# [Plugin: Custom Upload Dir] Stopped Working

 * [14 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-custom-upload-dir-stopped-working/)
 * Since Upgrading to 3.3 and Subsequent versions of the Plugin, no matter what 
   I do, it does not post the images in the directory I want
 * I have it set as `/%year%/%month%/%postname%`
 * And get this `http://mysite.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2011/post-name/image.jpg`
 * I then noticed the new code `%monthnum%`
 * So, I replaced it, like so `/%year%/%monthnum%/%postname%` and saved it to only
   get this `/%year%/%month%/%year%/%monthnum%/%postname%`
 * Which results in `http://mysite.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2011/2011/12/post-name/
   image.jpg`
 * All I want is for it to work the way it used to : `http://mysite.co.uk/wp-content/
   uploads/2011/12/post-name/image.jpg`
 * Please help. (Using the Flash Uploader and Browser Uploader just results in the
   same error)

 * There is a conflict between the WordPress `Organize my uploads into month- and
   year-based folders`-setting and your template path.
 * Disable the WordPress tickbox and use only the template path. Or re-download 
   the plugin and configure it. I’ve added a fix for this.

 * I disabled the WordPress tickbox and it worked like I treat….but I reinstalled
   the plugin just to be sure and that worked like a treat too!
 * Many Thanks 🙂
