<p>This plugin allows attachments to be organised into folders on the server.</p>
<p>Attachments are physically moved into folders, and all references to them in pages and posts are updated accordingly.</p>
<p>Media Organiser was originally forked from version 1.4.2 of Media File Manager by Atsushi Ueda, and has been largely rewritten since then.  It does not yet have the ‘media selector’ function of Media File Manager — in fact, the ‘new’ interface to choosing media is so poorly documented that I can’t work out how to use it.  Any ideas?</p>
<p>There is also a tool on the plugin’s Settings page which allows attachments<br />
whose files are missing from the file system to be tidied up.</p>
<h3>Requirements</h3>
<ul>
<li>MySQL database engine that does transactions, otherwise things will get out of whack of something goes wrong when renaming files.  Information on changing engines can be found on <a href="https://easyengine.io/tutorials/mysql/myisam-to-innodb/" rel="nofollow ugc">easyengine.io</a>. The tables that are affected are <code>wp_posts</code> and <code>wp_postmeta</code>.</li>
</ul>

<h3>Known issues</h3>
<ul>
<li>May not work on sites hosted on a Windows server — haven’t checked the use of directory separators yet.</li>
<li>Does database transactions — so requires a database engine that can do commit/rollback, such as InnoDB.</li>
<li>Does its best to make changes atomic, but things could go wrong if something changes in the middle of renaming files.</li>
<li>No internationalization (yet).</li>
<li>Doesn’t check if posts are already locked for editing before making changes to them, so it’s best to move and rename attachments when you’re sure that no-one else is working on any posts or pages that use those attachments.</li>
</ul>


Media Organiser

Allows media items (i.e. attachments) to be organised into folders.

<p>Relocate Upload lets you specify folders, and adds a menu to the Media Library (and Edit Media admin page) that lets you switch media items between these folders and WPs default upload location.</p>
<h3>Known Issues</h3>
<p>When creating new folders,</p>


Relocate Upload

But mostly throws PHP notices and breaks the URLs to images.



Sometimes works

Wordpress uploads media to one pre-set folder. Relocate Upload lets you switch media to other folders.
