Absolutely, Erol! Anytime! I know I am in the minority running WordPress on a Windows Server, but, that’s just what I have to do because I am currently hosting websites for customers (including my own websites) across multiple CMS platforms, mainly DNN (DotNetNuke) and now WordPress. I am slowly but surely getting up to speed with WordPress and may be spinning up a Linux server soon just to host the WordPress sites. I am mainly a DBA on the Microsoft side of the world managing Enterprise scale DBs but I do have some coding experience as well which is why I am not totally oblivious to what goes on behind the scenes with the frameworks required to make these websites work! If you need any help at all testing anything for a Windows Server hosted WordPress site, please do not hesitate to look me up! Thanks again for your great plugin and support! I’m starting up a video site for the dance industry uploading hundreds of videos several GB in size each and uploading outside of the WP site is critical, thus comes the usefulness of your plugin syncing the files with the WP install! Great work, Erol! Bravo! Keep it up!

Boom! That did the trick, Erol. It works like a charm now! I cannot thank you enough. Thank you so much for a great plugin and your great support! Keep up the great work!

Thank you Erol! Yes, I get the FULL path in the meta_value field, not just the .m4v file.

Also, here is what the initial plugin screen shows before I click “Scan Files”

“Use this to see content of upload dir: \wp-content/uploads and import files to Media Library.”

Hope that helps! Let me know anything you need at all to help! Thanks again!

I was also reading this article, Erol. It seems to be a gray area at best.

Hello Erol,

Still no joy. I updated to the latest plugin (1.1.4) and still get the same result. However, my Scan Directory now reports itself as:

\wp-content/uploads\

and the entry in the DB gets populated as:

D:\home\mywebsite.com.com\wp/wp-content/uploads\myvideo.m4v

Oddly enough, the ONLY slash that I have to correct in the DB field is the trailing slash just after “uploads”. Once I make that one change, all is good. I wonder if you could leave off the trailing slash and see if that works?

Thanks so much for your help!

Wow! You are amazing, Erol! Thank you for the quick response and turnaround with a new version! I will get it downloaded, give it a try and report back here shortly. Thanks so much!

FYI, I was editing the wp_postmeta table and the meta_value field using MySQL Workbench. I’m a DBA so I’ve very familiar with editing data directly in DBs.

Thanks again Erol and I will let you know!
