  • Where does WP keep uploaded images. I’m trying to migrate a WP site to a new location.

    I have a new install and i have most of the files from the original site. I need to ftp the images to the new location. So I need to know where WP keeps files in the media library Where / what is the folder?

    You upload folder should be at /wp-content/uploads/

    Interesting… I had uploaded a file just so I would know I had found the right folder. And it showed up in the folder you suggested. So I’m thinking cool we’re good to go and I ftp the rest of the images to that folder but when I go to Media library there is only the image that I uploaded with the uploader.

    Am I going to have to add each and every one of these images 1 by 1 using the uploader?

    Yeah about that…

    The way media works in WordPress is not so much by reading the contents of the uploads folder but by creating the file link when it does so.

    There is a plugin which may help: https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/add-from-server/
