I’m trying to make a script that uploads a file to a specific folder in the wordpress installation.
Basically I want to upload to /uploads. However, in order to do this I need to know the server path for the WordPress installation.
How can I get this?
Use wp_upload_dir() for path to uploads, and use get_bloginfo() to get paths to the WP location
You can retrieve the path where WordPress has been installed to from the
ABSPATHconstant.It should be available in your plugin/theme code, it is defined at the very start of
wp-load.php.See also: Using the ABSPATH constant – What files need to be loaded before use?
