To use a NAS as your WordPress media library, you need to mount the NAS directory to your Windows machine where WordPress is running. Map the NAS folder (e.g., //nas1/intranet/media
) to a network drive with a specific drive letter (like Z:
). Once mapped, update your wp-config.php
file to redefine the UPLOADS
constant with the new drive path, like so: define('UPLOADS', 'Z:/media');
. This configuration will direct WordPress to use the network drive for media storage and retrieval, ensuring that it treats the network location as a local directory. Make sure the network drive is reliably connected to your WordPress server to prevent access issues. Best gastro
