Until now I have used default WordPress directory structure, however since I started using GIT, I plan to setup WordPress as a submodule and also change the paths of upload folder.
Since the path for existing images is already set in the database, is there a way to change them automatically?
if you need to change default media upload location,you need to edit the
wp-config.phpfile located in the root directory of your WordPress installation. If you want upload directory to bewp-content/filesthen you will need to place the following code inwp-config.phpIf you want the upload directory to be outside wp-content, like http://www.example.com/files/ then you need to set upload path in wp-config.php like this:
For exstining images:-
Copy all the exstining images of uploads folder to new folder which has set in the
wp-config.phpfile.The above information is only to Change the Default Media Upload Location.
