 * Found it! I didn’t realize ABSPATH was the path to WP. When I replaced that with
   $_SERVER[‘DOCUMENT_ROOT’] it works and I don’t even have to set anything in the
   config file:
 * `function wp_upload_dir() {
    $siteurl = get_settings('home'); $path = get_settings('
   upload_path'); $dir = trailingslashit($_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT']) . $path; $url
   = trailingslashit($siteurl) . $path;

 * I’ve found if I hardcode the desired directory path into functions-post it works.
   Naturally, this isn’t an ideal method since I’d like to just change the config
   file for each client rather than hack the include file.

 * I tried that I’m afraid. Images still go into the WP directory in whatever subfolder
   I specified.
 * If I don’t change functions-post to use the “home” reference instead of the “
   siteurl” reference, anything I put in the config file gets tacked onto the end
   of [http://www.mysite.com/wp](http://www.mysite.com/wp) ([http://www.mysite.com/wp/](http://www.mysite.com/wp/)../
   images/filename.jpg for your example) and gets uploaded within the wp directory.
 * I can’t find a method that will get me to [http://www.mysite.com/_media](http://www.mysite.com/_media)
   that ACTUALLY uploads the file to that folder. WP creates the correct url that
   gets used when I add the image to a post but doesn’t actually upload the file
   and I don’t get an error to tell me what the problem is.
 * None of my site’s content files are in the WP directory because I’m using it 
   as a CMS, not using the templates. I’d like ALL the site files to reside outside
   the WP directory just as a matter of consistency and to make it easy to upgrade
   without accidentally deleting my uploaded files.

 * i have 2.0 where that isn’t possible. I just discovered that 2.02 fixes the upload
   feature so now I need to carefully update to get it. thanks!

 * why would they remove the option of changing where the files get uploaded to?
   That stinks. I don’t want uploaded files to go into the wp space when I’m using
   it as a content management system that doesn’t use WP templates and such. I want
   images and media files to go into my main site directory space. Guess I have 
   to hack the admin files and I don’t like doing that because I’ll have to remember
   where the hack is for the next client and so on. Please give us back control 
   over where uploaded files go and ideally, I would like to specify different folders
   in the upload form so I can segment by pictures, video, etc.

 * I guess I could go on the template system just for Videos, make a category-7.
   php template and use an if (is_category (7) ) statement to serve a special single_video.
   php page for single video pages. Is this what you mean? Sure would be easier 
   if I could just get the post from the url variable and keep reusing the same 
   main page. I suppose if I knew MySQL better I could extract the data from the
   database without WP.

 * I need this functionality, too. I want to be able to have several people screen
   all comments and get notified/approve other’s posts on one blog. I think the 
   administrator should be able to delegate maintenance tasks so you can keep the
   blog running while you are unavailable to moderate. Setting up a special admin
   email acccount that’s forwarded to several people is a partial solution but not
   a good one for those with limited domain control.

 * I found a conflict with the function make_clickable in the phpBB file “includes/
   bbcode.php”. I think all it does is identify when someone writes a url and makes
   it clickable. Apparently, WP has the same function. I didn’t need it in my message
   board so I commented it out, rather than renaming it and finding where it’s called.
   I also found a conflict with the board’s User Groups (something about a member
   object) so I commented out that link in the overall_header.tpl. Kind of slapdash
   I know, but as long as I don’t need the functions, it was the easiest thing to
   do so I could use my site’s header include with a menu managed by WP inside my
   message board’s template.
