 * Hi
 * I am using hide my wordpress, and have a custom path for the upload folder e.
   g. example.com/file
 * /file is used instead of /wp-content/uploads.
 * Please advise if there is a way to configure it based on /file.
 * Thank you.

 * Hello, my friend,
 * I am afraid that this is the one single case where it is not possible for the
   plugin to work. Could you send me the link to the website to check how the image
   urls appear in the HTML code and make sure?
 * Cheers,

 * Hi Takis,
 * Thanks for the update. Here is the short url – [http://goo.gl/NZSJEn](http://goo.gl/NZSJEn)
 * I may have not explained in full. Hide my wordpress plugin only rewrites so that/
   wp-content/uploads looks like /file. The images are still stores under /wp-content/
   uploads
 * Currently for your plugin to work, I have entered the normal uploads path i.e./
   wp-content/uploads. I need to know if its possible to change the code somwhere
   so it looks like the image path is /file
 * Thanks for your guidance.

 * Hello, Sheena,
 * I think the rewrite that the “Hide my WordPress” plugin created will not work
   with my plugin. This is because my plugin needs to take the requesting url and
   translate it to an identical path inside the WordPress installation. So if the
   requesting url is changed then my plugin will be -sort of- tricked and will not
   find the images to serve. I would like to see this confirmed in practice, but
   I am quite sure this is what will happen.
 * I am so sorry about that! 🙁
 * I wish there was something I can do, but right now I can only promise to consider
   adding such an option in a future release.
 * Cheers,
    Takis

 * ευχαριστώ Takis for the explanation. I will keep it with the default path for
   it to work which is more important. Though, kindly consider it in the future 
   for custom image path.
 * Have a great weekend in “Athens”
