“Organise my uploads into month- and year-based folders”

  • Do you have “Organise my uploads into month- and year-based folders” turned off?

    Annoying to whom? The browser that displays the image?

    Users don’t see image URLs… and browsers couldn’t care the least what URL pattern you use as long as it’s valid.

    If you find it annoying, then choose whatever you prefer.

    It’s personal preference, if you find it annoying then turn it off.

    Some people use it to maybe find images when logged in using sftp or ssh.

    Your images should be named properly anyway, and use the search tool in the Media Library to find your images.

    @gappiah @corrinarusso Do you know if the folder Uploads can support having stored thousands of images that are not sorted in subfolders?

    And will it eventually slow down my front-end?

    I dont like customers/users having the possibility to see when the content image was uploaded.

    Thanks in advance ??

    Do you know if the folder?Uploads?can support having stored thousands of images that are not sorted in subfolders?

    Sure. This has nothing to do with WordPress. The images are stored on your hosting server. If you have enough disk space in your hosting account then it makes no difference.

    And will it eventually slow down my front-end?

    No.

    That’s fine. That’s a business decision, not a technical decision.

    Well, if there are *too many* files in one folder, you may run into operating system constraints (i.e., number of inodes) so it’s best you ask your host about this. Remember that each image you upload results in at least 4 and maybe more files.

    If the only issue is not revealing when a file was uploaded, you can change the pattern used for files with some custom code. It involves the ‘upload_dir’ filter or I can write that for you.
