 * Hi there,
 * I am having some issues specifying an upload directory for uploaded files. I 
   have tried a bunch of different configurations to no avail. When I add %wp_uploads_dir%
   to the upload directory, I have no problem seeing and accessing the files. I 
   just can’t seem to direct them to a specific folder in the root directory. Is
   there something I am missing?

 * Have you tried entering the full path to your root directory?

 * Yup! I even have tried entering the path it with %, _, -, you name it!

 * Oh I forgot – it may not be documented either. Try %doc_root%, this should point
   to the root directory.

 * I have tried %doc_root% and it works, however, I cannot specify a folder.
 * I have created a folder titled: ‘newuploads’, but it says it’s not a valid directory.
 * I have tried %doc_root_newuploads% and %doc_root/newuploads% to no avail.

 * Sorry I’ve been a bit busy – What you should try is %doc_root%/whatever. Or maybe%
   doc_root%whatever, I don’t remember if it includes the slash. But definitely 
   only have ‘doc_root’ or ‘wp_uploads_dir’ between the % signs.
