(3) I put them in a directory '_' off the project root and set STATICFILES_DIRS to point to it - and that seems to be where the development server gets its static files, despite the urlpatterns directive. the site's CSS files? Not in /static/, evidently. (2) If collectstatic hoses /static/, where do you put site level CSS e.g. (1) I have to use /media/ and /static/, not media/ and static/ as MEDIA_URL and and STATIC_URL - am I missing something?

Thank you very O'Mahony - thanks! epic post, and very clear. ),īut the only way I can get media files is by referencing /media/media/ e.g.Ĭan anyone tell me what is happening here, and give me a simple recipe for setting up media file handling? In settings.py I have: MEDIA_ROOT = '' and MEDIA_URL = '/media/'. I have folder media in the root of my project directory. Now all media files will be saved under the folder you specified in the wp-config.I'd like to love Django, but this business of static and media files in development environments is driving me nuts. Please go to Settings > Media and uncheck “Organize my uploads into month- and year-based folders.” It's possible to change your file organization so that all media files are dumped in the one folder. The files, by default, are sorted into years and months. You can also change the way the uploaded media files are organized. Please change 'images' as you wish (such as to 'files'.) Media files will be uploaded under the 'images' folder. I normally use FileZilla, a free FTP client application to access FTP. Of course, if you are convenient to use FTP, you can edit the wp-config.php file via FTP. Now, please add the following line immediately above the line ' /* That's all, stop editing! Happy blogging. To modify the wp-config.php file located under your WordPress installation root directory (normally “/public_html”), please right-click on the wp-config.php file and then click ' Edit' on the context menu. Please go the directory where your WordPress is installed. You can add it using the 'File Manger' tool available in cPanel or via FTP.įor example, when using Bluehost, please login to you hosting account and open the ' File Manager' utility available under “ Hosting > cPanel > Files > File Manager”. To change the default uploads path, you just need to add one line of code to your wp-config.php file.

WordPress, by default, saves all media files under the directory called 'uploads.' For example you can see an uploaded image file in your site under the following path: įor some reasons, you might want to change the default WordPress media uploads folder (for example, to such a folder as '/images'.)
