Revert custom upload/images folder to default

    Hey, party people! I have used your great plugin over the years for simple stuff, and now looking to do something a little more complicated.

    Like many “old” WP sites, we setup the images folder via wp-config to be outside the wp-content folder

    e.g., /root/images vs /root/wp-content/uploads/

    Wondering if you’ve helped folks in past redirect all the post and featured image links in dbase like

    https://site.ooo/images/photo-stanley-hamms-800x600.jpg

    (( site.ooo/image/* ))

    to rewrite to –> site.ooo/wp-content/uploads/*

    If that makes sense. Understanding we need to actually move all the files via FTP to correct directory. And after changing wp-config uploads back to default (never used the /YY/MO/ so not issue here).

    Curious if there is a FAQ on a process like this.

    I am going to imagine this is going to be very common thing as many sites like ours are finding that a lot of caching, staging, etc plugins only work with default image folder.

    Thanks for any feedback 🙂

    This might be better done with phpmyadmin, much like classic old search/replace for http –> https — but thought I’d ask, as the plugin is already in place 🙂
