WordPress Uploads Media to Wrong Directory Solution

I recently built this site in a subdirectory in preparation for going live once everything was built and working appropriatly.  After I launched the site and tried to add images to a new article Wordpress was still trying to upload the images to the old directory.  Luckily, there is a very easy solution to this problem.

Follow along through these steps to remedy the problem.  If the problem persists, please leave a comment or contact me.

Note: The default upload path is wp-content/uploads

1. Log into your WordPress Admin backend
   
2. Click on Settings
   
3. Click Miscellaneous
   
4. Modify the  Store uploads in this directory field to reflect the appropriate path/to/ your images
   
5. Click Save Changes
