    Don’t think you can rename that directory without causing yourself a lot of problems.

    Thank you for these videos! You were able to help me move my WP install to a subdirectory on my main site to keep it clean and fix where I messed up on my localhost for a test site.

    It’s awful scary when you are new to all of this and your instructions were clear and reassuring.

    What about changing the upload directory manually SEttings>media-so that the url matches the new location?
