ONE: Can I control the url structure of images? Or, how does the structure work? I would like to upload all my pdfs via (100s of them) and have a nice url, without a date. My current urls are : http://domainname.com/wp-content/uploads/document.pdf. Can that structure be maintained for documents and images even though they are in folders?

Does the url construction include all the folder name structure? Can you give examples of typical url construction? I need url construction without a date.

TWO: If a file is moved to another folder, does the url change (and all instances of the image on the website break)?

THREE: Am I right that files can be uploaded via FTP and then synched into a folder in the plugin? What happens when a file with a duplicate name is uploaded into the folder? Is it automatically overwritten? Do I have the option to overwrite it or does it just dump in and have (copy) added to the name? I have files that will be updated over the years that I'd want to retain the same url.

FOUR: When a file is uploaded into a FTP folder and synched to a plugin folder, how is the url constructed?

Hi,

Thanks for contacting us here about this extension.

ONE: Can I control the url structure of images? Or, how does the structure work? I would like to upload all my pdfs via (100s of them) and have a nice url, without a date.

The structure of URL is: {root}\wp-content\uploads\{year}\{month}\ and it can not be edited.

TWO: If a file is moved to another folder, does the url change (and all instances of the image on the website break)?

And the URL of files is unchangable.

THREE: Am I right that files can be uploaded via FTP and then synched into a folder in the plugin? What happens when a file with a duplicate name is uploaded into the folder?

Yes, you can sync data from your server to a folder. A file name will be added "-1, -2, ..." at the end if you upload more than 1 file with the same.
E.g: image.png and image-1.png
We dont have option to overwrite, but you can replace image if you want to update.

FOUR: When a file is uploaded into a FTP folder and synched to a plugin folder, how is the url constructed?

The structure of URL is still: {root}\wp-content\uploads\{year}\{month}\ when you importing files from FTP.

Hope it helps!

You can change the url structure to sitename//wp-content/uploads by setting the option in Wordpress. The images true url's follow Wordpress options.
