Upload files in your media library to a custom folder structure on your file system created with Real Media Library folders.

== Description ==

Upload files in your media library to a custom folder structure on your file system created with [Real Media Library](https://devowl.io/wordpress-real-media-library/) folders. With this plugin you can determine where your uploads should be stored. This can also have some **SEO benefits for your website**.

For example, if you have created a folder named <code>Products/</code> in your media library (using Real Media Library), your uploads will be stored in <code>wp-content/uploads/Products/</code> instead of, for example, <code>wp-content/uploads/2020/03/</code>.

**This plugin doesn't care about the following:**

- Redirection when renaming files (if you or another website is already using an uploaded image, the URL becomes invalid without redirection to the new location)
- Drag and drop files to another folder in the Real Media Library (the URL of the image does not change)
- The import of a Real Media Library folder structure is ignored and the files are not saved in a custom upload folder
- Limit of 255 characters for the path of a folder structure plus file name
- No support for WordPress multi-sites

**If you want a full-featured solution for a custom folder structure on your file system with Real Media Library, you should look at the [Real Physical Media](https://devowl.io/go/codecanyon/real-physical-media?source=physical-custom-upload-folder-wordpress-org) add-on.** It has solved all of the above mentioned limitations, is performant and stable.

*This plugin is a free micro add-on for Real Media Library with limited support.*
