@keith: Yes, this site runs on WordPress and the theme is custom made. And wishing you a very happy new year too :)

Thanks, Amit. I understand the answers.

I’m relatively new to WP so am learning all the time.

I believe this is a WP site. Which theme? (I couldn’t find it from “view source.”)

Again, thanks for helping and Happy New Year!

@Keith:

1. If you can’t find any image in the uploads folder, then maybe you have accidentally deleted them from your web server. Changing the settings from WordPress dashboard does not deletes the images, it only changes the location of the folder where WordPress stores the images.

2. Pictures are not stored in the database, they are stored in your web server. The database contains the URL’s and the necessary refrence for the actual files that is in your web server

3. I recommend not using Year / month terminology because they create folders and subfolders which increases the length of the URL of the image – not good for SEO.

Thanks for the questions, really enjoyed answering them

Three questions:

1. In the original WP setup, everything in “Uploads” disappeared. Any idea why? I can find the pictures nowhere.

2. Are pictures actually stored in the “Uploads” directory or are they stored in the database?

3. Why do you recommend NOT selecting “organize by year/month”?

Thanks, Keith

@giao: You do not need an SQL query, just specify the location of the folder in Image folder settings.
