@user197754, if $_REQUEST doesn't contain the file data, then try with $_FILES, but as @Olivier said, you need to know the code (JS/PHP) used for uploading the file / processing it on the server. But are you sure $_REQUEST doesn't actually contain any data specific to the uploaded file (or upload form) - try var_dump( $_REQUEST, $_FILES )?

You will have to look in the custom plugin code to see where the actual file saving is happening to see if the process can be modified. | |

Uploads in WP create a post of type attachment, WordPress itself doesn't care about the location of the files, and there's no built in capability to restrict access to those folders as they're served directly by Apache/Nginx, so to talk about multiple locations doesn't make much sense. Since this isn't a discussion forum, and people need to be able to write a specific answer that fully answers your question, what kind of answer are you looking for? I notice there is no code in your question to work with, can you edit your Q to include it? What problem does this solve?
