Send it to [info@iptanus.com](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/targert-folder-doesnt-exist/info@iptanus.com?output_format=md). I will put it in the next release and i will mention your name. What is your name so that I can mention you? * Regarding your problem, I see that you use accessmethod=”ftp” and useftpdomain =”true”. Are you using a different domain for saving the uploaded files from the domain of your WordPress website?
