Upload after Media Library Folders has checked folders:

New folder created on the fly so not yet checked by Media Library Folders:

Even if I get this error, the file is correctly uploaded and if I close the Media Library popup and reopen it, I can select the file and attach it to the post.

To change the upload folder I use “upload_dir” hook the function is this one:

function change_upload_dir( $param ) {
  $request = array_change_key_case( $_REQUEST, CASE_LOWER );

  if ( isset($request['post_id']) )
    $post_id = $request['post_id'];
  else
    $post_id = $request['post'];

  $brand = get_post( get_field('relations', $post_id )['brand'][0] )->post_name;
  $path = '/risorse/' . $brand;
  $param['path'] = $param['basedir'] . $path;
  $param['url'] = $param['baseurl'] . $path;
  $param['subdir'] = $path;

  return $param;
}

Is there away to force check folders with a hook in your plugin or something similar?

I hope I explained enough my problem…

Thank you

I am using Nextgen gallery plugin on a multisite network.

One of my custom plug-ins uses this code :

// Forcing all sub-domains to use the same uploads folder
if( !function_exists( 'no_uploads_subfolders' ) ){
	function no_uploads_subfolders( $dirs ) {
		$dirs['baseurl'] = network_site_url( '/wp-content/uploads' );
		$dirs['basedir'] = ABSPATH . 'wp-content/uploads';
		$dirs['path'] = $dirs['basedir'] . $dirs['subdir'];
		$dirs['url'] = $dirs['baseurl'] . $dirs['subdir'];

		return $dirs;
	}
}
add_filter( 'upload_dir', 'no_uploads_subfolders' );

However, when I upload an image in NextGen gallery, the resulting file is saved at /wp-content/uploads/site/2/nggallery instead of /wp-content/uploads/nggallery as I would like to.

Could you please help me force this plugin to use the root folder, as I share images and galleries accross multiple sites ?

Thank you very much !

By the way : I am using it on a staging website and therefore won’t have any public URL to share, sorry.

I want to upload files to an additional upload folder. All files with ‘canada’ in their name.

I use upload_dir to create a custom upload folder:

function custom_upload_dir( $custom_dir ) {
	$dir = WP_CONTENT_DIR . '/userfiles';
	$url = WP_CONTENT_URL . '/userfiles';

	$bdir = $dir;
	$burl = $url;

	$custom_dir = array(
		'path'    => $dir,
		'url'     => $url,
		'basedir' => $bdir,
		'baseurl' => $burl,
		'error'   => false,
	);
	return $custom_dir;
}
add_filter( 'upload_dir', 'custom_upload_dir' );

Now all uploaded files are listed in the userfiles directory.

So I thought including this does the trick:

$mystring = $_SERVER["REQUEST_URI"];
$findme = 'canada';
$pos = strpos($mystring, $findme);

if ($pos === true) {

But no!

I notice this in codex:

Using this, in conjunction with the wp_handle_upload_prefilter, you can dynamically determine which directory to upload to, based on the files you upload.

But, how can I do that?

Im trying to change the path in which images are uploaded through my ACF custom field. I was able to add a folder within the “/wp-content/uploads” folder and upload to that, but what i really want is to redirect the upload path to a folder outside “uploads”. Is it possible to change the ‘basedir’ and ‘baseurl’ to something like “/wp-content/stuff/uploaded_stuff” for example? Below is the function im currently using to redirect the specific ACF uploader.

add_filter(‘acf/upload_prefilter/name=custom_field_name', 'field_name_upload_prefilter');
function field_name_upload_prefilter($errors) {
  // in this filter we add a WP filter that alters the upload path
  add_filter('upload_dir', 'field_name_upload_dir');
  return $errors;
}
// second filter
function field_name_upload_dir($uploads) {
  // here is where we later the path
  $uploads['path'] = $uploads[‘basedir’].’/unique_upload_folder’;
  $uploads['url'] = $uploads['baseurl'].'/unique_upload_folder';
  $uploads['subdir'] = '';
  return $uploads;
}

Thanks in advance!

I’m developing a plugin that hooks into the upload_dir filter: it creates a custom upload folder in folder wp-content.

But how can I delete whole folder again, when uninstalling plugin? I would like to add this in my uninstall.php.

The problem I am facing is that each document may be uploaded to different location, lets say the location is specified on the fly from somewhere ( I am using api so I get the location and file in the API POST request).

upload_dir filter helps in changing upload_dir if it is already known, however, in my case, I won’t know in advance the location to upload files.

Is there some way I can pass destination path to the upload_dir filter which is only changed for my plugin and not globally?

something like following?

public function _change_upload_directory($dirs, $location)
    {
        $dirs['subdir'] = $location;
        $dirs['path'] = $dirs['basedir'] . $location;
        $dirs['url'] = $dirs['baseurl'] . $location;
        return $dirs;
    }
    // somewhere in the code I pass the destination to upload document
    add_filter( 'upload_dir', [ $this, '_change_upload_directory'], 'directory1/directory2');

If I put into page or post this code:
<?php $upload_dir = wp_upload_dir(); echo $upload_dir['baseurl']; ?>
it is not working.

Could everyone shortcode for upload folder base url?
