Hello,
I have been trying unsuccessfully to change the upload path of any file uploaded via a specific ACF field.
The field in question has a name of ‘pdf’ and a key of ‘field_67c62165a77ab’
The upload directory I’d like to use is a folder called ‘resources’ inside the uploads folder. The directories of ‘wp-content’, ‘uploads’ and ‘resources’ all have the required write permissions of 7-7-5
This is the code that I have tried using below. The result is that the file simply uploads in the media library using the standard month and date directory of WordPress. Maybe somebody could take a look and advise where it might be going wrong.
function custom_acf_upload_prefilter( $file ) {
// ACF Field key
if ( isset($_POST['acf']['field_67c62165a77ab']) ) {
// Set a custom upload directory
$file['name'] = sanitize_file_name($file['name']);
$upload_dir = wp_upload_dir(); // Get WordPress upload directory
// Set custom folder
$custom_dir = $upload_dir['basedir'] . '/resources/'; // Custom folder path
// Create custom folder if it doesn't exist
if (!file_exists($custom_dir)) {
wp_mkdir_p($custom_dir);
}
// File's new path
$file['path'] = $custom_dir . $file['name'];
$file['url'] = $upload_dir['baseurl'] . '/resources/' . $file['name'];
}
return $file;
}
add_filter('acf/upload_prefilter', 'custom_acf_upload_prefilter');
Something seems to be missing. Hopefully someone here can advise why the file is not getting pushed to the new directory. Thanks
