how upload images and videos to specific folder like wp-content\uploads\folder-name

Question

I used the basic PHP code to upload files like JPG, PNG and so on. To improve, I want to use WordPress secure and built-in functions and classes. I found the excellent wp_handle_upload () function which works great.

The only problem is that I can not move the uploaded file to the desired folder. Can anyone help me please? for example the location folder is wp-content\uploads\folder-name

Answer 1

i do that with some line of code

add this to function.php to change the uploaded file dir

// change dir for anomaly images
function example_Dir( $param ){
    $param['path'] = '/home/yoursite/domains/yoursite.com/public_html/wp-content/uploads/example';
    $param['url'] = ' https://yoursite.com/wp-content/uploads/example';
    return $param;
}

here is the form :

<form action="" enctype="multipart/form-data" method="post" >
      <input type="file" name="file">
      <input type="submit">
</form>

then what PHP code you need is

if(isset($_FILES['file'])){
$file = $_FILES['file'];
    add_filter('upload_dir', 'example_Dir');
    $Result = wp_handle_upload($file  , $upload_overrides);
    remove_filter('upload_dir' , 'example_Dir');
}

done!
