Rewrite URL

[Jennifer2010]

I'm using "Roots" theme for WordPress and it rewrites assets files like mysite.com/wp-content/themes/theme/assets/img/img.jpeg into mysite.com/assets/img/img.jpeg

 

However, I'm trying to get WordPress to rewrite the wp-content/uploads folder to just media ( mysite.com/wp-content/uploads vs mysite.com/media )

 

Can anyone tell me how to do it, provided the following rewrite file?

 

Thank you!

    return str_replace('/' . RELATIVE_PLUGIN_PATH,  '/plugins', $content);
  } else {

  }

Do you have Apache installed and can you access your .htaccess file?

You can perform URL rewriting from there.

 

Like this.

 

RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^/wp-content/uploads/(.*)$ /media/$1

Thank you for the response. I had already tried that before coming here and it did not work. I ended up finding out the change of directory not working was due to a folder permission error so now uploads are stored in the right location and are working. 

 

Thank you!
