Custom Upload Structure lets you store uploaded files outside the standard
wp-content/uploads directory — for example in assets/public/ at the site
root — and organize them the way you want.
Features:
- Custom upload location. Store all media in any folder relative to the
site root instead of
wp-content/uploads. - Organize by post type. Files are placed into subfolders named after the
post type they belong to (e.g.
assets/public/films/). Unattached files go into a configurable “others” subfolder. - Year / month folders. Keep the default WordPress year/month structure inside your custom folder.
- Transliteration. Convert Cyrillic and other non-Latin file names to Latin characters on upload (e.g. a Cyrillic file name is converted to its Latin equivalent).
- Post ID prefix. Optionally prefix each file name with the ID of the post
it is uploaded to (e.g. post 42 →
42-photo.jpg). Off by default. - Migration tool. Move existing media between the default folder and your custom structure (and back) without breaking the Media Library. Includes a dry run, optional replacement of old URLs inside post content, and a retry mode for failed items.
- Safety. The upload folder is protected with an
index.phpstub, file permissions are normalized, and a full backup is required before any move.
All behaviour is controlled from Settings → Upload Structure.
