Hi, In january I put the plugin and it was working fine,
This is the shortcode I used to display pdf

[MMFileList folder=”/documentation/” format=”li (unordered list)”]

But it seems that the folder updates every month and I’m stuck with this error message:
The folder “/home/mysite/domains/mysite.fi/public_html/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/documentation” was not found at: “http://www.mysite.fi/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/documentation”.

I have tried to detail the path even more /wp-content/uploads/2018/01/documentation but it still give the same error structure:
was not found at: “http://www.mysite.fi/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/documentation”.

So of course it wasn’t found, it doesn’t exist that one, but I can’t get rid of the 05 for this monththat is added automatically.

Thanks for your help,

the code utilizes wp_upload_dir() (which is called in line 52: $baseDir = wp_upload_dir();) which changes with the year/month, unless you uncheck the uploads_use_yearmonth_folders setting in the administration panel (which I read on dev.wp, but have no idea if its true or not)

while i have only just installed this plug in today, i faced the same issue as you as i wanted to read from a folder (memos; which in itself contains subfolders divided into years) in wp-content/uploads, and not in the year/month folders.

be warned.. do this at your own risk..
comment out line 53/54
```
        
//$dir = $baseDir['path'] . '/' . $folder;
//$outputDir = $baseDir['url'] . '/' . $folder; //ex. http://example.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/../../cats' 
```
in it’s place,
```
$dir = $folder;
$url = home_url();
$outputDir = $url . '/' . $folder;
```
if my understanding is correct, I am no longer using the default upload directory (wp_upload_dir).

Original $dir appends the directory you are pointing to, to the wp default upload directory.
$outputDir also uses the same default folder, so in it’s place, I have set it to read from the url + directory being pointed to ..

in your case, your shortcode would be
[MMFileList folder= "wp-content/uploads/2018/01/documentation/" ...

again, i must reiterate this, as I have not fully read thru the entire code..
DO AT YOUR OWN RISK..

Additionally, after reading the description page of the plug in ..

Usage Examples:

Let’s say you’re using the default WordPress Media settings so we can expect your uploads folder to be in /wp-content/uploads/mm/yy/ with this in mind the shortcode “folder” attribute will look in a directory relative to this. With this base directory say we want to list “png” files in the folder “/wp-content/uploads/cats/” we would use the following shortcode:

[MMFileList folder=”/../../cats/” format=”table” types=”png” /]

If you have you disabled the setting to store uploads in the /mm/yy/ folder structure (you can do this within Settings -> Media) and wanted to display that same file you would use this shortcode:

[MMFileList folder=”/cats/” format=”table” types=”png” /]

This will result in a tabular list of all .png files in the /wp-content/uploads/cats/ folder.
