Upload Url and Path Enabler

Tiny, but great tool!

I wonder why wordpress do not have already this option, it is a great plugin!

The easiest and fastest way to change the upload folders in a blink without messing around with the config file or even phpmyadmin.

Meanwhile an old but still a flawlessly working plugin.

Modifies the paths of all existing uploads making them unusable.

I tried the wp-config.php

define('UPLOADS', 'wp-content/example');

trick and, while it did save new uploads to the desired folder, images/thumbs were not available, because in media library the new path was concatenated onto the original path — the new path as shown was wrong anyway (slashes got removed), so it wouldn’t have worked regardless.

I also tried a different plugin to change/hide URLs and protect the wp site from anonymous direct access to files, which means it allowed for changing default paths. That didn’t work, but this simple one does.

Thanks!
