hence my site URL is [http://www.stop-ttip-ceta-tisa.eu/](http://www.stop-ttip-ceta-tisa.eu/)
