    How do I change upload directory for file field?

    I tried upload_dir hook but doesn't work.
    (It works on Media Library though)

    So if I set it on the custom field setting screen,
    Would it be like this?

    Hi,

    If you use the MB Builder, please add the path of the folder. You can create a file test.php in the folder invoices for example and add this code to the file test.php

    <?php 
echo __DIR__;

    Run the file in the URL http://site.com/wp-content/invoices/test.php. It will display the path to the folder, such as /var/www/wp-content/invoices, then add the path of the folder to the custom attribute. See my screenshot https://share.getcloudapp.com/OAuJevlg.

    Thank you.
    I was able to set custom directory.

    one question. when I set custom directory, uploaded file won't show up in Media Library.
    Is this what it is?

    I may be fine with this behavior though.

    Hi,

    The file saved in the custom folder won't show on the Media Library. We also note about this case in the documentation.

    Unlike the normal case, where files are added to the WordPress Media Library, files uploaded to custom folders are not available in the Media Library. Thus, the data saved in the custom fields is file URL, not attachment ID.

    Thank you.

    Is it possible to set custom directly for image/advanced image filed as well?

    Hi,

    The setting upload_dir only available for the field file. I'm going to create a feature request to support this setting for other upload fields.
