Organize your WordPress Pages & Posts into folders for better management.

<p>WordPress allow you to put uploads in year- and month-based folders. Custom Upload Dir is more flexible. You can construct paths from variables like post title, category, post author, post date <a href="https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/custom-upload-dir/screenshots/" rel="ugc">and many more</a>.</p>
<p>I created Custom Upload Dir ensure my file system is always mirroring the site structure. This ensures I can always find files manually when needed. It also simplifies backups and platform migrations.</p>
