Media Upload Subfolder and URL Path

Hello @liquidace,

Yes, this can be achieved with a plugin. Here are three options to choose from that offer the ability to create subfolders, change URLs, and manage your media library:

• https://ww.wp.xz.cn/plugins/organize-media-library/
• https://ww.wp.xz.cn/plugins/wp-media-folders/
• https://ww.wp.xz.cn/plugins/media-library-plus/

I tested some that claim or imply that they change URLs. And you’re right, they don’t change the URLs! Most appear to have almost identical interfaces, so I’m guessing they’re derived from a single source. Another just overloaded the resources on my shared hosting account!

In general, there’s little need for changing the URLs of static content like images and documents in WordPress, which is why it’s hard to find this functionality.

I recommend using an open source document management system or file management system if you’re in need of hosting a document repository. Here’s a list I’ve tested or come across:

• https://nextcloud.com/install/#instructions-server
• https://owncloud.com/download-server/
• https://www.alfresco.com/ecm-software/alfresco-community-editions
• https://www.seeddms.org/index.php?id=2

There are also free but not open source options you could use.
