Change upload/library location

IMPORTANT, please fill the questions

We assume you are using Bitnami to deploy your application.

Which version of the application are you using?:
4.8-0
Please choose how you got the application: Installer (Windows, Linux, macOS), cloud image (AWS, GCE, Azure, ...) or VM (VMDK, VBOX):
Installer - Windows
Have you installed any plugin or modified any configuration file?:
All-in-One WP migration, CMSMasters, Knowledge Base, PDF embedder
Describe here your question/suggestion/issue (expected and actual results):
I would like to alter the current library location to a network LUN path (Enterprise). We will eventually host the site on a VM and have all uploaded documents/data (knowledge base) located on a external network location.
Steps to reproduce the issue (if relevant):
Copy the apache log (if relevant):
```
PASTE HERE
```

I did add the following line: define ('UPLOADS', ''.'Uploads' ); resulting in WP showing my default library path including 'upload' yet the rest (theme settings - colors etc.) are messed up.

Hi @digitaalbeveiligd,

To change the upload folder to a path outside of wp-contents you can add

define( 'UPLOADS', ''.'examplefolder' );

To the following file:

/opt/bitnami/apps/wordpress/htdocs/wp-config.php

To use an external network for the media files you could use a plugin like external media upload.

Hi Michiel,

Thanks for replying!

I did define the path in the wp-config.php which works properly yet my theme and other settings are 'broken' showing me correct content but a faulty layout.

Maybe I should rebuild the site after initially roll out the Bitnami including the altered path.

Hi @digitaalbeveiligd,

Did you restart the application? You can do this using the following command:

/opt/bitnami/ctlscript.sh restart

Hope it helps,
