    Hi,

    I want to move all my photo’s outside of the uploads folder:
    – to eliminate the ugly urls to the photo’s
    – to make managing the photo’s easier
    – to be able to move the photo’s to a cdn in the future.

    Which approach is best when using the enfold theme?

    Thanks,
    Sara

    Hi sdeceulaer!

    Whatever method you use that will work with WordPress will work with the theme. The how-to part of it is outside what we can help with via support however.

    Best regards,
    Devin

    Thanks,
    I know this is outside the scope, but as a wordpress newbie, I wanted to be sure the strategy I read about would not cause problems with this theme.

    Thanks,

    Hi!

    You can add something like this on wp-config.php to move the image folder.

    define( 'UPLOADS', '/wp-content/uploads/custom' );

    This will create a folder named “custom” inside the uploads folder. All images will be place on “custom” folder.

    Note: This will change the directory of the image folder and you might need to move the existing images on the new folder.

    Regards,
    Ismael

    I was thinking about using the WP super cache, to go a little further in optimizing the site
