I would like to change the default media folder to a shorter folder-name and less “wordpressy” for exp. “media”.
1) Are there any serious reasons not to do that ?
2) If there are no serious reasons, which method can you recommend ?With wordpress 4.4. there is no menu setting to change the default folder any longer. I tried to use following methods, but get malfunction with the theme:
1) in wp-config.php – file: define(‘UPLOADS’, ‘media’);
Result: Theme background changes from blue to white / transparent + content partly mixed up2) With Plugin “WP Original Media Path” same result, theme background white / transparent + content partly mixed up
I`m lucky to get some help,

thanks for the quick response. Yes – I did it in the described way (insert before “require_one”). Look at the result in private link. The theme background color is gone… Before it was blue.

flipssBasilis,
you got it !
I reuploaded the logo (I wanted to do that anyway later) and the background seems to work properly now.
Very strange… can you tell me why ?
Now I reuploaded the other media-files.
Site seems to work properly.
Best regards,
Michael
