Bingo!! Thank you so much! I confirm that Relocate Upload 0.13, with the corrections you indicated, is working for me on WP 2.8. Thank you again! * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [Plugin relocate-upload – Not quite working in 2.7](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-relocate-upload-note-quite-working/) * [fn1](https://wordpress.org/support/users/fn1/) * (@fn1) * [16 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-relocate-upload-note-quite-working/page/3/#post-930699) * So sorry about the confusing previous note – I left out a directory level out in the previous explanation. Anyhooow, here’s my update… * Question: Should the RU 0.13 folders be sub-folders of ‘wp-content/uploads/’? I have setup two sub-folders, ‘dir1’ and ‘dir2’, in ‘uploads’ and defined these in the RU 0.13 settings. * I have simplified my setup, viz: * 1) WordPress URL in the WP 2.8 General settings is: `http://mydomain.com/dev/ ddnt` * 2) RU 01.3 Settings `Default Location: /dev/ddnt/wp-content/uploads` `Directory A: /dev/ddnt/wp-content/uploads/dir1/` `Directory B: /dev/ddnt/wp-content/uploads/ dir2/` * 3) Media Library GUI lets me move files from the ‘Default Location’ to ‘Directory A’ or ‘Directory B’ * 4) The Media Library Edit view shows that files I move have updated File URLs: ` http://mydomain.com/dev/ddnt/wp-content/uploads/dir1/file1.jpg` * 5) WP 2.8 _posts Table shows that the GUID is the exact same string as (4). So RU _is_ updating the GUID, and this is being reported correctly in the Media Library Edit view. * 6) Media Library GUI filter “Directory A” returns NO files. Media Library GUI filter “All folders” returns ALL files including ‘file1.jpg’ which is in the RU subfolder ‘dir1’ * thanks again, …fn * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [Plugin relocate-upload – Not quite working in 2.7](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-relocate-upload-note-quite-working/) * [fn1](https://wordpress.org/support/users/fn1/) * (@fn1) * [16 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-relocate-upload-note-quite-working/page/3/#post-930698) * Hi Alan, Thank you for the speedy response. As reported in my initial post “( 2) when I reselect Edit in the Media Library, the File URL reflects the new directory path to the recently moved file.” * I am now re-checking the MySQL _posts table… Ahhh! * OK, so I confirm that the GUID is updated when a file is moved using RU 0.13, and the updated GUID in the MySQL _posts Table matches exactly what is reported in the Media Library Edit GUI’s “File URL” field. And these updated GUIDs do indeed work – connecting to them in a browser displays the media file. * However I defined the RU folders in the RU 01.3 Settings page as _peer_ to wp- content/: * Default Location: /dev/ddnt/wp-content/uploads Directory A: /dev/ddnt/dir1/dir2/ Directory B: /dev/ddnt/dir3/dir4/ * The wordpress URL in the WP 2.8 General settings is: [http://mydomain.com/dev/ddnt](http://mydomain.com/dev/ddnt) * But the GUID entry in the _posts table and displayed in the Media Directory Edit window, both write the URL as if dir1 and dir3 were subfolders _inside_ the wp- contents directory, viz: * [http://mydomain.com/dev/ddnt/wp-content/dir1/dir2/filea.pdf](http://mydomain.com/dev/ddnt/wp-content/dir1/dir2/filea.pdf) [http://mydomain.com/dev/ddnt/wp-content/dir3/dir4/fileb.jpg](http://mydomain.com/dev/ddnt/wp-content/dir3/dir4/fileb.jpg) * And yet these URL strings still work!? Hmm. Is there some URL rewriting going on at my end? Regardless, I’m assuming that I need to move dir1 and dir3 _inside_ wp-content directory. I’m trying that now… * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [Plugin relocate-upload – Not quite working in 2.7](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-relocate-upload-note-quite-working/) * [fn1](https://wordpress.org/support/users/fn1/) * (@fn1) * [16 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-relocate-upload-note-quite-working/page/3/#post-930696) * Alan thank you for sharing your Relocate Upload plugin. It’s almost working for me. * I’m using RU 0.13 and WP 2.8: * 1) I can upload files to the Media Library, Select Edit and successfully ‘move’ them to alternate folders, as configured in Settings -> RU. * 2) When I reselect Edit in the Media Library, the File URL reflects the new directory path to the recently moved file. So far so good! * 3) And yes, I can also delete ‘moved’ files thru the Media Library interface. * However I have not been able to list the ‘moved’ files using the Media Library Filter button. Yes, the alternate folders configured in RU show up in the pop- up next to the ‘Filter’ button in the Media Library. But selecting any value other than ‘All Folders” returns an empty list of files. * So thanks to RU I can now upload files and move them to alternate folders, but I can never list these files in a specific alternate folder. Only if I specify I want to filter on ‘All Folders’, do I get a listing of files. Of course, by specifying a ‘filter’ of ‘All Folders’, I lose the advantage of having multiple folders to organize the Media Library. I can’t list the contents of these Alternate folders. I can only list the contents of all the folders. And yes it works — I see all the files listed including those that have been moved by RU to alternate folders. * Do you have any suggestions as to where I should focus my debugging efforts? Or any information that I could share on this forum to help provide insight into why I can’t list the files in the alternate folders? * thank you! Viewing 4 replies - 1 through 4 (of 4 total)
