So, you could do something like this:</p> <pre><code>[php] add_filter(&quot;gform_upload_path&quot;, &quot;change_upload_path&quot;, 10, 2); function change_upload_path($path_info, $form_id){ $path_info[&quot;path&quot;] = &quot;/fullpath/var/www/website/artwork/&quot; . $form_id . &quot;/&quot;; $path_info[&quot;url&quot;] = &quot;http://www.superwideprints.co.uk/artwork/&quot;. $form_id . &quot;/&quot;; return $path_info; }</code></pre> <p>That would put them into the correct folder with the form ID at least. They were never in month and day. WordPress uploads are always in Year and Month. Gravity Forms adds the special folder based on the form ID and a random string.</p> <p>I'm not sure if Gravity Forms will create a non-existent root folder when it first goes to store an upload. If not, you'd have to figure out how to ensure the folder exists first. If you do not have a lot of forms, you can create all the upload folders one time before you use the form, so the upload folder is there. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/gform-upload-path-and-not-adding-to-media-gallery#post-124416 Thu, 17 Jan 2013 11:09:40 +0000 Jacko_162 124416@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>or even better adding the "form name" as a sub folder as well as date and day? </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/gform-upload-path-and-not-adding-to-media-gallery#post-124414 Thu, 17 Jan 2013 11:04:51 +0000 Jacko_162 124414@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>yes complete path worked great.</p> <p>although it doesn't sort them into month and day anymore.</p> <p>can this be added? </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/gform-upload-path-and-not-adding-to-media-gallery#post-124400 Thu, 17 Jan 2013 10:44:13 +0000 Chris Hajer 124400@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>On line 4, I would use a complete path rather than a relative path, just to make sure it's going where you want.</p> <p>Does the folder exist in that location already? What are the permissions of the folder and the parent folder? The error there is that the upload folder could not be created. Please create the folder in the proper location with the proper permissions and see if you can upload a small file. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/gform-upload-path-and-not-adding-to-media-gallery#post-124375 Thu, 17 Jan 2013 09:58:46 +0000 Jacko_162 124375@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>ok i added the following to my theme functions.php file;</p> <pre><code>//Changing Upload PATH add_filter(&quot;gform_upload_path&quot;, &quot;change_upload_path&quot;, 10, 2); function change_upload_path($path_info, $form_id){ $path_info[&quot;path&quot;] = &quot;../../artwork/&quot;; $path_info[&quot;url&quot;] = &quot;http://www.superwideprints.co.uk/artwork/&quot;; return $path_info; }</code></pre> <p>in the cart where it preview the image uploaded i get the following link to the image;</p> <p><a href="http://www.superwideprints.co.uk/cart/FAILED%20(Upload%20folder%20could%20not%20be%20created.)" rel="nofollow">http://www.superwideprints.co.uk/cart/FAILED%20(Upload%20folder%20could%20not%20be%20created.)</a> </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/gform-upload-path-and-not-adding-to-media-gallery#post-124368 Thu, 17 Jan 2013 09:42:58 +0000 David Peralty 124368@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Actually, it goes in your theme's Functions.php file.
