Uploaded photos going into wrong folder

Can you post the steps to reproduce and also more details about your setup (wp version, hosting, etc)

Hey can you try to disable the plugin and see if media still goes to the wrong folder?

Ok, so I investigated a bit further. It appears to be that WordPress’ core upload functions set upload folder based on a post that it’s attached to.

E.g.: You’ve created your post that holds Frontend Uploader shortcode in Dec 2012. Hence all the attachments get uploaded to 2012/12.

There’s a workaround for it, but it’s kinda obtrusive and might lead to unexpected consequences. If it’s really important for you, here’s a snippet that’ll take care of your issue.

add_filter( 'upload_dir', 'my_filter_upload_dir' );
function my_filter_upload_dir( $upload_dir ) {
			// Keep the original year/month
			$old_subdir = $upload_dir['subdir'];

			// Generate the yearly and monthly dirs
			$time = current_time( 'mysql' );
			$y = substr( $time, 0, 4 );
			$m = substr( $time, 5, 2 );
			$new_subdir = "/$y/$m";

			// Replace the old year and month to the current ones on upload
			foreach( $upload_dir as $index => $dir ) {
				if ( !is_bool( $dir ) )
					$upload_dir[$index] = str_replace( $old_subdir, $new_subdir, $dir );
			}

		return $upload_dir;
	}

Regarding the credit, it’s a known issue, there’s no way to remove the field currently. The underlying issue is the top priority for the next version.

Marking as resolved since original question was resolved
