Designate default upload folder

This isn’t a feature in the current version of PowerPress unless you’re importing a podPress feed. The lead developer of PowerPress is checking to see if there’s a way to enable it otherwise.

Thank you Shawn!

I do prefer to FTP my podcast episodes and then just enter the file name in Powerpress, so this setting returning would be ideal.

OK, this is directly from Angelo, the lead developer:

the user can add the following define to their wp-config.php (goes anywhere except belwo the require line at the bottom of the file.
define(‘POWERPRESS_DEFAULT_MEDIA_URL’, true);
then setting will then appear under the episode settings tab, just before the File Size setting.

Hope this takes care of it for you!

Thanks so much for the help!

Unfortunately that hasn’t worked. I don’t see any new settings on the Episodes settings tab.

Hello @amandomino,

Double check that the define is entered into your wp-config.php somewhere near the top. IT has to be above the require/include line that is near the bottom otherwise it will not apply to the site.

The setting is titled “Default Media URL”.

Hi Angelo.

I did move the setting up but that didn’t make a difference. Perhaps I’m still doing something wrong.

Heres’s what my settings look like: https://imgur.com/a/gqk2s

It’s okay if it doesn’t work. I’ll just have to adjust to typing out the url everytime. I was mostly just checking to see if I was going crazy since the setting was in my last wordpress install but not this one.

Hello @amandomino,

I have been reviewing code to see how including the define I mentioned may have failed. I think perhaps it could have been caused by how it was copied from this forum then pasted into your wp-config.php file. This reply I am wrapping the code with a code tag in hopes it copies better and using double quotes.

Please copy the following line and add it near the top of your wp-config.php which is found in the root folder of your WordPress website.

define("POWERPRESS_DEFAULT_MEDIA_URL", true);

IF you have any caching plugins or caching services tied to your web hosting, please clear then.

Once you have the define in place the following setting should appear: https://create.blubrry.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/default_media_url.png

Thanks,
Angelo

Angelo, that worked!

Thank you!
