The easiest and fastest way to change the upload folders in a blink without messing around with the config file or even phpmyadmin. Meanwhile an old but still a flawlessly working plugin.

I tried the wp-config.php define('UPLOADS', 'wp-content/example'); trick and, while it did save new uploads to the desired folder, images/thumbs were not available, because in media library the new path was concatenated onto the original path — the new path as shown was wrong anyway (slashes got removed), so it wouldn’t have worked regardless. I also tried a different plugin to change/hide URLs and protect the wp site from anonymous direct access to files, which means it allowed for changing default paths. That didn’t work, but this simple one does. Thanks!
