 * Afternoon,
 * I’ve been playing with WordPress and trying to move the uploads folder and have
   stumbled upon an issue. I read some guides on the internet and they more or less
   said the same thing so at the VERY BOTTOM of my wp-config.php I added the following:
 *     ```
       /** Sets up WordPress vars and included files. */
       require_once(ABSPATH . 'wp-settings.php');
   
       define('UPLOADS', 'media');
       ```
   
 * I then created a media folder in the root directory and changed the permissions
   to 777 as the guides mentioned. The files now upload here without issue however
   when I do upload files the URL inside of wordpress is still adding it like this
   and causes an issue which breaks them.
 * `https://domain.co.uk/wp-content/uploads//home/neco/public_html/media/dark-logo.
   png`
 * The above is adding in /wp-content/uploads//home/neco/public_html/ when it should
   not do that. Have I messed up on the define I mentioned above or is there more
   to do?
 * I have altered the domain name and the neco is the cPanel name. I’m also using
   SSL if it is causing any issues.
 * Thanks,
    Rob

 * Try adding the define just before this:
 *     ```
       /** Sets up WordPress vars and included files. */
       require_once(ABSPATH . 'wp-settings.php');
       ```
