    Hello there,

    I creating a form using various ACF fields.

    For the “file” field, I want to customize the folder location for each of the file fields.

    I have 3 scenarios:

    1. Simple file upload field with name file1 – should be located to wp-content/uploads/simple-files
    2. File field with the group field – should be located to wp-content/uploads/groups
      Field Structure: Group 1 -> File 1 AND Field Path: uploads/groups/group1
      Field Structure: Group 1 -> File 1 AND Field Path: uploads/groups/group1
    3. File field with group field and the repeater field – should be located to wp-content/uploads/group-repeat
      Field Structure: Group 1-> Repeater -> File 1 AND Field Path: uploads/groups/group-repeat/repeater1/file1
      Field Structure: Group 1-> Repeater -> File 2 AND Field Path: uploads/groups/group-repeat/repeater1/file2

    Please help he understand how I can achieve this using ACF hooks.

  • Hi there!

    ACF Support Team here, Thanks for reaching out with your query we would be happy to assist

    In order to change the upload folder, you could hook into the acf/upload_prefilter hook as shown below:

    function my_acf_upload_prefilter( $errors, $file, $field ) {

add_filter('upload_dir', 'my_upload_directory');

return $errors;

}

add_filter('acf/upload_prefilter/name=acf_field_name', 'my_acf_upload_prefilter');

function my_upload_directory( $param ){

$mydir = '/custom-field';

$param['path'] = $param['basedir'] . $mydir;

$param['url'] = $param['baseurl'] . $mydir;

return $param;

}
