 * I have a problem with the uploadpath. If I change the default file path adding
   the uploadpath=”wp-content” , users cannot upload file file because of the error:
   file path doesn’t exists or something like this
 * Can you tell me the right option to use to can files upload into myroot/wp-content?
   
   Thanks

 * Hi, the folder defined in Upload Path is relative to /wp-content. So, for instance
   if you want to upload files to /wp-content/inbox, Upload Path should be **/inbox**

 * It would be like this: ../
 * or if you want to upload in a folder inside root, e.g. root/inbox it would be:../
   inbox
 * You can use the double dot (..) symbol to go upwards only one time.
