 * I am trying to import photos from a backup of a wordpress website of mine. I 
   saved the the wp-upload/media/ folder, and now I want to upload the photos to
   the new website with the same structure as the original, so the posts will be
   able to find the pictures.
    The folder structure is the default wordpress upload
   structure: uploads/2015/09/image.jpg
 * I copied the “2015” folder to wp-uploads/media/ in ftp. I am facing a problem
   when running your plugin, that it is using todays date in the file structure 
   instead of using the date of the original file strucure(2015/09).
 * How do I set up the plugin to import with the proper date?
 * Thanks!

 * If checked “Organize my uploads into month- and year-based folders”, it will 
   move the file at the time of registration to year month-based folders. If you
   want to register in the same directory, Please uncheck.
