 * Hi,
    I’m trying to serve images from the subdomain, I created a subd. and tried
   to change the upload url path from wp-admin/options.php but every time I put 
   my subdomain at upload url path and save it, still stay blank or the default (
   to double-check it I uploaded an image and the url is the same as it was) the
   site is hosted with Namecheap/ VPS dedicated and Cloudflare – does any of these
   stops to change? also the wp-content/upload I changed the permission from 750
   to 755..

 * You might have missed a few steps in your setup.
    I have found a good guide to
   serving uploads folders from subdomains. You can find it here [https://www.webnots.com/move-wordpress-images-folder-to-subdomain/](https://www.webnots.com/move-wordpress-images-folder-to-subdomain/)
 * Note: Please create a backup before doing any changes. Another way is to install
   another fresh wordpress in a sub directory or somewhere else and test the setup
   there first and then implement it on a live site.

 * Thank you, it was able to change the upload url path only from database..
    but
   im still having problem with server root it doesnt show up nowhere, even if i
   put the php code.. And quick question: i changed the upload url path, after i
   upload one image from media wordpress the image shows only a grey square.. is
   this because i didnt change the upload path?
