About Organize User Uploads
From the official readme · v0.1Description
**Sorry to those of you who downloaded this plugin before I had added the files to the repo. But now they are avaliable and ready to help you organize those uploads.
A very simple plugin that organizes uploads into folders based on the current user id.
Example:
“/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/image.jpg” becomes “/wp-content/uploads/$id/2011/01/image.jpg” where $id is the current users id.
or when uploads are not sorted into month and year:
“/wp-content/uploads/image.jpg” becomes “/wp-content/uploads/$id/image.jpg” where $id is the current users id.
Donations
Installation
- Extract ‘uploads-by-user.php’ and transfer it to the ‘/wp-content/plugins/’ directory
