Can I Create an Image Folder?
-
I’m starting a new website (using Twenty Twelve theme) and would like to have a dedicated Images folder outside the theme or even at root. For previous websites I’ve used FTP to load images and intend to do so with my new site. I know that the Uploads folder is where WP stores media, but I would like a more streamlined linking system…

Is there a way for me to do this? And if so, how do I set permissions on the folder?
I’ve searched the forums and the web, but haven’t found quite what I need. Thanks to anyone who can help. Also, this forum seemed the best fit for my question, but if I’ve chosen the wrong place, my apologies.

Thanks for getting back to me so quickly, James. Does this mean I can move the uploads folder out of the wp-content file? In other words, can I do this”

I appreciate your patience. I’m “self taught” (ie, I tap the knowledge base of more knowledgeable WP folks) so am a bit shaky on this kind of detail.
Thanks James! I’ll be posting static images on my website. I was a little concerned that if sometime in future I change themes, I might then have some headaches maintaining internal image links, thus my thinking that an images folder at a higher level might make sense.
It’s great to have such knowledgeable folks willing to help a newbie like me. Maybe I can return the favor someday to others.
Thanks folks.
