Uploading Folder Settings Lost in 2.6 upgrade

I’m also having the same problem. I’m trying to setup a photoblog and wanted to use wp-content\Photos.

Files are uploading to the right folder, but the editor still makes links to wp-content\uploads.

The media library appears to see the files, but won’t show them.

I’ve also tried putting in the full URL path to the files with no effect.

This could be caused by Yahoo being my host, as a lots of other problems are. (Not my fault! Yahoo was a recommend host by WordPress at the time! How was I to know better! ??

I have same problem (explained here https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/189712?replies=1 )

I have the same problem. !!

On the Settings->Misc screen, if you have the custom directory filled in for uploads, then you also need to fill in the “Optional” field below it with the URL to that custom directory.

So if you have /wp-content/resources in the top box, then you need to put in https://example.com/wp-content/resources in the bottom box.

The field explanation probably needs some work, but either both boxes must be filled in or both must be blank.

Thanks Otto, that worked for me. Unless this is just a bug, “optional” needs to be removed from this field.
