 * Hi. Nice plugin!
 * Well, I changed the name of WP-content
    and now wordpress cannot find the uploads
   folder when I try to add media.
 * ERROR:
    The uploads directory does not exist, please do a regular WP upload first.…/
   creative/wp/wp-content/uploads
 * Should I put something else in the config file, it already has the new path to
   the newly named content folder?
