Hi Takayuki,

We are also having this problem. I understand your explanation that the plugin won’t work in a symbolically linked directory.

However many people set up wordpress to have the program in one directory and the user data on a different partition in a different directory.

Linking the “wp-content” directory is how this is achieved. Many other plugins support linking. Can you help us fix this problem?

We’ll work together if you help us. Thank you!

Ok, I found a plugin called “Add from server” which allows me to add files from the server to the media library! Thank you for this plugin!

Yes, please! Tell us how you “took care of it”. I have a whole set of files I’d like not to have to re-upload (they are from a conversion and already in the uploads directory under their proper year and month). Is there any automagic way to populate the media library db from the files that are not currently registered there?

Seems like there must be something… although I’ve seen a few posts and people have mentioned fixing it and getting around it, but they never seem to leave their methods for a clueless blogger like me!

Help!
