 * I am currently redesigning a website that has been around for years to WordPress.
 * PROBLEM: I have a folder with many PDF files and I want to change the Media Upload
   folder to my existing ./articles/ folder. The Settings section doesn’t seem to
   allow for this (or I am missing something)
 * Change this:
    [http://localhost/wp-content/uploads/2010-truthout6-25.pdf](http://localhost/wp-content/uploads/2010-truthout6-25.pdf)
 * To this:
    [http://localhost/articles/2010-truthout6-25.pdf](http://localhost/articles/2010-truthout6-25.pdf)
 * Thanks in advance.

 * You’re missing something: adjust the `base upload` folder.
