Change Default Upload Path

Hey @mrmocha,

I regret to say this falls under custom development and I would suggest contacting a 3rd party developer. Also, please note that the filter you used is useful when you are using the “Redirect to File” feature.

I know this is marked as resolved but in case anyone finds this going forward you can change the upload location using the ‘upload_dir’ filter.

The following function is modified from the method used in the plugin to set the directory.

The value for $new_upload_directory sets the folder, if you want to use the WordPress default set this to an empty string.

function override_dl_upload_dir( $pathdata ) {
		$new_upload_directory = '/new_upload_directory';
		if ( isset( $_POST['type'] ) && 'dlm_download' === $_POST['type'] ) {
			//if no subdirectory set add one
			if ( empty( $pathdata['subdir'] ) ) {
				$pathdata['path']   = $pathdata['path'] . $new_upload_directory;
				$pathdata['url']    = $pathdata['url'] . $new_upload_directory;
				$pathdata['subdir'] = $new_upload_directory;
			} else {
				//if subdirectory is set, replace '/dlm_uploads' 
				$new_subdir = $new_upload_directory . str_replace('/dlm_uploads', '', $pathdata['subdir'] );

				$pathdata['path']   = str_replace( $pathdata['subdir'], $new_subdir, $pathdata['path'] );
				$pathdata['url']    = str_replace( $pathdata['subdir'], $new_subdir, $pathdata['url'] );
				$pathdata['subdir'] = str_replace( $pathdata['subdir'], $new_subdir, $pathdata['subdir'] );

			}
		}

		return $pathdata;
	}

    add_filter('upload_dir', 'override_dl_upload_dir', 99);
