Drat. I don’t see a way to mark this back to UNRESOLVED …
So, I was a little worn out when I posted the last update and didn’t notice quite was was going on with the urls. What was/is really going on is this:
The
define( 'UPLOADS', 'media' );command in wp-config.php works just like it is supposed to *unless* EM is active; that is, it sets the uploads directory to (in this case) /media. This is a really nice feature as it makes the site look more professional (/wp-content/uploads kind of screams “I’m a WordPress site!”).When EM is active, the UPLOADS setting gets changed such that the default setting is prepended to the custom setting. 🙁
Yay!! I diff’ed the wp-config-sample.php file against my wp-config.php and found this:
define( 'UPLOADS', 'media' );I commented it out, and now the site seems to be a happy camper again. 🙂
I know I changed the uploads directory on some of my sites, but I pretty much quit doing that after WP took it out of the admin settings. Maybe I had set it for this site sometime in the foggy past? I dunno why it would choose to haunt me only after WP 4.5(*) and only with EM activated.
Thanks so much for your help and ideas!
(*) I have WP 4.5.2 installed, but based on when the problem started, I think it started with 4.5.
Will do — thanks!
Another thought I had … it seems that WordPress should not have any knowledge of the server-side home directory path, so I’ve been poking around the server to see if maybe a recent WordPress install got a variable set wrong (that for some reason only comes into play when EM is active). Just brainstorming.
Nope.
Is there a way that I can output all the custom EM settings I have made so that you can look and see if maybe something looks odd?
First I turned them all off and then activated them one-by-one. The problem occurred when I activated EM. Then deactivated the ones except for EM that I had activated. Still had problem. Then I deactivated EM and activated all of the other plugins … no problem.
We have changed some of the email templates through Event Manager > Settings, but have not modified the code at all. The changes to the templates are nothing fancy … just changing some of the text. We haven’t made any changes recently though … it’s probably been over a year since we made customizations.
Regarding deactivating the plugins, I went through that process before reporting this problem. Events Manager was the plugin that triggered the issue … I can have all plugins active except it, and there is NO problem. I can have all plugins deactivated except it, and there IS a problem.
I just tried switching my theme to WordPress’s Twenty-Fifteen, and the problem is still there. Like I said, I don’t know *how* Events Manager could be causing this issue, but it sure looks guilty.
I think it is an *awesome* plugin and really, really, really hope someone can figure out a solution.

In reply to: How do you change the image upload directory in 3.4.2?There is a Network Admin > Dashboard > Settings > Network Settings which has an Upload Settings section, but no setting for directory:
Upload Settings
Site upload space
Limit total size of files uploaded to MB
Upload file types
Max upload file size KBMore digging… There is a Network Admin > Sites page with tabs to edit Info, Users, Themes, and Settings for each site. Under the site’s Settings, there is “Uploads Use Yearmonth Folders”=”1” and “Upload Path”=”wp-content/uploads”. I changed the first setting to “0” and the second to “media” and Bingo!
Thank you for helping me find it!

In reply to: How do you change the image upload directory in 3.4.2?Done (except I renamed the wp-includes and wp-admin folders instead of deleting them — call me chicken 😉 ). No change. Does it matter that it is a multi-site configuration?

In reply to: How do you change the image upload directory in 3.4.2?I deactivated all plugins (including network activated plugins) and changed the theme to Twenty Eleven. The Settings / Media screen looks the same (i.e., no Uploading Files section). Could this have been disabled in wp-config or something? My site was set up by someone else, and I’m just now taking over full administration of it.
